AWS ParallelCluster CLI <3.16.0 Path Traversal in export-logs
CVE-2026-124033 Published on November 9, 2026
Relative path traversal in the log export commands in AWS ParallelCluster CLI
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.

Relative Path Traversal
The software uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. This allows attackers to traverse the file system to access files or directories that are outside of the restricted directory.
