CVE-2026-9291 - Insecure Deserialization in Amazon Braket SDK Job Results Processing

Bulletin ID: 2026-036-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 05/22/2026 11:15 AM PDT Description: Amazon Braket SDK is an open-source Python library for interacting with the Amazon Braket quantum computing service, including managing hybrid quantum jobs and retrieving job results. We identified CVE-2026-9291, an insecure deserialization issue (CWE-502) in the job results processing component. The SDK's deserialize_values() function trusts the dataFormat field from an untrusted JSON file to control whether pickle.loads() is called on the data payload. A remote authenticated user with S3 write access to the job output bucket can modify the dataFormat field in results.json from PLAINTEXT to pickled_v4 and replace data values with executable payloads, achieving arbitrary code execution on any machine that processes job results. Impacted versions: >= 1.10.0 AND < 1.117.0 Please refer to the article below for the most up-to-date and complete information related to this AWS Security Bulletin.
