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.

AWS, Google, and Vercel Agent Flaws Let Attackers Trigger Tools Without Running the Model

Security flaws in agent infrastructure from AWS (Bedrock AgentCore's InvokeHarness API), Google (Agent Development Kit for Python), and Vercel (AI SDK harness packages for Codex and OpenCode) allow untrusted or forged instructions to reach an agent's tools without verifying that a model turn authorized them. In several attack paths the model never ran, so system prompts, content filters, and model-level guardrails never engaged. AWS fixed the managed service, Google addressed the issues in ADK 2.5.0, and Vercel patched @ai-sdk/harness-codex 1.0.29 and @ai-sdk/harness-opencode 1.0.28. Details →
