Bulletin ID: 2026-063-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 07/23/2026 08:30 AM PDT Description: The AWS API MCP Server (awslabs.aws-api-mcp-server) is an open-source MCP server that lets AI assistants execute AWS CLI commands against a user's AWS account. It includes an optional, user-configured security policy that can deny or gate specific AWS operations. We identified CVE-2026-16584. On startup, the server loads the data used to enforce this security policy. If that initialization fails, the server continues running with the per-request policy check skipped for the lifetime of the process. When a security policy is configured without the fail-closed modes enabled, an actor could then cause AWS API operations that the policy was configured to deny or gate to execute without enforcement. IAM permissions on the configured credentials remain in effect and are unaffected. Impacted versions: >= 0.2.13 AND < 1.3.47 Please refer to the article below for the most up-to-date and complete information related to this AWS Security Bulletin.

Bulletin ID: 2026-007-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 2026/03/16 09:15 AM PDT Description: The AWS API MCP Server is an open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with AWS services and resources through AWS CLI commands. It provides programmatic access to manage your AWS infrastructure while maintaining proper security controls. This server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and AWS services, allowing you to create, update, and manage AWS resources across all available services. The server includes a configurable file access feature that controls how AWS CLI commands interact with the local file system. By default, file operations are restricted to a designated working directory (workdir), but this can be configured to allow unrestricted file system access (unrestricted) or to block all local file path arguments entirely (no-access). We identified CVE-2026-4270: Improper Protection of Alternate Path exists in the no-access and workdir feature of the AWS API MCP Server versions >= 0.2.14 and = 0.2.14, < 1.3.9 Please refer to the article below for the most up-to-date and complete information related to this AWS Security Bulletin.
