Description

Amazon Kiro IDE Data Exfiltration via Filename Prompt Injection and Kiro Powers Registry Fetching

Details

The Amazon Kiro IDE is vulnerable to a data exfiltration issue that can be exploited through a prompt injection and abuse of the Kiro Powers features. By crafting a repository containing a directory with prompt injection instructions in its name, an attacker can coerce the application to visit an attacker controlled website while submitting sensitive local file contents.
