Authenticated code execution via exposed HMAC signing key
Published Feb 2, 2026 · Updated Feb 2, 2026
HMAC exposure in Amazon SageMaker Python SDK version 2 before 2.256.0 or version 3 before 3.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to obtain the key. DescribeTrainingJob returns the ModelBuilder per-job signing secret from an environment variable, enabling forged cloud-pickled S3 payloads to pass integrity checks. The attacker needs DescribeTrainingJob permission and write access to the training job output location; execution occurs when the client retrieves remote-function results.
