CVE-2026-104019
CVE-2026-104019 — OS command injection in the Studio Space startup validation script in Amazon SageMaker Distribution when running on Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio
OS command injection in the Studio Space startup validation script in Amazon SageMaker Distribution 2.x before 2.14.12, 3.x before 3.9.12, 4.0.x before 4.0.11, 4.1.x before 4.1.11, 4.2.x before 4.2.8, 4.3.x before 4.3.5, and 4.4.x before 4.4.3, as used by Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, might allow an authenticated remote user with project contributor permissions to execute arbitrary commands in another project member's Studio Space and obtain that member's temporary execution role credentials via a crafted connection resource property that is interpolated into a shell invocation without neutralization. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.14.12, 3.9.12, 4.0.11, 4.1.11, 4.2.8, 4.3.5, or 4.4.3, as applicable to the minor line in use. Users on minor lines that have reached end of support must move to a supported minor line, because no patched version will be released for those lines. In Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, Studio Spaces adopt the latest patch of their minor line on restart once the patched images are deployed, so no version selection is required.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade sagemaker-distribution to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to
MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.
CWE-78 · Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
- Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
- DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
- Read Files or Directories
- Modify Files or Directories
Mitigation: If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-104019 is OS command injection in the Studio Space startup validation script in Amazon SageMaker Distribution when running on Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, a critical vulnerability affecting sagemaker-distribution from AWS. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-104019. Public exploit evidence is: 1 public PoC repositories reported; 0 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 9 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
