CCC.Vector.TH05: Embedding Format or Dimension Attacks

Threat ID:CCC.Vector.TH05
Title:Embedding Format or Dimension Attacks
Description:

Poor validation of embedding formats or dimensions can cause service crashes or logic errors. This can result in denial of service or incorrect similarity results.
