AV:L and UI:R because exploitation depends on the operator running a locally managed server in a specific startup failure state; AC:H because the non-default init-failure condition must occur; PR:N since the bypass needs no MCP-layer privilege, though IAM still bounds impact.

Improper handling of an initialization failure in AWS API MCP Server from 0.2.13 through 1.3.46 might allow an actor to bypass the user-configured security policy and execute AWS API operations that the policy was set to deny or gate. When initialization of the security policy enforcement data fails at server startup, the policy check is skipped for the lifetime of the process. IAM permissions on the configured credentials remain in effect and are unaffected.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.3.47.
AnalysisAI
Security-policy bypass in the awslabs AWS API MCP Server (versions 0.2.13 through 1.3.46) lets an actor invoke AWS API operations that the operator's configured policy was meant to deny or gate. If the policy-enforcement data fails to initialize at startup, the server continues running with all policy checks silently disabled for the entire life of the process, so deny/gate rules are never applied. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV; the flaw's real-world impact is bounded because the IAM permissions on the configured credentials still apply.
