Amazon patches Kiro IDE prompt-injection data-exfiltration flaw

Amazon patches Kiro IDE prompt-injection data-exfiltration flaw Image: Primary
Amazon implemented a fix in Kiro IDE version 0.8.140 for a prompt-injection flaw that could cause sensitive local information to be sent to an external endpoint, according to researchers cited by The Hacker News. The issue affected Kiro IDE 0.7.45 on Windows. Exploitation required a user to open a malicious project through a workspace file and then send a message to the agent. Researchers said the flow could work in both trusted and untrusted workspaces.
