CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
CISA added three actively exploited vulnerabilities to its KEV catalog, covering ownCloud, the Linux kernel, and JFrog Artifactory. Federal agencies must remediate them on required timelines, and private organizations should treat them as high-priority exposure checks.
Why it matters: Use the KEV update to drive immediate asset discovery, patch status review, and compensating controls for internet-facing or high-value systems.

Amazon Kiro Prompt Injection Can Exfiltrate Sensitive Data Through Kiro Powers
Researchers reported a prompt-injection weakness in Amazon Kiro that could allow sensitive data exposure through AI-powered IDE capabilities. The case shows how agentic developer tools can expand the blast radius of untrusted instructions.
Why it matters: Security teams should evaluate AI coding tools for data access boundaries, workspace permissions, prompt-injection resilience, and logging of agent actions.
