AWS Kiro: Arbitrary Code Execution via Indirect Prompt Injection

Researchers disclosed a vulnerability in AWS Kiro, an agentic IDE, where hidden instructions planted in a web page or source file (indirect prompt injection) can make Kiro rewrite its 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 without any approval prompt. Because Kiro can write to these files without user consent, the human-in-the-loop approval boundary is bypassed entirely. Amazon issued CVE-2026-10591 and the flaw is now fixed.

AI Sandbox Requirements for Code Interpreter Agents

Sandbox Review's analysis surveys the attack surface of code-interpreter AI agents, covering prompt injection into processed content, malicious MCP tools that inherit agent permissions, the late-2025 npm supply-chain campaign (including the Cline VS Code extension compromise), Pillar Security's mid-2026 'indirect sandbox escape' disclosures against Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and Antigravity, and the CIRCLE benchmark of 1,260 resource-exhaustion prompts. The piece synthesizes these existing findings to argue that sandboxes must enforce unconditional limits and treat any agent-writable input a host later trusts as part of the blast radius. Details →

Multi-Agent AI Security: 5 Compositional Risks and Fixes [2026]

An analysis piece on multi-agent AI security surveys compositional risks in agentic deployments — control-plane and orchestration-layer compromise, non-human identity gaps, credential persistence and scope creep, MCP server exposure, and static-permission failures — and proposes fixes like just-in-time least privilege and verification gates. The related arXiv paper systematically characterizes 193 MAS threat items across nine categories and evaluates 16 AI security frameworks, finding none achieves majority coverage of any single category and that Non-Determinism and Data Leakage are the most under-addressed.

Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities

OpenAI announced it is pausing some internal activities involving its upcoming model Astra after internal evaluations found significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity, concluding it cannot rule out 'Critical' cyber capability under its Preparedness Framework. In response, OpenAI is implementing stricter controls—isolated testing environments, restricted network/tool access, enhanced weight protections, sandboxed execution, and universal monitoring for risky actions and misalignment. The Critical threshold includes a model that can identify and develop functional zero-day exploits in hardened real-world systems without human intervention. Details →

GitHub - ytkoka/mcp-tester: A web-based tool for inspecting MCP servers. Connect to any MCP server, browse its Tools, Resources, and Prompts, measure fetch latency, estimate token usage, score the quality of tool definitions, and compare two servers side by side, and scan for tool poisoning and rug pulls.

mcp-tester is an open-source web-based tool by ytkoka for inspecting MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers: it connects to any MCP server, browses Tools, Resources, and Prompts, measures fetch latency, estimates token usage, scores tool-definition quality, compares two servers, and scans for tool poisoning and rug pulls. The repository is published on GitHub under an MIT license with a live demo. Details →

Overcoming the Retrieval Barrier: Indirect Prompt Injection in the Wild for LLM Systems

An explainer on RAG prompt injection surveys risks, example vectors, and defenses for enterprise retrieval-augmented generation, describing how attackers poison documents in the knowledge base to hijack model behavior across agents, RAG pipelines, and model routers. It draws on primary research including the arXiv paper 'Overcoming the Retrieval Barrier: Indirect Prompt Injection in the Wild for LLM Systems,' which demonstrates a black-box attack that guarantees retrieval of malicious content and coerces GPT-4o into exfiltrating SSH keys from a single poisoned email with over 80% success.

From SQLi to RCE - Exploiting LangGraph’s Checkpointer - Check Point Research

Check Point researchers Yarden Porat and Shahar Tal disclosed eleven vulnerabilities across six AI agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Microsoft Agent Framework and Google's Agent Development Kit) at Black Hat USA 2026, most being classic bug classes—insecure deserialization, SSRF, path traversal and use-after-free—residing in the runtime rather than the prompt. Two LangGraph checkpointer flaws (SQL injection CVE-2025-67644 and unsafe msgpack deserialization CVE-2026-28277), plus a parallel Redis injection (CVE-2026-27022), chain into remote code execution when applications expose get_state_history() with a user-controlled filter; LangChain patched all three.
