Vulnerability Name CVE ID Product Affected Severity Fixed Version 
​Unsafe Expression Evaluation in Codegen-UI  CVE-2025-4318 @aws-amplify/codegen-ui  Critical  2.20.3 

Technical Summary 

The vulnerability stems from how AWS Amplify Studio processed dynamic expressions defined in component fields (eg: label, placeholder).

In affected versions, these expressions were directly evaluated using eval() without any filtering or validation, assuming they were safe.

This behavior enabled attackers to inject malicious code into UI schemas that would execute during the build or runtime process particularly dangerous in CI/CD pipelines where secrets and environment variables are accessible. 

A working Proof-of-Concept (PoC) has been developed and shared by researchers, which simulates the exploit using a crafted JSON component, a Node.js script and a Python server. The PoC demonstrates successful RCE via malicious input evaluated by the vulnerable tool. 

CVE ID System Affected  Vulnerability Details Impact 
  CVE-2025-4318  AWS Amplify Studio (<=2.20.2) Vulnerable versions used eval() to interpret stringified JavaScript expressions in UI components. This allowed injection of malicious expressions such as shell commands, due to the absence of validation or blacklisting.    RCE, exposure of secrets, CI/CD compromise, unauthorized system control 

Remediation

Upgrade Immediately: Update @aws-amplify/codegen-ui to version 2.20.3 or later, which replaces unsafe evaluation logic with a sandboxed function (safeEval) and a keyword blacklist. 

Conclusion: 
CVE-2025-4318 is a severe RCE vulnerability in AWS Amplify Studio caused by unsafe evaluation of JavaScript expressions during UI component rendering or generation.

A fully functional PoC exploit has been published, which clearly demonstrates the risk of using eval() in dynamic application code without input validation. 

The fixed version mitigates this risk by introducing a sandboxed evaluation mechanism and filtering dangerous keywords. Organizations using Amplify Studio should upgrade immediately and audit all inputs and build processes for safety. 

AWS security teams have advised developers to immediately upgrade to version 2.20.3 or later and audit all existing component schemas for potentially unsafe expressions.

The incident highlights the critical importance of implementing secure coding practices in low-code development platforms where user input directly influences code generation and execution processes.

Vulnerability NameCVE IDProduct AffectedSeverityFixed Version
​ Webhook Remote Code Execution vulnerability  CVE-2025-24977OpenCTI  Critical  6.4.11

Technical Summary

The vulnerability resides in OpenCTI’s webhook templating system, which is built on JavaScript. Users with elevated privileges can inject malicious JavaScript into web-hook templates.

Although the platform implements a basic sandbox to prevent the use of external modules, this protection can be bypassed, allowing attackers to gain command execution within the host container.

Due to common deployment practices using Docker or Kubernetes, where environment variables are used to pass sensitive data (eg: credentials, tokens), exploitation of this flaw may expose critical secrets and permit root-level access, leading to full infrastructure takeover.

CVE IDSystem AffectedVulnerability DetailsImpact
    CVE-2025-24977  OpenCTI (≤ v6.4.10)The webhook feature allows JavaScript-based message customization. Users with manage customizations permission can craft malicious JavaScript in templates to bypass restrictions and execute OS-level commands. Since OpenCTI is often containerized, attackers can gain root access and extract sensitive environment variables passed to the container.  Root shell access in the container, exposure of sensitive secrets, full system compromise, lateral movement within infrastructure.

Remediation:

  • Upgrade: Immediately update to OpenCTI version 6.4.11 or later.
  • Restrict user permissions: Especially the manage customizations capability — limit access to trusted personnel only.
  • Review and audit: Existing webhook configurations for signs of misuse, unauthorized scripts, or suspicious behavior.
  • Implement container hardening practices: Reduce risk of secret exposure by:
    • Avoiding storage of secrets in environment variables when possible.
    • Using dedicated secret management tools.
    • Running containers with least privilege and limiting runtime capabilities.

The misuse can grant the attacker a root shell inside a container, exposing internal server-side secrets and potentially compromising the entire infrastructure.

Conclusion:
CVE-2025-24977 presents a highly exploitable attack vector within the OpenCTI platform and must be treated as an urgent priority for remediation.

The combination of remote code execution, privileged access and secret exposure in containerized environments makes it especially dangerous.

Organizations leveraging OpenCTI should upgrade to the latest version without delay, review their deployment security posture, and enforce strict access control around webhook customization capabilities.

Technical Summary 

CVE-2025-46762 arises from insecure schema parsing logic in the parquet-avro module of Apache Parquet Java. When the application uses the “specific” or “reflect” Avro data models to read a Parquet file, malicious actors can inject specially crafted metadata into the Avro schema portion of the file.

Upon deserialization, the system may inadvertently execute code from Java classes listed in the default trusted packages (e.g., java.util), resulting in remote code execution. The vulnerability is not present when using the safer “generic” Avro model. 

CVE ID System Affected Vulnerability Details Impact 
  CVE-2025-46762  Apache Parquet Java ≤1.15.1 Insecure deserialization in the parquet-avro module allows execution of arbitrary Java classes when processing Parquet files with embedded malicious Avro schemas. The issue is exploitable only when using the “specific” or “reflect” data models, and relies on the presence of pre-approved trusted packages like java.util.  Remote Code Execution (RCE), potential supply chain compromise, unauthorized code execution. 

Conditions for Exploitation: 

  • Applications must use parquet-avro to read Parquet files. 
  • The Avro “specific” or “reflect” deserialization models are used (not “generic”). 
  • Attacker-supplied or untrusted Parquet files are processed by the system. 

This creates significant risk in data processing environments such as Apache Spark, Flink, and Hadoop, where external Parquet files are commonly ingested. 

Remediation

  • Upgrade to Apache Parquet Java version 1.15.2: This version addresses the vulnerability by tightening controls around trusted packages and blocking unsafe deserialization. 
  • For users unable to upgrade immediately: apply the following JVM system property to disable trusted package deserialization: 

-Dorg.apache.parquet.avro.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES=”” 

Conclusion: 
CVE-2025-46762 presents a significant RCE threat within big data ecosystems that use Apache Parquet Java with the parquet-avro module. Systems relying on unsafe deserialization patterns are especially at risk. Prompt patching or configuration hardening is strongly recommended to safeguard against exploitation.
