Executive Summary

CAUTION

This image carries significant risk; production deployment is highly discouraged without strict compensating controls. Exploiting vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-48864 and CVE-2026-48863 in the critical `libsolv` library could lead to information disclosure, arbitrary code execution, or denial of service during package management operations. While this is an official and trusted Amazon Linux image, the presence of multiple high-severity flaws that are broadly applicable makes it unsuitable for direct production use without careful risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Threat Score

74/100

CAUTION

Two high-severity vulnerabilities (>= 7.0) are present on the exposed surface, with a maximum severity of 7.8, posing significant immediate risk.
Critical library `libsolv` is affected by multiple flaws, including CVE-2026-48864 (severity 7.8) and CVE-2026-48863 (severity 7.5).
These `libsolv` vulnerabilities could lead to information disclosure, arbitrary code execution, or denial of service via crafted repository data or PGP signatures.
