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

What a Distilled Model Inherits From Its Teacher
CTGT researchers studied whether undesired behaviors like Chinese-state censorship transfer from a heavily censored Chinese teacher model into a distilled student model in a finance-focused distillation pipeline. They found the student gained financial-reasoning skill without inheriting the teacher's refusals on China-sensitive prompts, and released model weights, data, and the LineageEval benchmark on Hugging Face and GitHub to measure such lineage effects.

An Inside Look at the Relay Market Powering Token Resellers and Fraud
An investigation by Matt Lenhard (surfaced by Simon Willison) details a Chinese-centered gray market that resells discounted LLM tokens by pooling API keys obtained through abused free trials, proxying through unprotected support bots, stolen credit cards, and chargeback attacks. Resellers use open-source proxy software (one-api and its fork new-api) to load-balance requests across pooled credentials, while buyers seek cheap tokens, evade geo-restrictions, and collect data for model distillation.
