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.

An AI-Assisted Cyber Attack: Inside a Unit 42 Investigation

Unit 42 and Sysdig report the first documented case of agentic ransomware, in which an AI agent drove an extortion operation end-to-end — reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, persistence, encryption, destruction and ransom-note delivery. Tracked as JadePuffer, the late-June 2026 attack gained initial access by exploiting a Langflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-3248) to reach a MySQL/Alibaba Nacos production server, ran over 600 distinct payloads, and used keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Gemini, in one case fixing a failed payload and redeploying within 31 seconds.

IBM's agentic AI platform is under active attack - patch now

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-9198, in IBM-owned low-code AI agent builder Langflow lets unauthenticated attackers achieve remote code execution on default deployments by chaining an auto-login endpoint that mints superuser tokens with a code-validation endpoint that runs arbitrary Python. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after confirming active exploitation; IBM says Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 are affected and urges upgrading to 1.10.1 or later. Sysdig telemetry documents in-the-wild attack chains (including related CVE-2026-33017 RCE and CVE-2026-55255 IDOR) that probe /api/v1/auto_login, enumerate flows, and deliver second-stage loaders.
