9.9 CRITICAL

PR:L because any authenticated app user exploits the flaw; S:C because impact extends beyond TEAM to managed AWS accounts; A:L because access revocation is possible but service continuity is not fully disrupted.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect privilege assignment in Temporary Elevated Access Management (TEAM) for AWS IAM Identity Center solution before version 1.5.1 might allow an authenticated remote user with application-level access to read, approve, modify, or revoke arbitrary access requests, thereby obtaining unintended temporary elevated access to the AWS accounts accessed using the TEAM deployment.

This issue has been addressed in TEAM version 1.5.1 or later. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect privilege assignment in the AWS Temporary Elevated Access Management (TEAM) solution for IAM Identity Center (all versions before 1.5.1) permits any authenticated application user to read, approve, modify, or revoke arbitrary access requests - effectively enabling self-approval of elevated permissions to AWS accounts managed by the TEAM deployment. The root cause is an improperly scoped Cognito Identity Pool that fails to enforce authorization boundaries between regular requesters and privileged approvers or administrators, compounded by client-side derivation of account names and roles. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session within the TEAM application via AWS Cognito - this corresponds to any enrolled TEAM user (requester, viewer, or lower-privilege role), not only approvers or administrators. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H) yields a score of 8.6, but the PR:H designation appears overcalibrated relative to the description's 'application-level access' language, which maps to PR:L - any authenticated TEAM user, not just administrators, can exploit the flaw, making the real-world attack surface broader than the official vector implies. … 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 TEAM version 1.5.1 or later, available at https://github.com/aws-samples/iam-identity-center-team/releases/tag/v1.5.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all AWS TEAM deployments and determine the total population of authenticated users with system access; simultaneously review access approval logs for the last 90 days to identify any anomalous self-approvals or cross-user modifications. …
