Last modified
CVE-2026-81838 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A relative path traversal issue in the zip extraction functionality in AWS diagram-as-code (awsdac) in versions 0.10 through 0.23 can allow a third party to write arbitrary files to the local filesystem via crafted zip entry names containing path traversal sequences. This could allow the third party to perform inappropriate actions in the diagram bundle. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to the version 0.24 or later.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
