AWS Amplify Studio UI Component Properties Has an Input Validation Issue

Summary

The AWS Amplify Studio amplify-codegen-ui is a package that generates front-end code from UI Builder entities (components, forms, views, and themes) primarily used in AWS Amplify Studio for component previews and in AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) for generating component files in customers' local applications.

An issue exists in the Amplify Studio property binding process of the amplify-codegen-ui package that could potentially allow an authenticated user to run arbitrary JavaScript code during the component rendering and build process.

Impact

When importing a component schema using the create-component command, Amplify Studio will import and generate the component on the users' behalf. The expression-binding function does not validate the component schema properties before converting them to expressions. As a result, an authenticated user who can create or modify components could run arbitrary JavaScript code during the component rendering and build process.

Impacted versions: <=2.20.2

Patches

This issue has been addressed partially in version 2.20.3 and additional fixes in 2.20.4. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds. Upgrade to version 2.20.4.
