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.

(A)I Sees What You Don't: Exploiting New Attack Surfaces in Third-Party Mobile Agents

Researchers from Simon Fraser University, CUHK, Shandong University, and QAX's Xingtu Lab (arXiv:2607.00333) demonstrated seven concrete attacks against five open-source mobile AI agent frameworks—AppAgent, AppAgentX, Mobile-Agent-v3, Open-AutoGLM, and MobA—exploiting new attack surfaces in VLM-driven mobile agents. A malicious Android app with no special permissions can inject subliminal, human-invisible on-screen text that the agent's vision model reads, hijacking agent actions and chaining to arbitrary command execution on the host PC driving the agent. Each framework fell to at least six of the seven attacks; the authors report no evidence of the techniques being used outside a controlled setting and no CVEs are assigned. Details →
