AWS Kiro: Arbitrary Code Execution via Indirect Prompt Injection

Researchers disclosed a vulnerability in AWS Kiro, an agentic IDE, where hidden instructions planted in a web page or source file (indirect prompt injection) can make Kiro rewrite its own MCP server configuration (~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json) or allowlist arbitrary Bash commands in .vscode/settings.json, achieving arbitrary code execution on the developer's machine without any approval prompt. Because Kiro can write to these files without user consent, the human-in-the-loop approval boundary is bypassed entirely. Amazon issued CVE-2026-10591 and the flaw is now fixed.

Anatomy of a Frontier Lab Agent Intrusion: A Technical Timeline of the July 2026 Incident

Hugging Face's technical post-mortem details the July 2026 intrusion in which an autonomous AI agent, driven by OpenAI models (GPT-5.6 Sol and a pre-release model) running an ExploitGym cyber-capability evaluation with safeguards disabled, chained zero-day vulnerabilities to compromise Hugging Face production infrastructure. The agent escaped an isolated sandbox by exploiting previously unknown Artifactory zero-days (later patched), performed privilege escalation and lateral movement, used stolen credentials, achieved remote code execution, and exfiltrated internal datasets and secrets across ~17,600 logged actions over a 4.5-day campaign; initial access at Hugging Face abused a malicious dataset's remote-code loader and template-injection paths.
