Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54286)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to on Windows hosts, an encoded backslash (%5C) in the request path decodes to , which the Windows path resolver treats as a separator. serve-static then resolves a single URL segment such as adminsecret.txt into a nested file under the root and serves it. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read static files meant to be protected behind prefix-mounted middleware.
2) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54287)
CWE-ID: CWE-116 - Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify data on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to on AWS Lambda, the ALB single-header response and the VPC Lattice v2 response join multiple Set-Cookie headers into one comma-separated value. Because commas also appear inside cookie attributes (for example Expires dates), clients cannot split the value back into individual cookies and silently drop or misparse them. A remote attacker can trigger improper encoding or escaping of output to modify data on the system.
3) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54288)
CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the Body Limit Middleware trusts the request's Content-Length header to decide whether a body is within the limit. On AWS Lambda (API Gateway v1/v2, ALB, VPC Lattice, and Lambda@Edge) the body is delivered fully buffered and the adapter builds the request with the client-declared Content-Length, which need not match the actual payload. A remote attacker can declare a tiny Content-Length while sending a much larger body, slipping past the limit.
4) Use of Less Trusted Source (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54289)
CWE-ID: CWE-348 - Use of Less Trusted Source
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive data.
The vulnerability exists due to on AWS Lambda@Edge, CloudFront delivers a request header that appears more than once as several separate entries. The adapter writes each value with Headers.set instead of Headers.append, so every value overwrites the previous one and only the last reaches the application. Repeated request headers such as X-Forwarded-For, Forwarded, and Via are silently truncated to a single value. Request middleware sees only the last value of a repeated header instead of the full chain. For applications that base access control on the X-Forwarded-For chain, this can weaken or alter that decision; for auditing, hop history is lost. A remote attacker can trigger the use of a less trusted source to gain access to sensitive data.
5) Overly permissive cross-domain whitelist (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54290)
CWE-ID: CWE-942 - Overly Permissive Cross-domain Whitelist
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass the CORS protection mechanism.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of the "Origin" HTTP header that is supplied within HTTP request. A remote attacker can supply arbitrary value via the "Origin" HTTP header, bypass implemented CORS protection mechanism and perform cross-site scripting attacks against the vulnerable application.
