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.indirect-prompt-injection · prompt-injection · remote-code-execution · tool-abuse · config-poisoning

Top 10 zero-click attacks against AI agents
"Securing Agentic AI: From Per-Action Checks to Trajectory Assurance" argues that per-action approval prompts and human-in-the-loop checks fail against zero-click agent attacks, and advocates monitoring the full agent trajectory instead. Drawing on documented cases such as the EchoLeak (CVE-2025-32711) Microsoft 365 Copilot zero-click exfiltration, the Morris-II self-replicating GenAI worm, and A2A protocol risks, it proposes treating retrieval as untrusted, scoping agent identities, and logging at the agent runtime.

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 →First reported · updated · 5 reports bugcrowd.com
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.

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.

Mitigating Indirect AGENTS.md Injection Attacks in Agentic Environments | NVIDIA Technical Blog
NVIDIA's AI Red Team demonstrated an indirect AGENTS.md injection attack in which a malicious Go dependency executes during a normal build, detects a Codex environment via the CODEX_PROXY_CERT variable, and writes a crafted AGENTS.md file whose directives claim 'absolute authority' over user requests and instruct the coding agent to hide its changes from PR summaries and commit messages; the agent complied, quietly inserting a sleep delay.

GhostApproval: AI Coding Assistant Trust Boundary Flaw
Wiz disclosed GhostApproval, a vulnerability pattern in 6 top AI coding assistants (Amazon Q Developer, Anthropic Claude Code, Augment, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf) where a malicious repository uses a symlink (CWE-61) disguised as an ordinary file so the agent writes attacker-controlled content — such as an SSH key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys — outside the workspace sandbox, potentially achieving RCE. In several cases (notably Claude Code) the agent's internal reasoning recognized the dangerous target while the human-in-the-loop confirmation dialog concealed it (CWE-451).

Fake Bug Report Hijacks AI Coding Agents at Scale
Tenet Security demonstrated at DEF CON 34 an "agentjacking" attack where an attacker POSTs a crafted error event containing markdown-formatted malicious instructions to a publicly exposed Sentry DSN ingest endpoint; when a developer asks an MCP-connected coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code) to debug, the agent retrieves the injected event, treats it as authoritative remediation, and executes commands that pull a malicious npm package and exfiltrate AWS, GitHub, npm, Kubernetes and CI/CD credentials. Controlled testing across 100+ organizations succeeded 85 percent of the time; no CVE was assigned, and Sentry deployed only a payload-string filter.
