CVE-2023-35165 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) affecting AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) versions 2.0.0-2.80.0 and @aws-cdk/aws-eks versions 1.57.0-1.202.0. It involves overly permissive trust policies for "CreationRole" and "default MastersRole" created by eks.Cluster and eks.FargateCluster constructs, allowing unauthorized access to create clusters, deploy Kubernetes resources, and execute kubectl commands. The vulnerability has a low attack complexity and can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
