Cleartext storage of sensitive information in the @step and @remote decorator pipeline component in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK before v3.11.0 and v2.256.0 might allow an authenticated remote user to extract the HMAC signing key from SageMaker DescribePipeline API responses and forge valid integrity signatures for specially crafted function payloads, achieving code execution in another user's pipeline execution context within the same AWS account.

AnalysisAI
Cleartext HMAC key exposure in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK's @step and @remote decorator components (versions before v2.256.0 and v3.11.0) lets any authenticated IAM principal within the same AWS account read the signing key from DescribePipeline API responses, then forge valid integrity signatures to inject attacker-controlled code into a victim user's pipeline execution context. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, but the attack chain is mechanically straightforward for any account member holding the sagemaker:DescribePipeline permission. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all three of the following: (1) the attacker is an authenticated IAM principal within the same AWS account as the victim - cross-account exploitation is not described; (2) the attacker holds the sagemaker:DescribePipeline IAM permission, which is a standard grant in data science roles; (3) the victim's pipelines use the @step or @remote decorator in an SDK version prior to v2.256.0 (v2 branch) or v3.11.0 (v3 branch). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 uses PR:H, implying a high-privilege attacker, yet the description names only 'authenticated remote user' with access to DescribePipeline - a permission commonly granted to data scientists and ML engineers in shared AWS accounts, suggesting PR:L is the more representative attacker bar. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to SageMaker Python SDK v2.256.0 (https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk/releases/tag/v2.256.0) or v3.11.0 (https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk/releases/tag/v3.11.0) depending on the SDK branch in use; release notes confirm the fix as 'Removal of hmac key parameter for remote function.' As a compensating control before patching, scope the sagemaker:DescribePipeline IAM permission to only the pipeline owner's role or the SageMaker execution role, removing read access for all other account members - note this may break legitimate pipeline-monitoring or auditing workflows that depend on cross-user DescribePipeline access. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct a complete inventory of SageMaker Python SDK deployments to identify affected versions (pre-v2.256.0 for v2.x; pre-v3.11.0 for v3.x) in development, staging, and production systems. …
