Improper control of code generation in Amazon @aws-amplify/codegen-ui-react before 2.20.6 might allow a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary code in end-user browsers, developer machines, CI/CD environments, and server-side rendering contexts via crafted Studio component or theme schema values due to insufficient coverage and effectiveness of the input validation introduced for CVE-2025-4318
Why It Matters
Analysis dossierWhy It Matters
Improper control of code generation in Amazon @aws-amplify/codegen-ui-react before 2.20.6 might allow a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary code in end-user browsers, developer machines, CI/CD environments, and server-side rendering contexts via crafted Studio component or theme schema values due to insufficient coverage and effectiveness of the input validation introduced for CVE-2025-4318. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.20.6

Matched user-interaction-client (CVSS AV:N, CVSS UI:R)
Exposure
- Identify endpoints reporting this CVE, especially those used for email and web browsing.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A network vector that needs user interaction points at user-facing client software. · Rule user-interaction-client
Exploitation evidence
- Review unusual child processes started by the affected client application on affected endpoints.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Hunting hypothesis from the CVSS vector; it does not show that exploitation occurred. · Rule user-interaction-client
Response
- Confirm the source-stated update on affected endpoints.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A follow-up inventory check verifies remediation. · Rule user-interaction-client
