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.

Arbitrary code execution and Claude Code CLI: How Claude executed code before you click 'trust' | Sonar

Malicious .git/config files can trigger arbitrary code execution in AI coding agents before any trust prompt or model call. Sonar researchers found Claude Code CLI could be compromised (patched in v2.0.71 / Dec 16, 2025) by cloning an untrusted repo, and CVE-2026-72718 shows the goose AI agent's 'goose review' command runs git with attacker-controlled config (core.fsmonitor), executing commands during 'git diff HEAD' — fixed in goose 1.44.0. Attacks bypass the tool-permission model and allow exfiltration of environment secrets and API keys. Details →

Hugging Face Diffusers Flaws Could Let Model Repositories Execute Arbitrary Code

Zafran Labs disclosed three high-severity flaws, collectively named FaceHugger, in Hugging Face's Diffusers library (CVE-2026-44827 CVSS 8.8, CVE-2026-45804 CVSS 7.5, and CVE-2026-44513 CVSS 8.8) that let a malicious model repository silently execute arbitrary code on any machine loading it. The flaws stem from a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use race that bypasses the trust_remote_code safeguard by splitting a model download into two non-atomic HTTP requests, so a routine model load becomes an initial-access vector across CI/CD, container, and production pipelines.

The Hidden Risks of Downloading and Running Open-Source LLMs Locally: Model Formats, Supply-Chain Attacks, and EDR Blind Spots

A Barhum.ai report maps the security attack surface of running open-source LLMs locally, arguing model files are executable artifacts: Python pickle formats (.pt/.pth/.bin) permit arbitrary code execution by design, PickleScan has been bypassed by zero-day vulnerabilities, and inference engines like Ollama have accumulated multiple critical CVEs. It notes CVE-2025-32434 (CVSS 9.3) showed torch.load() with weights_only=True was still exploitable, and highlights that EDR tools are architecturally blind to model-layer threats. Details →
