CVE-2026-49121
The vulnerability is in AMD's AI Tensor Engine for ROCm (AITER) version 0.1.14 and earlier. An unauthenticated attacker can send a malicious pickle payload to a ZMQ SUB socket, causing the inference worker process to execute arbitrary code on every remote reader worker. This could let attackers take full control of the affected system.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
Who is affected
AMD AI Tensor Engine for ROCm (AITER) 0.1.14 and earlier.
Real-world impact
An attacker who can reach the writer XPUB endpoint or supply a forged handle can run any code on the inference workers, potentially compromising the entire cluster.
Why this severity
The CVSS score of 9.2 reflects that the flaw allows remote code execution with no authentication, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and is exploitable over the network.
What to do about it
No official fix or mitigation is documented in the sources yet. Monitor the vendor advisory and apply the patch as soon as it is released.
