This Week in AWS Security
CVEs, service updates, breach analysis, threat intelligence. Curated weekly.
AWS Pushes Back the Shield Advanced Migration Deadline as an EKS NetworkPolicy Bug Surfaces
AWS pushes back the Shield Advanced Layer-7 migration deadline, giving customers until January 29, 2027 to move off legacy automatic mitigation. Also this week: a cross-namespace NetworkPolicy bypass in Amazon EKS's Network Policy Agent, and a TLS certificate validation flaw in the AWS IoT Device SDK for Python.
Five New AWS Bulletins, Led by a Postgres MCP Server RCE
No major breach this week, but a busy one for AWS security bulletins: five new CVEs, led by a critical OS command injection in postgres-mcp-server that turns its read-only safeguard into full command execution. Also patched: a mysql-mcp-server read-only bypass, an SSM Session Manager SSRF exposing temporary IAM credentials, an XXE in the AWS Advanced JDBC Wrapper, and a denial-of-service in the AWS SDK for Go v2.
JetBrains' Cadence Breach Exposes AWS Credentials, Not Just Code
JetBrains concludes its investigation into a three-week breach of its Cadence CI/CD service, confirming attackers compromised AWS IAM users and credentials and accessed files in JetBrains-owned S3 buckets, alongside PyCharm source code and user data. Four new AWS security bulletins close the month, and AWS opens beta registration for its new AI Business Strategist certification.
