SageMaker Python SDK is an open source library for training and deploying machine learning models on Amazon SageMaker. An issue where the HMAC secret key is stored in environment variables and disclosed via the DescribeTrainingJob API has been identified.
This issue has been addressed in SageMaker Python SDK version v3.2.0 and v2.256.0. Upgrading to the latest version immediately and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes is recommended.
Customers using self-signed certificates for internal model downloads should add their private Certificate Authority (CA) certificate to the container image rather than relying on the SDK’s previous insecure configuration. This opt-in approach maintains security while accommodating internal trusted domains.
