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.

Rethinking Jailbreak Detection of Large Vision Language ...

Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis and Texas A&M propose Representational Contrastive Scoring (RCS), a framework for detecting multimodal jailbreak attacks against Large Vision-Language Models by inspecting the models' internal representations. The two instantiations, MCD and KCD, claim state-of-the-art detection performance and better generalization to unseen attack types while reducing over-rejection, with code released on GitHub.

Multimodal AI Jailbreak Attacks: The Image-Based Threat to Enterprise AI

Researchers at Florida International University (Hadi Amini and Md Jueal Mia) developed JaiLIP (Jailbreaking with Loss-guided Image Perturbation), a technique that embeds instructions into images via pixel-level perturbations invisible to humans but readable by vision-language models. Tested against BLIP-2, JaiLIP nearly doubled the rate of policy-violating outputs, and because most enterprise guardrails only inspect the text channel, the malicious payload in the image tensor bypasses safety filters entirely.
