How to Fix GHSA-rjc6-vm4h-85cg

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Aws sam cli dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

aws-sam-cli fixed: 1.122.0 
pip install aws-sam-cli>=1.122.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show aws-sam-cli

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-rjc6-vm4h-85cg, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show aws-sam-cli

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Aws sam cli in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.122.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show aws-sam-cli command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In Aws sam cli, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is an open source tool that allows customers to build, deploy and test their serverless applications built on AWS. AWS SAM CLI can build container (Docker) images and customers can specify arguments in the SAM template that are passed to the Docker engine during build [1]. ### Impact If customers specify sensitive data in the DockerBuildArgs parameter of their template, the sensitive data will be shown in clear text in the AWS SAM CLI output via STDERR when running the sam build command. ### Patches A patch is included in aws-sam-cli>=1.122.0. We strongly recommend customers install AWS SAM CLI v1.122.0 or above. Please review logs produced by your SAM CLI runs if you have used the DockerBuildArgs parameter and consider rotating the secrets if you believe they were exposed. ### References If you have any questions or comments about this issue, we ask that you contact AWS/Amazon Security via our vulnerability reporting page [2] or directly via email to [aws-security@amazon.com](mailto:aws-security@amazon.com). Please do not create a public GitHub issue.
