SCA: security update for aws-cdk (GHSA-qj85-69xf-2vxq)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418164
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure using
code. Customers use it to create their own applications which are converted to AWS CloudFormation
templates during deployment to a customer’s AWS account. CDK contains pre-built components called
"constructs" that are higher-level abstractions providing defaults and best practices. This approach
enables developers to use familiar programming languages to define complex cloud infrastructure more
efficiently than writing raw CloudFormation templates. We identified an issue in AWS Cloud Development Kit
(CDK) which, under certain conditions, can result in granting authenticated Amazon Cognito users broader
than intended access. Specifically, if a CDK application uses the "RestApi" construct with
"CognitoUserPoolAuthorizer" as the authorizer and uses authorization scopes to limit access. This issue
does not affect the availability of the specific API resources. Authenticated Cognito users may gain
unintended access to protected API resources or methods, leading to potential data disclosure, and
modification issues. Impacted versions: >=2.142.0;<=2.148.0. A patch is included in CDK versions
>=2.148.1. Users are advised to upgrade their AWS CDK version to 2.148.1 or newer and re-deploy their
application(s) to address this issue. (CVE-2024-45037)
