CVE-2026-26210
KTransformers through 0.5.3 contains an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the balance_serve backend mode where the scheduler RPC server binds a ZMQ ROUTER socket to all interfaces with no authentication and deserializes incoming messages using pickle.loads() without validation. Attackers can send a crafted pickle payload to the exposed ZMQ socket to execute arbitrary code on the server with the privileges of the ktransformers process.
View on NVDAnalysis
KTransformers versions up to 0.5.3 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution when using the balance_serve backend mode. The scheduler RPC server exposes a network socket that deserializes incoming messages without validation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host machine. If you are using this tool for AI model inference, ensure you update or restrict network access to the RPC ports immediately.
