Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Summary The AWS Bedrock AgentCore Python SDK (bedrock-agentcore) provides tools for building AI agents, including a Code Interpreter client that installs Python packages into a managed sandbox. An issue exists where, under certain circumstances, improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the install_packages() method allows a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands within the Code Interpreter sandbox via crafted package name arguments. ### Impact Insufficient input validation in install_packages() allows specially crafted package specifiers to bypass validation and achieve arbitrary command execution within the sandbox. A remote authenticated user who can influence the arguments to install_packages() can execute arbitrary commands within the Code Interpreter sandbox environment. ### Impacted Versions < 1.18.1 ### Patches This issue has been addressed in bedrock-agentcore version 1.18.1. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes. ### Workarounds If you are not able to upgrade, do not pass untrusted or model-generated input to install_packages(). Applications that must accept dynamic package names should validate them against strict PyPI naming rules -- including constraining any extras group to comma-separated identifiers -- before calling the SDK. ### References If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, AWS asks that you contact AWS Security via the [vulnerability reporting page](https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting) or directly via email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Please do not create a public GitHub issue. ### Acknowledgement AWS would like to thank Sergio Garcia (@MrCloudSec) for collaborating on this issue through the coordinated issue disclosure process.
