Bulletin ID: 2026-041-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 06/10/2026 10:45 AM PDT Description: AWS CDK (aws-cdk-lib) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. We identified CVE-2026-11417, an OS command injection issue in the NodejsFunction local bundling pipeline in aws-cdk-lib before 2.245.0 (2.246.0 on Windows) that may allow an actor who controls the value of one or more bundling properties (externalModules, define, loader, inject, or esbuildArgs) to execute arbitrary commands on the host running the CDK toolchain via injected shell metacharacters. This issue requires the actor to control the value of one or more of the affected bundling properties in the CDK application. Impacted versions: < 2.245.0 (on Windows, < 2.246.0) Please refer to the article below for the most up-to-date and complete information related to this AWS Security Bulletin.
