GHSA-xj56-p8mm-qmxj: LLaMA-Factory allows Code Injection through improper vhead_file safeguards

### Summary A critical remote code execution vulnerability was discovered during the Llama Factory training process. This vulnerability arises because the `vhead_file` is loaded without proper safeguards, allowing malicious attackers to execute arbitrary malicious code on the host system simply by passing a malicious `Checkpoint path` parameter through the `WebUI` interface. The attack is stealthy, as the victim remains unaware of the exploitation. The root cause is that the `vhead_file` argument is loaded without the secure parameter `weights_only=True`. Note: In torch versions <2.6, the default setting is `weights_only=False`, and Llama Factory's `setup.py` only requires `torch>=2.0.0`. ### Affected Version Llama Factory versions <=0.9.3 are affected by this vulnerability. ### Details 1. In LLaMA Factory's WebUI, when a user sets the `Checkpoint path`, it modifies the `adapter_name_or_path` parameter passed to the training process. code in src/llamafactory/webui/runner.py <img w...
