AWS Bedrock AgentCore: Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the Python SDK install_packages()

Quick fix

GHSA-j6g5-3hh3-pgw8 — bedrock-agentcore: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'bedrock-agentcore>=1.18.1'

Details

### Summary

The AWS Bedrock AgentCore Python SDK (bedrock-agentcore) provides tools for building AI agents, including a Code Interpreter client that installs Python packages into a managed sandbox. An issue exists where, under certain circumstances, improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the install_packages() method allows a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands within the Code Interpreter sandbox via crafted package name arguments.

### Impact Insufficient input validation in install_packages() allows specially crafted package specifiers to bypass validation and achieve arbitrary command execution within the sandbox. A remote authenticated user who can influence the arguments to install_packages() can execute arbitrary commands within the Code Interpreter sandbox environment.

### Impacted Versions < 1.18.1

### Patches This issue has been addressed in bedrock-agentcore version 1.18.1. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

### Workarounds If you are not able to upgrade, do not pass untrusted or model-generated input to install_packages(). Applications that must accept dynamic package names should validate them against strict PyPI naming rules -- including constraining any extras group to comma-separated identifiers -- before calling the SDK.
