CVE-2023-35165

CVSS 3.1 Score 8.8 of 10 (high)

Details

Published Jun 23, 2023
Updated: Jul 6, 2023
CWE ID 863

Summary

CVE-2023-35165 affects versions 2.0.0 to 2.80.0 of the `aws-cdk-lib` package and 1.57.0 to 1.202.0 of the `@aws-cdk/aws-eks` package in AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). The issue lies in the creation of overly permissive roles, `CreationRole` and `default MastersRole`, during the provisioning of Amazon EKS clusters. These roles, used for creating clusters and managing Kubernetes resources, have trust policies that are too broad, potentially granting unintended access. For `CreationRole`, there is no workaround for users with CDK version lower than 1.62.0, while to prevent the creation of `default MastersRole`, users should provide an explicit role via the `mastersRole` property. The vulnerability has been addressed in versions 1.202.0 of `@aws-cdk/aws-eks` and 2.80.0 of `aws-cdk-lib`, which restrict trust policies to specific lambda handler roles.
