Description
Summary
An issue has been identified in the Bedrock AgentCore Starter Toolkit versions prior to v0.1.13 that may allow a remote actor to inject code during the build process, leading to code execution in the AgentCore Runtime.
Impact
A remote actor could inject code during the build process, leading to code execution in the AgentCore Runtime and a complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected AgentCore resource.
Impacted versions: All versions of Bedrock AgentCore Starter Toolkit versions before v0.1.13. This issue only affects users of the Bedrock AgentCore Starter Toolkit before version v0.1.13 who build the Toolkit after September 24, 2025. Any users on a version >=v0.1.13, and any users on previous versions who built the toolkit before September 24, 2025 date are not affected.
Patches
This issue has been addressed in version v0.1.13. AWS recommends upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit to 0.1.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-4269 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
