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

NVD-CVE-2026-75130
CVE-2026-75130 is a prompt injection vulnerability in Context7 through version 2.1.2, where its Custom AI Instructions feature served via the MCP server passes unsanitized content to connected AI coding agents. Attackers can poison the custom instructions to exfiltrate credentials from environment files to an attacker-controlled service and trigger destructive file deletion when an agent makes a routine library documentation request.

Critical remote code execution in Serena, a popular MCP coding agent - Community - GitLab Forum
GitLab's Threat Research Group disclosed a critical template injection vulnerability in Serena, a popular MCP coding agent, that executes attacker-controlled code the moment a developer opens a malicious repository. The flaw turns routine repo browsing into remote code execution via the agent's handling of untrusted input. Details →First reported nist.gov
NVD - CVE-2026-44192
CVE-2026-44192 is a path-traversal flaw in the Ansible Lightspeed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets an attacker manipulate an AI agent via indirect prompt injection to write files to unauthorized locations. Red Hat rates it CVSS 3.1 base 6.6 (Medium), and successful exploitation can expose sensitive host information and enable malicious command execution leading to full system compromise.

Internal System Prompt leaking to the user- Cursor CLI - Support / Bug Reports - Cursor - Community Forum
A Cursor Community Forum bug report from user Agrim_Sharma describes the Cursor CLI accidentally leaking its internal system prompt, including internal tags, to the user. The disclosure reportedly occurred after a prompt initially failed due to networking issues and was re-triggered once connectivity was restored. Details →First reported nist.gov
NVD - cve-2024-5184
CVE-2024-5184 is a prompt injection vulnerability in the EmailGPT service, whose API allows a malicious user to inject a direct prompt and take over the service logic. Attackers can force the AI service to leak hard-coded system prompts or execute unwanted prompts, and the flaw can be exploited by anyone with access to the service (CVSS 3.x base 9.1 CRITICAL per NIST).

Data Exfiltration from Slack AI via indirect prompt injection
PromptArmor identified an indirect prompt injection vulnerability in Slack AI, a RAG-style chat search interface, where an attacker seeds poisoned tokens into a public channel or an imported document. When a user later queries Slack AI, the injected instructions cause private data (e.g. an API key from a private channel) to be embedded into a malicious Markdown link that exfiltrates the secret to the attacker's server when clicked.

HalluSquatting attack exploits AI hallucinations to spread malware
The HalluSquatting attack exploits AI hallucinations by registering package or software names that large language models invent when suggesting dependencies, so developers who trust AI-recommended names end up installing attacker-controlled malware. The technique weaponizes the tendency of LLMs to hallucinate plausible-sounding but nonexistent package names. Details →First reported huntress.com
New BioShocking attack manipulates AI browser into data theft
A new prompt injection attack dubbed 'BioShocking' reportedly tricks AI-powered browsers into treating risky real-world actions as part of a fictional scenario, bypassing safety guardrails and enabling data theft. Details →First reported wiz.io
Amazon Q VS Extension Flaw Leads to Cloud Credential Theft
A vulnerability in the Amazon Q Visual Studio extension could let adversaries plant a malicious repository that executes arbitrary code and steals cloud credentials, highlighting growing MCP-related risk. Details →How the wire is made
