Tracked as CVE-2023-48023, the bug exists because Ray does not properly enforce authentication on at least two of its components, namely the dashboard and client.
A remote attacker can abuse this issue to submit or delete jobs without authentication. Furthermore, the attacker could retrieve sensitive information and execute arbitrary code, Bishop Fox says.
“The vulnerability could be exploited to obtain operating system access to all nodes in the Ray cluster or attempt to retrieve Ray EC2 instance credentials (in a typical AWS cloud install),” the cybersecurity firm notes.
