CVE-2026-89065 and CVE-2026-89066: Issue with projen - Path traversal and OS command injection

Bulletin ID: 2026-108-AWS
Scope: AWS
Content Type: Important (requires attention)

projen is an open-source tool for defining and synthesizing software project configurations as code. AWS identified two issues in projen affecting the generated file manifest cleanup component and the task synthesis component.

  • CVE-2026-89065 — Relative path traversal in the generated file manifest cleanup component in projen before 0.101.37 might allow context-dependent attackers to recursively delete files and directories outside the project directory, via crafted entries in the version-controlled generated file manifest (.projen/files.json) that is consumed during project synthesis. The corrected containment check is automatically applied by the projen runtime the next time it is run.
  • CVE-2026-89066 — Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command in the task synthesis component in projen before 0.103.0 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a developer workstation or continuous integration runner via shell metacharacters in project configuration values and repository file names that are interpolated into generated task definitions in .projen/tasks.json.
  • All projen versions before 0.101.37 (CVE-2026-89065)
  • All projen versions before 0.103.0 (CVE-2026-89066)
  • CVE-2026-89065 has been addressed in projen version 0.101.37. Upgrading to 0.101.37 or later is sufficient; re-synthesis is not required.
  • CVE-2026-89066 has been addressed in projen version 0.103.0. After upgrading, you must re-synthesize your project to regenerate .projen/tasks.json with the corrected task definitions. Upgrading alone is not sufficient because the generated task definition file is committed to the repository.
  • We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
