OS Command Injection in bentoml (CVE-2026-44346)
Summary
OS command injection in bentoml (CVE-2026-44346). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via bentofile.yaml. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.4.39 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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:
{% 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).

CVE-2026-44346 (bentoml) — CWE-78 / CVSS v3 8.8
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated
Attack surface: bentofile.yaml / RUN / env.value / bash_quote
Patched: 1.4.39 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
OS command injection (CWE-78) exists in bentoml. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via bentofile.yaml without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of bentoml. Attack surface: bentofile.yaml / RUN / env.value / bash_quote.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to 1.4.39.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'bentoml' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
