Prompt Injection Vulnerability Found in AWS Bedrock AgentCore

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Zenity Labs has demonstrated a critical vulnerability in AWS Bedrock AgentCore, where a single prompt injection could allow an attacker to gain broad access to an account's resources. This exploit could enable an attacker to invoke other agents, access private conversations, alter future agent behavior, and retrieve sensitive keys. While AWS has since implemented fixes, including a hardened default role and migration to IMDSv2, the vulnerability remained exploitable for approximately nine months. AI
