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.indirect-prompt-injection · prompt-injection · remote-code-execution · tool-abuse · config-poisoning

Deadbugz: Currently Active MCP Supply-Chain Campaign
The "Deadbugz" campaign is an active MCP supply-chain operation in which malicious Model Context Protocol servers (such as the zellkernel/productivity-suite-mcp package) embed hidden instructions in tool metadata to hijack trusted tools connected to an AI agent, enabling data exfiltration like reading .env files or SSH keys. The campaign leverages cross-tool poisoning, where one poisoned MCP server can abuse other trusted connectors already wired into the agent, and is tied to a malicious GitHub account and associated threat-actor persona.

CoSnitch: When Your AI Assistant Becomes Its Own Whistleblower
Varonis Threat Labs disclosed CoSnitch (CVE-2026-24301), a critical one-click vulnerability chain in Microsoft Copilot Personal that combines the ?q= URL parameter with an undocumented autorun=1 parameter to auto-execute an attacker-supplied prompt on page load, then queries connected apps (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, OneDrive) and exfiltrates data via encoded URLs, plus indirect prompt injection through web summarization that poisons persistent memory. Researchers used a 'meta-hacking' technique, repeatedly asking Copilot why an attack wouldn't work until the assistant disclosed its own disabled parameters and session conditions. Microsoft shipped patches on August 18, 2026; Varonis reports no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation. Details →First reported · updated · 5 reports bugcrowd.com
Atlassian Rovo Can Be Tricked Into Sending Jira and Confluence Data to Attackers
Researchers at Varonis Threat Labs (RovoBlast) and PromptArmor independently showed that Atlassian's Rovo AI assistant can be manipulated via prompt injection to collect Jira and Confluence data a signed-in user can access and exfiltrate it to an external server. Varonis found that the rovoChatPrompt URL parameter preloads attacker instructions so a single click by an authenticated user triggers execution; PromptArmor hid instructions in an uploaded file that Rovo reads, working even with web-search disabled. Varonis's route was responsibly disclosed and fixed (CVE-2026-50522), while the PromptArmor file-based bypass is single-sourced and its remediation is not confirmed.

Breaking Claude Code Opus 5 Auto Mode
Johann Rehberger (Embrace The Red) demonstrated an indirect prompt injection attack chain that hijacks Claude Code Opus 5 in Auto Mode via a simple 'summarize this website' request, achieving code execution with a 60-80% success rate. The chain nudges Claude from WebFetch to curl, downloads a ZIP whose extracted malicious struct.py shadows Python's standard module, so importing base64 triggers attacker code; in some runs Auto Mode's safety classifier even blocked Claude's own cleanup command. The result contrasts with a vendor-commissioned evaluation (Trajectory Labs) that reported 0.00% attack success for Opus 5 in Auto Mode. Details →First reported dev.to

Mitigating Indirect AGENTS.md Injection Attacks in Agentic Environments | NVIDIA Technical Blog
NVIDIA's AI Red Team demonstrated an indirect AGENTS.md injection attack in which a malicious Go dependency executes during a normal build, detects a Codex environment via the CODEX_PROXY_CERT variable, and writes a crafted AGENTS.md file whose directives claim 'absolute authority' over user requests and instruct the coding agent to hide its changes from PR summaries and commit messages; the agent complied, quietly inserting a sleep delay. Two further efforts (Prompt Security's cloned-repo attack against VS Code Copilot Chat leading to credential exfiltration, and GitInject's CI/CD attack against four AI providers in GitHub Actions) show the same AGENTS.md-as-trusted-instructions mechanism exploited across vectors.

Fake Bug Report Hijacks AI Coding Agents at Scale
Tenet Security demonstrated at DEF CON 34 an "agentjacking" attack where an attacker POSTs a crafted error event containing markdown-formatted malicious instructions to a publicly exposed Sentry DSN ingest endpoint; when a developer asks an MCP-connected coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code) to debug, the agent retrieves the injected event, treats it as authoritative remediation, and executes commands that pull a malicious npm package and exfiltrate AWS, GitHub, npm, Kubernetes and CI/CD credentials. Controlled testing across 100+ organizations succeeded 85 percent of the time; no CVE was assigned, and Sentry deployed only a payload-string filter.
