AI-suggested
Users should upgrade to Amazon Kiro CLI version 2.27.0 or later and launch it once to apply the fix. For users who ran versions 1.16.0 through 1.19.x, it is recommended to delete the ~/.aws/amazonq/.cli_bash_history file or restrict its permissions to the owner to prevent unauthorized access. No other actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2026-124848 is a vulnerability in Amazon Kiro CLI (formerly Amazon Q Developer CLI) versions 1.16.0 through before 2.27.0 on macOS and Linux. The CLI created local session storage files with incorrect default permissions, making them readable by all local users on the same host. This could expose sensitive session transcripts and prompt history, including credentials and source code. The issue is fixed in version 2.27.0, and users are advised to upgrade and run the updated CLI once. Additionally, users of versions 1.16.0 through 1.19.x should delete or restrict permissions on the ~/.aws/amazonq/.cli_bash_history file.
