DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient input validation in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness might allow an authenticated remote user to execute configured tools bypassing model invocation and security controls via crafted content blocks in conversation messages. AWS has addressed this issue. No customer action is required.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient input validation in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness allows authenticated remote users to bypass model invocation and associated security controls by submitting crafted content blocks within conversation messages, directly triggering configured tool execution outside the intended agentic pipeline. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 with high confidentiality and integrity impact against the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H), reflecting the potential for an attacker to invoke tools with whatever permissions those tools hold - such as S3 read access, database queries, or external API calls - without passing through model-layer guardrails. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain valid AWS credentials with Bedrock AgentCore access
Delivery
Craft malicious content blocks in conversation message
Exploit
Submit message to AgentCore harness API
Execution
Bypass model invocation layer via input validation gap
Persist
Trigger direct execution of configured tools
Impact
Access or manipulate resources via tool permissions

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid AWS identity with authenticated access to an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agent (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector), specifically the ability to submit conversation messages to the AgentCore harness API. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores 8.6, reflecting network-accessible exploitation with low complexity, no attack target preconditions, and no user interaction required - but constrained by the requirement for low-privilege authenticated access (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated AWS principal with permission to interact with a Bedrock AgentCore agent constructs a conversation message containing a crafted content block that exploits the insufficient input validation to directly signal tool invocation without routing through the model inference step. The AgentCore harness processes the malformed block and executes the targeted tool - for example, a tool with permissions to read from an S3 bucket or query a connected database - returning results to the attacker outside the visibility of model-layer safety controls. …
Remediation AWS has fully deployed a server-side fix for this vulnerability; no customer action is required to receive the patch, as Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a managed service. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, confirm with AWS that your Bedrock environment is running the fully remediated version (AWS-managed server-side fix requires no customer patch installation). …
