Title
Kiro IDE Allows Agentic Writes to Global Configurations While Working in Untrusted Workspaces
Summary
The file write tool in Amazon Kiro IDE versions before 1.0.242 might allow remote unauthenticated actors to inject crafted instructions into the agent's context. When a user runs the agent in a crafted repository as an untrusted workspace, sending any message can cause agent modifications to auto-loaded global configuration paths.
We recommend you upgrade to Kiro IDE version 1.0.242 or later. Users who ran the agent in an untrusted workspace on an earlier version should also review the global Kiro configuration directory (~/.kiro) for entries they did not create.

Title
Executable Resolution from Untrusted Project Directory in Kiro IDE on Windows
Summary
An uncontrolled search path element in Kiro IDE before version 1.0.228 on Windows might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted project directory containing an executable that bypasses workspace trust protections when a local user opens the directory.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.0.228 or higher.

Executable Resolution from Untrusted Project Directory in Kiro IDE on Windows
Summary
An uncontrolled search path element in Kiro IDE before version 1.0.228 on Windows might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted project directory containing an executable that bypasses workspace trust protections when a local user opens the directory.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.0.228 or higher.
