DATASET VIEWER LOCKS DOWN ARROW, FUNES SHIPS GROUNDED ASK
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face
Hugging Face security teams moved overnight to contain a critical Arrow IPC parsing vulnerability in dataset-viewer while shipping three production hardening releases across Repo2RLEnv, optimum-executorch, and funes.
The dataset-viewer team disabled raw Arrow dataset support entirely [2], returning HTTP 501 on all Arrow IPC reads as an immediate containment measure while the upstream datasets library review completes [2]. This guard routes all Arrow parsing through safe_load_dataset_builder, covering both streaming first-rows and Parquet conversion workers. In parallel, nginx upgraded to 1.27.0 to address CVE-2026-42533 [1]. The Repo2RLEnv team shipped two pipeline hardening releases: equivalence_tests v0.8.7 closed a full-source instruction leak where agents could copy oracle code verbatim [3], and code_instruct v0.8.6 fixed a critical prompt bug that explicitly told LLMs to avoid importing the target package [4]. funes v1.1.0 ships grounded Claude/Codex ask queries [7] that enforce forced-injection grounding for accuracy (codex already did this; Claude now matches it after latency testing showed agentic recall cost 2.5-7x more and missed relevance on first recall [8]). Three separate CLI breaking changes ship in funes: store becomes memory, list/REPL interfaces are renamed [7]. optimum-executorch hardened CI to handle large model OOM kills by adding swap and aggressive disk cleanup [5], while fixing XLM-Roberta sequence shapes and T5 cross-attention export [6].
