Requires the documented principal (PR:L, not PR:N); network IAM API vector with low complexity; primary impact is integrity via unauthorized elevated role creation, with limited confidentiality/availability effect confined to the sandbox account (S:U).
Primary rating from Vendor (VulnCheck).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
hulumi versions before v1.3.2 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the weekly integration IAM policy that allows role lifecycle operations on af-e2e-* roles without sufficient boundary restrictions. Attackers with the documented principal can create persistent higher-privilege roles in the sandbox account.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in hulumi before v1.3.2 lets an actor holding the documented IAM principal abuse the weekly integration IAM policy to perform role lifecycle operations on af-e2e-* roles that lack sufficient permission-boundary restrictions. Because the policy allows role creation without a constraining boundary, the actor can mint persistent, higher-privilege roles inside the sandbox AWS account, converting scoped test access into durable elevated access. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires control of the specific 'documented principal' referenced by hulumi's weekly integration workflow, and a target of role lifecycle operations on roles matching the af-e2e-* prefix within the sandbox AWS account; the enabling defect is the absence of a permissions boundary on those role-creation actions in the integration IAM policy. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The input CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) yields a 9.3 Critical score and models a network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction attack with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to hulumi v1.3.2 or later, which corrects the weekly integration IAM policy (fix version confirmed by the advisory as the first non-vulnerable release: Vendor-released patch: v1.3.2). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
