Summary

Bulletin ID: 2026-096-AWS

Scope: AWS

Content Type: Important (requires attention)

Publication Date: 09/03/2026 11:00 AM PDT

Description:

The AWS FPGA Developer Kit is a hardware-software development kit that enables developers to create accelerators for the high-performance accelerator cards on EC2 F2 instances.

We identified CVE-2026-85028, where a creation of a temporary file in a directory with insecure permissions in the FPGA management tool installation component in AWS FPGA Development Kit (aws-fpga) before 2.3.4 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges via crafted shell content placed at a predictable path in a world-writable temporary directory, which the installation step reads after elevating its own privileges.

Impacted versions: < 2.3.4
