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

MCP's Broken Trust Model: Tool Poisoning, Rug Pulls, and the New Threat Landscape
An analysis of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) trust model describes how tool poisoning (malicious instructions embedded in tool metadata), rug pulls (tools that change behavior after approval), and weak authorization create new attack paths for AI agents. The piece synthesizes NSA MCP security guidance and academic threat modeling (STRIDE/DREAD analysis of MCP clients) showing most clients insufficiently validate tool metadata and permit approved agents to reach sensitive resources without re-review.

Malicious LiteLLM Releases Tied to Trivy Hack May Have Exposed 2,100+ Organizations
TeamPCP compromised the GitHub Actions pipeline of the Trivy scanner used in LiteLLM's CI/CD, stole LiteLLM's PyPI publishing tokens, and published malicious LiteLLM packages (versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8) whose .pth startup-hook payload harvested AI provider credentials, cloud keys, and CI/CD secrets, attempted Kubernetes lateral movement, and installed a systemd backdoor. Hudson Rock obtained a 153GB exfiltration archive attributing 118,829 CI runner dumps to 2,488 corporate domains, and the campaign chains with additional critical LiteLLM CVEs (CVE-2026-33634, CVE-2026-42208, CVE-2026-42271, CVE-2026-48710, CVE-2026-59822), with CVE-2026-42271 added to CISA's KEV catalog.

How AI Agents Get Impersonated (and How to Stop It)
ZITADEL's explainer on AI agent impersonation walks through six ways an agent's identity can be exploited—credential theft, fake agent registration via OAuth Dynamic Client Registration, and others—and the mitigations that close each. It cites GitGuardian data on nearly 29 million hardcoded secrets and 24,008 unique secrets in MCP-related config files on public GitHub in 2025, and points to MCP's November 2025 authorization update favoring Client ID Metadata Documents over DCR.

How MCP Servers Can Expose Enterprise Secrets
An explainer on Model Context Protocol (MCP) security describes how ungoverned MCP servers expand the enterprise attack surface, cataloging five vectors — confused deputy, token passthrough, tool poisoning, SSRF via tool connectors, and rogue server registration — and noting MCP grants LLM runtimes ambient authority across multi-hop trust chains that identity and perimeter controls miss. The piece frames shadow AI and pre-production MCP deployments bypassing security review as the core governance gap, referencing the September 2025 Postmark malicious MCP server incident and control domains like OAuth 2.1 token exchange and server attestation.

Deadbugz: Currently Active MCP Supply-Chain Campaign
The "Deadbugz" campaign is an active MCP supply-chain operation in which malicious Model Context Protocol servers (such as the zellkernel/productivity-suite-mcp package) embed hidden instructions in tool metadata to hijack trusted tools connected to an AI agent, enabling data exfiltration like reading .env files or SSH keys.

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.

ContextLeak: Exfiltrating LLM Agent Context via Malicious Tools
ContextLeak is a malicious-tool attack developed by researchers at Duke and Stanford that induces an LLM agent to both select an attacker-published tool and disclose its runtime context (user prompt, conversation history, tool list) as tool input arguments for exfiltration. The attack crafts the tool's name and description using a reinforcement-learning-fine-tuned attack LLM with novel reward functions, and is shown to generalize across victims whose contexts differ from the shadow-user training data.

The lethal trifecta for AI agents: private data, untrusted content, and external communication
An explainer on stopping prompt injection in MCP servers frames the problem as the 'lethal trifecta' (private-data access, exposure to untrusted content, and external communication) coined by Simon Willison, using the Invariant Labs demonstration against GitHub's official MCP server as its central case. In that attack a malicious GitHub issue embedded agent-directed instructions that caused a coding agent to leak private repo details into a public pull request, with no exploited code or CVE. The piece argues the fix is architectural rather than prompt-based. Details →First reported nhimg.org
AI agent risk frameworks: is the rule of two already broken?
An NHIMG editorial, based on Noma Security's analysis, argues that the 'Rule of Two' agent risk framework breaks down in real deployments because two-of-three conditions (capability, autonomy, privilege) can still yield destructive outcomes such as prompt injection in developer tools or autonomous agents deleting production data.

Beyond the Mandate: A Systematic Security Analysis of the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2)
Researchers from Ben-Gurion University and Intuit present a systematic security analysis of Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) v0.2, which lets LLM-driven shopping agents authorize and execute payments. Using the MAESTRO framework they model threat actors, attack surfaces, and adversary capabilities, cataloging 48 threats across five attack families, scoring them with AIVSS, building a testbed across five deployment architectures, and developing proof-of-concept demonstrations for eight High-risk threats plus a deployment-aware scanner. Their key finding: valid mandate signatures alone do not guarantee an agent-mediated transaction reflects user intent when pre-authorization context (A2A messages, MCP tool calls) is manipulated.
