Kiro is an agentic IDE that users install on their desktop. We identified CVE-2026-95985. The file write tool in Kiro IDE before version 1.0.242 might allow remote unauthenticated actors to execute arbitrary commands and 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.
