Why: If you or your team use Amazon Kiro, update to 1.0.337 immediately and stop opening workspace files from untrusted repos via File → Open Workspace From File. The attack chain is notable because it requires no crafted prompt—just opening the workspace and sending any message triggers exfiltration through Kiro Powers' MCP server configs and steering files. security prompt-injection agentic-ide amazon-kiro data-exfiltration
