CVE-2026-48037 at a Glance
How to Fix CVE-2026-48037
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @hulumi/baseline dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @hulumi/baseline@1.4.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @hulumi/baseline
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-48037, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @hulumi/baseline
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @hulumi/baseline in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @hulumi/baseline command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"details" : "**Affected:** `@hulumi/baseline` `< 1.4.0` — **Fixed in:** `1.4.0` — **Severity:** Medium — **CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure)**\n\n#### Summary\n\n`AccountFoundation` can either create AWS detective services (GuardDuty for threat detection, Security Hub for compliance dashboards) or reuse pre-existing ones via opt-in flags. The reuse paths just imported the existing resources and reported success — they never checked whether the existing services were actually doing their job.\n\n1. **GuardDuty reuse.** If the existing detector was suspended, or set to the slower 6-hour publishing cadence instead of the baseline 15-minute one, or otherwise misconfigured — Hulumi never noticed. The deployment succeeded with a misleadingly-positive `guardDutyDetectorId` output as if the baseline were active.\n2. **Security Hub reuse.** Although the account import was read-only, Hulumi unconditionally created the CIS / NIST `StandardsSubscription` resources with default delete behaviour. Pulumi then treated those subscriptions as its own — a later `pulumi destroy` of the stack would call `BatchDisableStandards`, unsubscribing the account from CIS / NIST compliance monitoring even on accounts that had those subscriptions before Hulumi ever ran.\n\n#### Impact\n\nConsumers using `AccountFoundation`'s reuse mode could:\n\n- ship deployments that appeared to enable a detective baseline but actually weren't (case 1), or\n- accidentally turn off CIS / NIST compliance monitoring on an existing account just by destroying a Hulumi stack (case 2 — no malicious intent needed; a normal stack teardown was enough).\n\n#### Patches\n\nUpgrade to `@hulumi/baseline@1.4.0`.\n\n- GuardDuty reuse now asserts the imported detector is `ENABLED` with `findingPublishingFrequency: FIFTEEN_MINUTES`. Wrong posture fails the deploy at preview time.\n- Security Hub reuse creates the CIS / NIST `StandardsSubscription` resources with `retainOnDelete: true`, so destroying a reused stack no longer unsubscribes the account.\n\nNet-new (non-reuse) deployments are unchanged.\n\n#### Workarounds\n\nDon't reuse pre-existing detective services with `AccountFoundation` before upgrading. If reuse is unavoidable, manually verify detector posture out-of-band.\n\n#### Resources\n\n- [PR #178](https://github.com/kerberosmansour/hulumi/pull/178) (Cluster G); regression tests in\n `packages/baseline/tests/guardduty-reuse-posture.test.ts` and\n `packages/baseline/tests/securityhub-reuse-retain.test.ts`.",
