CVE-2026-18953 is a path traversal vulnerability in the get_resource tool of Amazon awslabs.aws-transform-mcp-server affecting versions 0.1.0 through 0.1.4. The flaw stems from improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory when processing the savePath parameter, allowing a context-dependent actor to cause files to be written outside the intended working directory. Because the vulnerable code permits arbitrary file write via attacker-influenced path selection, exploitation can cross directory boundaries and place content in unintended filesystem locations. In environments where written files are subsequently executed, loaded, or trusted by local processes, this can lead to local code execution.
