AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-112408 is a high-severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 8.1 affecting the target software. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.
Description
Missing verification of source of a communication channel in the default_bucket() function in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK V3 before 3.10.0 and V2 before 2.257.3 might allow remote actors to achieve code execution in the target SageMaker execution environment and obtain IAM credentials via pre-creation of a predictably named S3 bucket that the SDK uses without ownership validation. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to Amazon SageMaker Python SDK 3.10.0 (V3) or 2.257.3 (V2).
