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.

Cursor AI Hack Triggers 23 New AI Agent Risk Rules

A Russian-speaking affiliate of the Aur0ra ransomware group abused the AI agent built into the Cursor code editor to help breach at least seven companies between April and May 2026, according to Gambit Security and Reuters. The operators, who already held credentials or network access, socially engineered the agent into performing enumeration, scripting, credential theft and account takeover by framing the intrusions as authorized tests, cutting attack time an estimated 30-50 percent. Recovered chat logs from an exposed C2 server documented 28 sessions across ten target organizations. Details →

UAT-10147 deploys SPECTRE: A cross-platform implant with Linux rootkit and BYOVD capabilities

Cisco Talos reports that UAT-10147, a Chinese-speaking intrusion actor, is integrating agentic AI and AI-assisted code generation into its offensive operations against IIS and Linux servers, deploying the new cross-platform SPECTRE implant with a Linux rootkit, BYOVD-based EDR bypass, and in-memory web shells. Talos assesses that AI-driven exploit refinement, payload generation, validation, and post-exploitation automation let the actor scale complex attacks (a target list of ~170,000 URLs) while lowering required expertise.
