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.

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 →

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. Details →

Amazon Kiro: AI Is Breaking Vulnerability Disclosure Processes

Mindgard disclosed a prompt-injection vulnerability in Amazon Kiro, an AI-powered agentic IDE, that lets attacker-controlled repository content coerce the Kiro agent into reading local sensitive data, modifying a workspace URL, and triggering an outbound request that exfiltrates the secret. The flaw was reproduced in Kiro IDE 0.7.45 on Windows in both trusted and untrusted workspaces via Kiro Powers (MCP configs and POWER.md steering files); exploitation requires the user open a malicious workspace file and message the agent, and is assessed as low difficulty.

Red Agent Exploits Snowflake Vuln Created by Copilot Autofix

Wiz's autonomous AI-powered "Red Agent" discovered and exploited a script injection vulnerability in Snowflake's snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net GitHub Actions workflow, where opening a GitHub issue with a crafted title allowed an unauthenticated user to run arbitrary commands in the runner and exfiltrate Jira credentials. The flaw was inadvertently introduced days earlier by GitHub Copilot Autofix, which stripped a sanitized input pattern in favor of direct string interpolation; Snowflake patched it the same day it was reported (June 23, 2026) via its HackerOne program and rotated the exposed token.

SearchLeak: How We Turned M365 Copilot Into a One-Click Data Exfiltration Weapon

SearchLeak (CVE-2026-42824) is a critical three-stage vulnerability chain in Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise discovered by Varonis Threat Labs that lets an attacker steal MFA codes, emails, meeting details, and organizational files with a single click on a trusted microsoft.com link. It chains a Parameter-to-Prompt (P2P) injection via the search q parameter with an HTML rendering race condition and a CSP bypass through Bing's allowlisted image-search SSRF endpoint to silently exfiltrate a victim's mailbox, calendar, SharePoint, and OneDrive data. Microsoft remediated the flaw and rated it critical. Details →
