AWS Kiro: Arbitrary Code Execution via Indirect Prompt Injection

Researchers found a vulnerability (CVE-2026-10591) in AWS Kiro, an agentic IDE, where hidden instructions planted in a web page or source file that Kiro processes can trigger indirect prompt injection to rewrite Kiro's 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 with no approval prompt. The human-in-the-loop approval boundary is bypassed because Kiro can write to these config files without user consent, and AWS has issued a fix and CVE.

DeepJack Cursor deeplink vulnerability: 1-click MCP server RCE

Adversa AI disclosed a vulnerability in the Cursor AI coding IDE (dubbed "DeepJack") in which a crafted cursor:// deeplink can install an attacker-controlled MCP server that runs arbitrary, unsandboxed commands under the victim's account after one click and one confirmation. The install dialog renders the server command in a single-line field, pushing a malicious tail off-screen, and a double-URL-encoded variant disguises the mcp/install URI as a routine pr-review link. Cursor closed the reports as duplicates, but build 3.9.8 reportedly remains vulnerable.

CYBER ADVISORY

Cal-CSIC issued an advisory for CVE-2026-61459, a critical (CVSS 9.8) argument injection vulnerability in MCP Server Kubernetes, a component that bridges AI assistants and automated tools to Kubernetes clusters. If the MCP server is externally exposed, an attacker can send crafted requests to steal credentials, bypass security checks, inject malicious arguments, and compromise the entire cluster with potential lateral movement across clusters. A fix is available in version 3.9.0.
