CVE-2026-26210 PUBLISHED

KTransformers Unsafe Deserialization RCE via balance_serve

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 11.02.2026 Published: 23.04.2026 Updated: 23.04.2026

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.
