AI agent incident
Researchers disclosed a prompt injection flaw in Amazon Kiro's agentic IDE, version 0.7.45 on Windows, that could move sensitive data out through the Kiro Powers extension mechanism. No CVE had been assigned at the time of reporting.
It is the second distinct Kiro disclosure in five weeks, and this one turned the agent's own extension capabilities into the exfiltration path.
