CVE-2026-124033

The export-cluster-logs and export-image-logs commands in the AWS ParallelCluster CLI before version 3.16.0 contain a relative path traversal issue. An authenticated remote user with write access to the log export Amazon S3 bucket could use a crafted S3 object key to write files outside the intended export directory on the machine running the command. The written files would have names and content controlled by a third party, and would be created with the privileges of the user running the command. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 3.16.0 or later.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
