15.14.0 - Containers

Version 15.14.0 is now available for Batch Container, Realtime Container, GPU Transcription Inference Container and GPU Translation Inference Container.

New

GPU & CPU

  • Added a new model property in transcription config for selecting Standard or Enhanced models. See the documentation for more details.

GPU

  • Added support for NVIDIA Blackwell architecture GPUs.

Improvements

GPU

  • New Enhanced model for French (fr) and Russian (ru) give up to 2% relative accuracy improvement.

  • New Enhanced model for German (de) improves accuracy on numerical digit sequences, formatting consistency of alphanumeric entities, and punctuation and numerical entity interactions, resulting in more consistent formatting.

GPU & CPU

  • New Standard and Enhanced models for Norwegian (no) improve the formatting of alphanumeric entities, with additional support for correctly handling:

    • Traditional compounded cardinals

    • Approximate ranges

    • Blood pressure measurements

  • Improved the handling of ForceEndOfUtterance to avoid suppressing zero-duration final transcripts.

Deprecated

GPU & CPU

  • The operating_point property in transcription config is deprecated in favour of the new model property for model selection. See the documentation for more details.

Reason

Transcriber (Batch, Realtime)

libgstreamer

CVE-2025-3887

Manually patched (build 1.24.2-sm-1320260); scanners may still flag it because the base version string remains unchanged

Transcriber (Batch, Realtime)

ffmpeg and bundled codec libraries (libopenexr, libmfx1, libde265, libzvbi, libopenh264, libopenjp2, libvo-amrwbenc, libsndfile, libsoup, libcurl, libp11-kit, glib-networking)

Multiple CVEs - Refer OpenVEX file for full per-CVE list

False positives: most stem from scanners matching against an older ffmpeg version tracker rather than the newer Speechmatics build (8.1.1) actually shipped; the rest are codec paths (video encode/decode, teletext, JPEG2000, etc.) never invoked by our audio-only decode-to-WAV pipeline

Transcriber (Batch, Realtime)

transformers

CVE-2026-1839

Checkpoint-deserialization path not invoked at runtime

Transcriber (Batch, Realtime)

python3-pip (vendored urllib3/requests)

CVE-2024-35195, CVE-2025-66418, CVE-2025-66471, CVE-2026-21441, CVE-2026-1703

Build/install-time only, not on any runtime path

GPU Inference Server (Transcription and Translation)

wheel, setuptools

CVE-2026-24049, CVE-2024-6345, CVE-2025-47273

Base-image packaging tooling not invoked at inference runtime
