AI-suggested

A patch is available. Users should upgrade AWS Bedrock AgentCore Python SDK to version 1.6.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is a cloud service component, AWS manages remediation for the cloud-hosted service, but customers using the SDK should update their local installations accordingly. Check the AWS security advisory at https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/2026-044-aws/ for the latest guidance.

Description

CVE-2026-12530 is a high-severity vulnerability in AWS Bedrock AgentCore Python SDK versions from 1.1.3 up to but not including 1.6.1. It involves improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the install_packages() method, which could allow a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands within the Code Interpreter sandbox by crafting malicious package name arguments. AWS has released version 1.6.1 to address this issue.
