Zenity Labs reported that a chat prompt to one publicly accessible agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore could expose credentials and take over every AgentCore agent in the same AWS account and region.
The researchers said the agent queried the internal metadata service and sent its temporary credentials to an external server, while AgentCore's default permissions applied across all agents.
AWS reportedly made IMDSv2 the default for new deployments and changed the default execution role around August.
