NVD description

Feast before 0.63.0 contains an unsafe deserialization vulnerability that allows unauthenticated or unauthorized attackers to achieve remote code execution by sending a crafted gRPC request to the registry server. The user_defined_function.body field of an OnDemandFeatureView spec is decoded from base64 and passed to dill.loads() before any authorization check is performed, enabling attackers to embed a malicious serialized Python object with an arbitrary __reduce__ method to execute OS commands as the feast service account.

    Disclosure

    🚨 Critical - Unauthenticated RCE in Feast via Unsafe Deserialization (CVE-2026-56121) Feast's registry server deserializes the user_defined_function.body field from incoming gRPC requests by base64-decoding it and passing it directly to dill.loads()- before any authorization check is performed. An attacker can embed a malicious serialized Python object with a custom __reduce__ method to execute arbitrary OS commands as the Feast service account. This requires no authentication and no user interaction, making it trivially exploitable against any publicly accessible Feast registry server. Full RCE with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 9.8). 👉Upgrade to Feast 0.63.0 or newer .

    Post summary

    Feast’s registry server is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution through unsafe deserialization, allowing attackers to run arbitrary OS commands without authentication. A patch is available in Feast 0.63.0 and higher.
