Amazon Kiro Prompt Injection Can Exfiltrate Sensitive Data Through Kiro Powers
Mindgard found a prompt injection flaw in Amazon Kiro IDE letting attacker-controlled workspace files exfiltrate sensitive local data; fixed in version 0.8.140.
Mindgard disclosed a prompt injection flaw in Amazon Kiro, an agentic AI IDE, that lets attacker-controlled repository content steer the agent into exfiltrating sensitive workspace data through Kiro Powers, which bundles MCP server configurations, POWER.md steering files, hooks, and contextual knowledge. Exploitation requires the user to open a malicious project via a workspace file and send any message to the agent; difficulty is rated low and it works in both trusted and untrusted workspaces. Amazon fixed the issue in Kiro IDE 0.8.140; the flaw has no CVE identifier and follows earlier Kiro bugs including CVE-2026-10591, plus related prompt-injection and code-execution issues in Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and Claude Code.

Real-SWE: Benchmarking AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases
Real-SWE benchmark tests coding agents on licensed private enterprise codebases; top model Fable 5.1 resolves only 38.8% of tasks.
Real-SWE is a new benchmark evaluating frontier AI coding agents on tasks drawn from private production codebases licensed from real companies, spanning billing, tax calculation, and cross-service migrations. Fable 5.1 with Claude Code leads at 38.8% resolution rate (pass@1 over eight runs), followed by GPT-6 Astra Codex CLI at 33.8% and Gemini 3.8 Flash Gemini CLI at 31.2%. Tasks use native harnesses and realistic tooling including Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Linear; median reference solutions edit 11 files versus 6 for DeepSWE and FrontierCode.

Autonomous AI Agents Compromise Thousands of Credentials in Under Six Hours
Google's GTIG reports threat actors using autonomous AI agents, credential stealers, and LLMs to steal AI models, API credentials, and harvest thousands of credentials.
Google Threat Intelligence Group says attackers are targeting proprietary AI models across healthcare, government, and media, exfiltrating API credentials, and co-opting victim cloud environments to run unauthorized AI workloads. TeamPCP (Altered Spider/UNC6780) is conducting supply chain compromises of PyPI, npm, and Docker Hub, deploying the SANDCLOCK and DUSTMAKER credential stealers, with DUSTMAKER using AI workspace poisoning and prompt injection for defense evasion. One financially motivated actor used an autonomous multi-agent framework to compromise thousands of third-party credentials in under six hours without human intervention. China-nexus groups UNC6508 and Basin Castle (Mustang Panda) used local open-weight LLMs and commercial LLMs like Gemini, Claude, and Codex for espionage tasks and evading provider monitoring.

Google Open-Sources Mantis: A Modular Skills Toolkit That Lets Coding Agents Find, Reproduce and Patch Vulnerabilities
Google open-sourced Mantis, an Apache-2.0 modular skills toolkit that lets AI coding agents find, reproduce, and patch vulnerabilities with sandboxed verification.
Google released Mantis on GitHub under Apache 2.0 as a stack-agnostic set of slash-command skills that chain through the full vulnerability lifecycle: mining version history, building threat models, filtering findings, reproducing bugs in gVisor or network-disabled VMs, assembling exploit chains, patching, and scoring residual risk from 1 to 10. It runs with Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, the Google ADK, or comparable agent frameworks, and a supervisor skill (/mantis-meta-agent) can drive the whole loop. Google says the design targets the sub-7 percent true-positive rate of naive AI code scanning, and that its hierarchical summary tree cuts token overhead by over 85 percent. The toolkit is deployable for local and internal evaluation but not yet recommended for production.

HOL Guard: Open-source antivirus for AI agents
HOL Guard is an open-source local guardrail that pauses AI coding agents before risky actions like secret access and prompt injection.
HOL Guard sits between AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and others) and the host machine, intercepting risky commands before execution with checks taking under 50 milliseconds and running fully offline. It offers four sensitivity modes — Gentle, Balanced (default), Strict, and Paranoid — and parses command structure, environment, sensitive-path access and network destinations to decide when to interrupt. The core runtime is free and open source on GitHub, with 552,000 downloads reported; the vendor says it has no telemetry on adoption because collection is off by default.

Dr. Claw: An AI Scientist Workspace for Vibe Research
Researchers release Dr. Claw, an open-source auditable workspace that wraps coding agents like Claude Code for end-to-end AI-assisted research workflows.
Paper 2609.00365 presents Dr. Claw, an open-source workspace that wraps existing coding-agent executors such as Claude Code and Gemini CLI in a controllable, human-in-the-loop research workflow. It uses persistent state objects, a reusable skill library, and multi-executor coordination to make research decisions auditable and recoverable, rather than adding another autonomous agent. Holding the executor fixed, Dr. Claw scores higher on research completeness than a bare command-line agent while preserving an auditable process trail. The code is released under AGPL-3.0 on GitHub (OpenLAIR/dr-claw).
