CVE-2026-9291: CWE-502 Deserialization of untrusted data in AWS Amazon Braket Python SDK
CVE-2026-9291 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Amazon Braket Python SDK before version 1.117.0. It involves insecure deserialization in the job results processing component, which could allow a remote authenticated user with S3 write access to the job output bucket to execute arbitrary code on machines processing these results. AWS manages remediation for this cloud-hosted service and recommends upgrading to version 1.117.0 or later to address the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-9291) affects the Amazon Braket Python SDK versions prior to 1.117.0. It is caused by insecure deserialization (CWE-502) in the job results processing component. An attacker with remote authenticated access and S3 write permissions to the job output bucket could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code on any machine processing the job results. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1, reflecting high severity with network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requiring low privileges and user interaction. AWS, as the vendor of this cloud service, manages remediation and advises upgrading the SDK to version 1.117.0 or later.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote authenticated users with S3 write access to the job output bucket to execute arbitrary code on machines processing job results. This can lead to full compromise of the affected processing environment, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and data.
Mitigation Recommendations
AWS manages remediation for this cloud-hosted service. Users should upgrade the Amazon Braket Python SDK to version 1.117.0 or later to address this vulnerability. Check the AWS security bulletin at https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/2026-036-aws/ for the latest guidance and confirmation of patch status.
