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.

How the wire is made

Poll & cluster

Internet is crawled for AI security news and near-duplicate coverage is embedded and grouped into durable items.

Curate

AI Agent filters for agentic-AI relevance, classifies and tags each item, scores severity for threats, and writes the summary.
