CVE-2025-3047

Path Traversal in AWS SAM CLI allows file copy to build container

Published: Mar 31, 2025Updated: Oct 14, 2025 Sources: CVE List NVD GHSACWE-61

6.5MEDIUM

Description

When running the AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (SAM CLI) build process with Docker and symlinks are included in the build files, the container environment allows a user to access privileged files on the host by leveraging the elevated permissions granted to the tool. A user could leverage the elevated permissions to access restricted files via symlinks and copy them to a more permissive location on the container. Users should upgrade to v1.133.0 or newer and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
