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.indirect-prompt-injection · tool-abuse · remote-code-execution · supply-chain

Fake Bug Report Hijacks AI Coding Agents at Scale
Tenet Security demonstrated "agentjacking," an indirect prompt-injection technique where a single fake error report planted in a public bug-tracking service (Sentry) causes AI coding agents to retrieve the poisoned data and execute attacker-controlled code on a developer's machine. In controlled testing, widely used assistants including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex ran the injected code, which in a real attack could steal AWS keys, GitHub tokens, SSH keys, and CI/CD secrets.

Microsoft Azure DevOps MCP Flaw Lets Hidden PR Comments Hijack AI Review Agents
Manifold Security disclosed a confused-deputy flaw in Microsoft's official Azure DevOps MCP server where a tool returning pull request descriptions lacked the prompt-injection guardrail applied to other tools, letting a hidden PR comment inject instructions into a reviewer's AI coding agent. The agent then acts with the user's own permissions, reaching projects the attacker cannot access and quietly exfiltrating what it finds; Microsoft addressed it in a fix (v2.8.0).

AI Browser Agents: 6 Enterprise Security Risks (2026)
An analysis of enterprise security risks from AI browser agents argues that indirect prompt injection lets attackers hide malicious instructions inside content an agent consumes, turning the agent's autonomy—acting under a user's identity with access to mail, documents, and connected services—into a data-exfiltration and unauthorized-action risk. The piece frames agentic browsers as a new trust boundary that IAM, PAM, and NHI programs must govern, citing Noma Security's analysis. Details →First reported medium.com
AutoJack: The New Vulnerability Class Letting a Single Webpage Hijack Your AI Agent | by Raj Namdev | CodeToDeploy

Atlassian Rovo Can Be Tricked Into Sending Jira and Confluence Data to Attackers
A vulnerability (CVE-2026-50522) in Atlassian Rovo, the default AI assistant across Confluence and Jira, allowed a single crafted URL to preload an arbitrary prompt into a victim's Rovo chat via the rovoChatPrompt query parameter. When an authenticated user opened the link, Rovo executed the embedded instructions with the victim's privileges, using task-framed language and an image-fetch trick to exfiltrate Confluence pages, secrets, and connected-surface data (Jira, SharePoint, Outlook) to an attacker host.

A research paper, "Just Testing, Move Along: Evasion of LLM-based System Log Interpretation by Prompt Injection" (arXiv:2607.24174) by Landauer et al., presents a framework for crafting adversarial log entries that inject instructions into system logs processed by LLMs in SOC workflows.

Agentjacking exposes a broken trust model in AI coding agents
