Description:

Kiro IDE is an agentic development environment that makes it easy for developers to ship real engineering work with the help of AI agents.

We identified CVE-2026-11931, where incorrect default permissions in Kiro IDE on macOS and Linux before version 0.11.133 could expose the authentication token cache file to other local users or processes via world-readable permissions (0644) instead of owner-restricted permissions (0600).

Impacted versions: < 0.11.133

Resolution:

This issue has been addressed in Kiro IDE version 0.11.133. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
