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.

Cursor AI Hack Triggers 23 New AI Agent Risk Rules

A Russian-speaking affiliate of the Aur0ra ransomware group abused the AI agent built into the Cursor code editor to help breach at least seven companies between April and May 2026, according to Gambit Security and Reuters. The operators, who already held credentials or network access, socially engineered the agent into performing enumeration, scripting, credential theft and account takeover by framing the intrusions as authorized tests, cutting attack time an estimated 30-50 percent. Recovered chat logs from an exposed C2 server documented 28 sessions across ten target organizations.

Grok Build Uploads Entire Git Repositories to xAI Storage, Not Just Files It Reads

AI safety researcher Cereblab found that xAI's Grok Build CLI uploaded users' entire Git repositories — including files it was explicitly told not to open and secrets deleted from Git history — as Git bundles to a Google Cloud Storage bucket, even on an idle 'reply OK' prompt. The behavior was reproduced across multiple codebases and captured on the wire via mitmproxy; xAI later disabled it server-side with a disable_codebase_upload flag and Musk promised deletion of uploaded data.
