@aws/lsp-codewhispererSummary
Language Servers for AWS (the aws/language-servers project) provide the underlying language-server runtime that powers Amazon Q Developer's AI coding assistance across its IDE plugins (Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, and Visual Studio).
Improper trust boundary enforcement in Language Servers for AWS may allow for arbitrary code execution. If a local user opens a maliciously crafted workspace, any commands within the project configuration files may be automatically executed.
Impact
When a local user opens a maliciously crafted workspace and trusts it when prompted, commands defined in the workspace's project-level configuration files may be executed automatically, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the user's host.
This issue is triggered when a user opens a workspace, trusts it, and the agent subsequently executes commands defined in the project-level configuration files.
Impacted versions: Language Servers for AWS version <1.65.0.
Patches
This issue has been addressed in Language Servers for AWS version 1.65.0. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
Workarounds
No workarounds are available.
