Bulletin ID: 2026-154-AWS
Publication Date: 10/28/2026 12:30 PM PDT
Description:
We identified CVE-2026-115415, an issue where the environment tool accepted a masking parameter from the large language model (LLM) through its tool schema. A crafted prompt, delivered through content the agent is asked to process, could instruct the model to call the tool with masking turned off. The tool would then return the agent host's environment variables in cleartext, including cloud credentials and API keys, without prompting the operator for consent.
Impacted versions: >= 0.1.0 AND < 0.8.6
