Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in AWS aws-cdk-lib up to 2.266.x. This affects some unknown processing of the component Asset Bundling Output Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Improper link resolution before file access in the asset bundling output handling in AWS aws-cdk-lib before 2.267.0 might allow a context-dependent actor to cause files from the build host to be published as the deployed asset. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.267.0 or later.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-107608 since 10/08/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy.
