What is CVE-2026-24123?

CVE-2026-24123 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in BentoML, published on 26 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

BentoML is a Python library for building online serving systems optimized for AI apps and model inference. Prior to version 1.4.34, BentoML's `bentofile.yaml` configuration allows path traversal attacks through multiple file path fields (`description`, `docker.setup_script`, `docker.dockerfile_template`, `conda.environment_yml`). An attacker can craft a malicious bentofile that, when built by a victim, exfiltrates arbitrary files from the filesystem into the bento archive. This enables supply chain attacks where sensitive files (SSH keys, credentials, environment variables) are silently embedded in bentos and exposed when pushed to registries or deployed. Version 1.4.34 contains a patch for the issue.

Weakness: CWE-22
