Summary

CVE-2026-87912 is a medium-severity Unverified Ownership (CWE-283) vulnerability in Amazon (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.1 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 37th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-16 (Security and Privacy Attributes) and AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A missing S3 bucket ownership verification in the AWS Security Agent plugin in Amazon aws-agents-for-devsecops before 1.1.0 might allow remote attackers to obtain the private source archive of a scanned workspace, including credentials and infrastructure state contained in that archive,…

more

via a pre-registered storage bucket whose name is derived from a publicly known account identifier. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.1.0. Users should also verify that the scan output bucket in their account is owned by their own account, because upgrading does not release a bucket name that a third party has already registered.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Associating ownership as a security attribute enables subsequent verification of resource ownership.

Requiring access decisions to consider all relevant attributes includes ownership verification.

A reference monitor provides the tamperproof mechanism that can enforce ownership checks.

Access enforcement directly requires verifying ownership before granting access to resources.

Authenticator management requires generation and distribution of values that cannot be derived from observable state.

Cryptographic key establishment mandates use of unpredictable, non-observable values for keys and nonces.

Enforcing defined access permissions and authorizations directly prevents missing ownership verification for resources.

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce use of cryptographically secure RNG sources and disable predictable state-based mechanisms.

Secure SDLC practices directly require cryptographically secure random values instead of observable state such as time or PID.

blocks

Access control policies can require ownership verification before granting access to critical resources.

degrades

Identity management processes can include verification of resource ownership during provisioning and access decisions.

blocks

A.5.18 governs the provisioning, review, and revocation of access rights based on authorization and policy; it does not verify resource ownership and cannot stop exploitation of unverified ownership.

blocks

A.8.2 controls the allocation, review, expiry and use of privileged rights via authorization and least-privilege rules; it has no bearing on whether a resource's ownership is verified before use, so the CWE-283 weakness can still be present and exploited.

blocks

Cryptographic controls replace predictable values with high-entropy, non-guessable material.
