Summary

Amazon Strands Agents SDK for Python before 1.43.0 and Amazon Strands Agents SDK for TypeScript before 1.5.0 do not properly isolate conversation state between callers. An authenticated remote user can read other tenants' conversation history and add persistent instructions that alter model behavior for later callers by sending HTTP requests to the A2A endpoint with a different context_id. The flaw is classified as CWE-488, exposure of a data element to the wrong session.

Description from the CNA

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).
