Bulletin ID: 2026-037-AWS

Content Type: Important (requires attention)
Publication Date: 06/02/2026 08:45 AM PDT
Description:
Kiro is an agentic IDE users install on their desktop. We identified CVE-2026-10591. Insufficient access control restrictions in the file write tool in Kiro IDE prior to version 0.11 might allow remote unauthenticated actors to execute arbitrary commands via crafted instructions that cause writes to execution-sensitive paths (such as .vscode/tasks.json), enabling auto-execution on folder open.
Impacted versions: <0.11
Resolution:
This issue has been addressed in Kiro IDE version 0.11. We recommend upgrading to the latest version.
Workarounds:
No workaround available.
