Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in AWS QnABot on AWS up to 7.4.5. Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the file source/docs/lambda_hooks/README.md of the component Lambda Hook. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Authorization bypass through a user-controlled key in the optional Amazon Q Business Lambda hook sample ( q-business-lambda-hook https://github.com/aws-solutions-library-samples/qnabot-on-aws/blob/main/source/docs/lambda_hooks/README.md ), available with QnABot on AWS versions 7.0.0 through 7.4.5, might allow an authenticated remote user to read arbitrary Amazon S3 objects in the deploying AWS account. This sample solution provides an example Lambda hook and requires separate, manual deployment and additional setup. It is not deployed automatically with QnABot. Customers who have not deployed this optional sample hook are not affected and do not need to take action. To remediate this issue, affected customers should update the QnABot on AWS stack to version 7.4.6 or later and then redeploy the Amazon Q Business Lambda hook sample stack. Updating the QnABot on AWS stack alone does not deliver the fix.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-105811 since 10/05/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

Upgrading to version 7.4.6 eliminates this vulnerability.
