# fastsafetensors header DoS — PoC model file Security proof-of-concept for a Denial-of-Service in [`foundation-model-stack/fastsafetensors`](https://github.com/foundation-model-stack/fastsafetensors) (HEAD `8d35826`). Reported via huntr's Model File Vulnerability program. `model.safetensors` is a ~80-byte safetensors file whose header carries a tensor entry with an **invalid `dtype`**. Loading it crashes the parser with an uncaught `ValueError`, before any tensor data is read. This affects any app using fastsafetensors, including vLLM / SGLang started with `--load-format fastsafetensors`. ## Reproduce ```python from fastsafetensors.common import SafeTensorsMetadata from fastsafetensors.frameworks import get_framework_op SafeTensorsMetadata.from_file("model.safetensors", get_framework_op("pytorch")) # -> ValueError: 'NOTADTYPE' is not a valid DType (uncaught -> loader crash)
