A high-severity vulnerability was discovered in PaddleOCR's deployment configuration where model download URLs were specified using unencrypted `http://`, exposing users to man-in-the-middle attacks that could allow an attacker to intercept and replace model files with malicious ones. The fix upgrades all model download URLs to use `https://`, ensuring encrypted transmission and integrity of the downloaded files. This change is a critical security baseline for any application that downloads bina

Without this protection, attackers can manipulate any model attribute through crafted HTTP requests, potentially escalating privileges or corrupting data. The fix enforces explicit attribute allowlisting, closing the door on unauthorized mass assignment exploitation.
