{"id":"CVE-2025-8217","summary":"Inert Malicious script injected into Amazon Q Developer Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extension","details":"The Amazon Q Developer Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension v1.84.0 contains inert, injected code designed to call the Q Developer CLI. The code executes when the extension is launched within the VS Code environment; however the injected code contains a syntax error which prevents it from making a successful API call to the Q Developer CLI.\n\n\n\nTo mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to version v1.85.0. All installations of v1.84.0 should be removed from use.","aliases":["GHSA-7g7f-ff96-5gcw"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:27.562486365Z","published":"2025-07-30T00:34:06.733Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/8xxx/CVE-2025-8217.json","unresolved_ranges":[{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"sha256:47f7840ecab6312d2733e1274c513050405886c70f2037fb2f1e9099872b0464"},{"last_affected":"sha256:47f7840ecab6312d2733e1274c513050405886c70f2037fb2f1e9099872b0464"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}],"cna_assigner":"AMZN","cwe_ids":["CWE-506"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/AWS-2025-015/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/8xxx/CVE-2025-8217.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/security/advisories/GHSA-7g7f-ff96-5gcw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-8217"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/releases/tag/amazonq%2Fv1.85.0"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode","events":[{"introduced":"9b4a8a9a4f02408be90b34831cc14d04cf629e7c"},{"fixed":"3df760e3ebbd477c73a8f66f8c42311bd1f85b82"}],"database_specific":{"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"1.84.0"},{"fixed":"1.85.0"}]}}],"versions":["v1.84.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-8217.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/U:Amber"}]}
