CVE-2026-122189 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 5.3 (medium) and affects ppl.nn; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

A flaw in the CUDA Optimizer component of OpenPPL ppl.nn allows an attacker to read memory outside its intended bounds by manipulating inputs to the InitQuantization function. The attack can be launched remotely without logging in, but it requires some user action.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- OpenPPL ppl.nn: version range not reported

## Description

A vulnerability has been found in OpenPPL ppl.nn up to bb84dc9952809b3a5a0036858a3d9f68af1c83d5. The affected element is the function OptGraph::InitQuantization of the file src/ppl/nn/engines/cuda/optimizer/opt_graph.cc of the component CUDA Optimizer. Such manipulation of the argument per_channel/bit_width/tensor_max/tensor_min/scale leads to out-of-bounds read. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
