strands-agents: Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session
CVE-2026-115419 is a high-severity exposure of data element to wrong session vulnerability in strands-agents from AWS, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.43.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating strands-agents to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update strands-agents to 1.43.0 or a later version.
- Update strands-agents/sdk to 1.5.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on aws.amazon.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description
The A2A server component in Amazon Strands Agents SDK for Python before 1.43.0 and Amazon Strands Agents SDK for TypeScript before 1.5.0 does not properly isolate conversation state between callers. An authenticated remote user could read other tenants' conversation history and add persistent instructions that alter model behavior for subsequent callers via HTTP requests to the A2A endpoint using a different context_id. To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to strands-agents 1.43.0 (Python) or @strands-agents/sdk 1.5.0 (TypeScript).

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session
The product does not sufficiently enforce boundaries between the states of different sessions, causing data to be provided to, or used by, the wrong session.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Protect the application's sessions from information leakage. Make sure that a session's data is not used or visible by other sessions.
- Use a static analysis tool to scan the code for information leakage vulnerabilities (e.g. Singleton Member Field).
- In a multithreading environment, storing user data in Servlet member fields introduces a data access race condition. Do not use member fields to store information in the Servlet.
