Local build-time path (AV:L) needing control of package.json content (PR:L) and an operator running bundling (UI:R); yields full host code execution (C/I/A:H).

OS command injection in the NodejsFunction Docker bundling pipeline (OsCommand helper) in AWS aws-cdk-lib on all platforms might allow a actor who controls dependency version strings in a project's package.json file to execute arbitrary commands on the host running the CDK toolchain via injected shell metacharacters in the OsCommand helper. This issue requires the actor to control the content of a package.json dependency version string that is processed during Docker-based bundling with nodeModules specified.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to v2.260.0.

AnalysisAI
OS command injection in AWS aws-cdk-lib lets an actor who controls a dependency version string in a project's package.json run arbitrary commands on the host executing the CDK toolchain. The flaw lives in the OsCommand helper of the NodejsFunction Docker bundling pipeline, which passes unsanitized version strings into a shell during nodeModules installation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target uses the CDK NodejsFunction construct with Docker-based bundling AND has nodeModules specified, so that dependency version strings from package.json are processed by the OsCommand helper. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, base 7.0) captures the real profile well: this is a build-time/supply-chain issue rather than a remotely reachable, unauthenticated network flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can influence a project's package.json - for example a malicious contributor via a pull request, or a compromised transitive dependency - inserts shell metacharacters into a dependency version string. When a developer or CI pipeline runs CDK synth/deploy for a NodejsFunction using Docker-based bundling with nodeModules, the OsCommand helper passes that string to the shell and the injected command executes on the build host with that user's privileges. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: v2.260.0 - upgrade aws-cdk-lib to 2.260.0 or later (release notes at https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/releases/tag/v2.260.0; advisories at https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/2026-050-aws/ and https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/security/advisories/GHSA-vcrf-j523-4mrf). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
