CVE-2026-49028: Intel Neural Compressor deserialization denial of service

CVE-2026-49028 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Intel Neural Compressor is a software library used to optimize machine learning models. A flaw in how it processes untrusted data can cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service. An authenticated user on a local machine can trigger this crash without any user interaction, disrupting the availability of systems relying on this software.

Technologies: Intel Neural Compressor. Vendors: Intel.
