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.

What I Learned Reversing Embeddings for OWASP’s GenAI Red Team Lab Subtitle: A merged pull request, a threat model that had to change, and an attack that only sort of worked

A contributor's write-up describes reverse-engineering the embeddings used in the RAG pipeline of OWASP's GenAI Red Team Lab (Issue #29), implementing an embedding inversion attack against vector databases as part of a merged pull request. The author recounts revising the threat model and reports that the attack 'only sort of worked' against the deliberately vulnerable sandbox.

RAG Security Guide: Prevent Enterprise AI Data Leakage

The bdemerson.com guide "RAG Security: Where Retrieval Pipelines Fail" walks through five failure classes in retrieval-augmented generation deployments: poisoned corpora, indirect prompt injection carried in retrieved documents, permission leakage across the index, embedding inversion that reconstructs text from stored vectors, and weak tenant isolation in vector stores. It frames the retrieval pipeline (ingestion, embedding, storage, retrieval, generation) as the real attack surface and offers defensive evaluation habits, referencing research such as the arXiv paper "Pirates of the RAG" on black-box knowledge-base leakage.

LLM08: Vector & Embedding Weaknesses - FireTail blog posts

FireTail's blog explains OWASP LLM08: Vector and Embedding Weaknesses, covering risks such as unauthorized access, cross-context information leaks, embedding inversion attacks, data poisoning, and behavior alteration in RAG systems that use vector databases. The post lists mitigation techniques including access control, data validation, source authentication, and monitoring.
