Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in AWS CDK up to 2.259.x. Affected is an unknown part of the file package.json. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

OS command injection in the NodejsFunction Docker bundling pipeline (OsCommand helper) in AWS aws-cdk-lib on all platforms might allow a actor who controls dependency version strings in a project's package.json file to execute arbitrary commands on the host running the CDK toolchain via injected shell metacharacters in the OsCommand helper. This issue requires the actor to control the content of a package.json dependency version string that is processed during Docker-based bundling with nodeModules specified. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to v2.260.0.
