DescriptionCVE.org

Cleartext storage of sensitive information in the ModelBuilder/Serve component in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK before v2.257.2 and v3 before v3.8.0 might allow a remote authenticated actor to extract the HMAC signing key from SageMaker API responses and forge valid integrity signatures for specially crafted model artifacts, achieving code execution in inference containers. This issue requires a remote authenticated actor with permissions to call SageMaker describe APIs and S3 write access to the model artifact path.

To remediate this issue, we recommend upgrading to Amazon SageMaker Python SDK v2.257.2 or v3.8.0 and rebuild any models previously created with ModelBuilder using the updated SDK.

AnalysisAI

Cleartext HMAC signing key exposure in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK versions <2.257.2 and <3.8.0 enables authenticated attackers with SageMaker describe API and S3 write permissions to forge model artifact integrity signatures and achieve remote code execution in inference containers. AWS released patches in v2.257.2 and v3.8.0 with security fixes addressing Triton HMAC key exposure and missing integrity checks. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis, suggesting limited exploitation activity despite high CVSS score.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability affects the ModelBuilder/Serve component in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK (CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information). SageMaker uses HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) signing to validate the integrity of model artifacts before loading them into inference containers. The SDK improperly exposed the HMAC signing key in cleartext within SageMaker API responses when calling describe operations. This cryptographic key material should be protected as sensitive data. When compromised, attackers can forge valid HMAC signatures for malicious model artifacts, bypassing integrity validation. Model artifacts in SageMaker are serialized Python objects (typically pickled) that execute upon deserialization in inference containers, making signature forgery equivalent to arbitrary code execution. The fix in v2.257.2/v3.8.0 addresses both the key exposure and adds missing integrity checks per GitHub release notes referencing 'Triton HMAC key exposure and missing integrity check' remediation.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Amazon SageMaker Python SDK to version 2.257.2 (for v2.x users) or version 3.8.0 (for v3.x users) immediately. Official patch releases available at https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk/releases/tag/v2.257.2 and https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk/releases/tag/v3.8.0. CRITICAL: Upgrading the SDK alone is insufficient - AWS explicitly recommends rebuilding ALL models previously created with ModelBuilder using the updated SDK versions, as existing model artifacts may have been created with exposed HMAC keys and lack proper integrity validation. Compensating controls if immediate upgrade is not feasible: implement strict IAM policies to revoke SageMaker DescribeModel/DescribeEndpoint permissions from non-essential principals (reduces attacker pool), enable S3 bucket versioning and object lock on model artifact storage paths to detect unauthorized modifications (creates audit trail but does not prevent exploitation), restrict S3 write permissions to model artifact buckets using least-privilege SCPs and bucket policies (raises attack complexity). Trade-offs: IAM restrictions may disrupt legitimate ML workflows requiring describe access; S3 controls add operational overhead for model deployment pipelines. These mitigations only reduce attack surface and do not eliminate the underlying cryptographic key exposure - upgrading and rebuilding models remains the only complete remediation.
