CVE-2025-1969Network attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via approver injection

Published Mar 4, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025

Improper authorization in AWS TEAM before 1.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to self-approve eligible access requests. The GraphQL API accepts a requester-controlled approver field without enforcing field-level authorization, allowing approval to be spoofed. The user must already be onboarded to the requested role; the flaw does not grant access to roles for which that user is ineligible.
