CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Amazon AWS CLI, specifically in the EMR SSH helper commands, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept SSH sessions and file transfers due to a lack of entity authentication during key exchange. Organizations using affected versions of the AWS CLI should prioritize upgrading to at least version 1.45.28 for AWS CLI v1 or 2.35.3 for AWS CLI v2 to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data interception. This is particularly critical for users managing sensitive data or operating in regulated environments.

Original NVD Description
Key exchange without entity authentication in the EMR SSH helper commands in Amazon AWS CLI before 1.45.28 and AWS CLI v2 before 2.35.3 might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept SSHsessions and file transfers via network positioning between the client and the EMR cluster endpoint. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to AWS CLI v1 1.45.28 or later, or AWS CLI v2 2.35.3 or later.
