CISA added a critical flaw in Ray, the open-source framework for scaling AI and machine-learning workloads, to its exploited-vulnerabilities catalog and gave federal agencies just three days to fix it. Tracked as CVE-2025-62593 and scored 9.4, the bug stems from Ray leaving key dashboard and job endpoints unauthenticated; its only browser defense checked that the request's user-agent began with Mozilla, which attackers can forge. Combined with a DNS rebinding attack, a malicious website or advertisement viewed while running Ray can execute code on the developer's machine. A DDoS botnet adopted it before public disclosure, and a separate campaign has been turning unpatched Ray clusters with GPUs into cryptocurrency miners.
Researchers at XLab detailed NadMesh, a Go based botnet spreading since early July that hunts exposed AI and automation services rather than raw computing power. A reconnaissance module queries a public device search engine for internet facing instances of tools like Ollama, ComfyUI, n8n, Open WebUI, Langflow, and Gradio, then works through more than twenty exploitation paths. What it ships home is credentials: cloud access keys pulled from environment variables, Kubernetes service account tokens, and the contents of files like .env and Docker configuration. Callable tool endpoints on AI integration servers sit at the top of the operator's priority list, above Kubernetes and exposed Docker APIs.
Sysdig observed the first in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-33626 against its honeypot fleet 12 hours and 31 minutes after the GitHub advisory went live on April 21. LMDeploy is Shanghai AI Laboratory's open source toolkit for serving vision-language and text LLMs. The flaw is in load_image() in lmdeploy/vl/utils.py: it fetches arbitrary URLs from the image_url field without validating link-local, loopback, or RFC1918 ranges. CVSS 7.5. The attacker used LMDeploy as a generic SSRF primitive over an eight-minute session - port-scanning AWS IMDS, localhost Redis, MySQL, and an admin interface. v0.12.3 fixes it.
