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.

Slopsquatting: The Supply Chain Attack That Weaponizes AI Hallucinations

An explainer on "slopsquatting," a software supply-chain attack in which attackers register package names that code-generating LLMs hallucinate and recommend, so developers install attacker-controlled packages by faithfully copying an AI assistant's confident but fabricated suggestion. The piece synthesizes the USENIX Security 2025 study "We Have a Package for You!" (arXiv:2406.10279), noting 19.7% of recommended packages did not exist across 576,000 samples and that 43% of hallucinated names reappeared on every re-run, making them reliable targets to register.
