boto/boto3 security audit
What nittim read in this repository, and what it found. Public repository, public reading — sourced from its own code and dependency manifests, nothing else.
AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)
Python · 9.9k stars · last push October 30, 2026
boto/boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python. It provides developers with tools to write software that uses Amazon Web Services through Python code.
Nittim scanned 2310 files in boto/boto3 and found evidence of vulnerable runtime dependencies. The scan identified 4 vulnerable packages in the dependency tree. Two packages contained known vulnerabilities: soupsieve with advisories GHSA-2wc2-fm75-p42x and GHSA-836r-79rf-4m37, and urllib3 with advisories GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77 and GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw.
Developers should rescan boto/boto3 after updating the vulnerable dependencies to confirm the issues are resolved. Running a full audit will provide detailed information about each vulnerable advisory and help prioritize remediation efforts.
Written from nittim's own scan on November 2, 2026; rescanned when the repository changes.
No verdict. The rule-based check reports hard evidence, or reports that it found none. Neither is a judgment on whether this code is safe to ship.
What was read — rule-based scan
Rule-based checks run on nittim's servers — a secret scanner and a dependency check, no model in the path. The code reached those two and stopped there.
Read 2310 of 2310 eligible files. Commit 8497462. 2026-11-02.
