Details
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.
