9.6 CRITICAL

Bypassing an SCP boundary requires an existing authenticated AWS principal (PR:L); the escape crosses the IAM guardrail into otherwise-restricted scope (S:C) enabling unauthorized access and modification, with no direct availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

hulumi versions before v1.3.2 contain a deployment SCP template that allows tag-on-create bypasses for hulumi:iac-role protections. Attackers can bypass intended IAM boundary restrictions by exploiting the weakened SCP template in downstream deployments.

AnalysisAI

IAM boundary bypass in hulumi versions before v1.3.2 stems from a deployment Service Control Policy (SCP) template that permits tag-on-create bypasses of the hulumi:iac-role protections. Operators of downstream AWS deployments provisioned with the weakened template can circumvent intended organizational IAM restrictions, undermining privilege boundaries meant to constrain the IaC deployment role. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an AWS environment where hulumi's deployment SCP template (versions before v1.3.2) has been applied to protect the hulumi:iac-role, and an actor able to issue resource create/tag API calls within that organization. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied 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 rating with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and no privileges required. … 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 hulumi to v1.3.2 or later, which corrects the SCP template so tag-on-create can no longer bypass the hulumi:iac-role protections (Vendor-released patch: v1.3.2, per GHSA-86q4-r5j3-ff5c). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
