Zenity discloses AWS Bedrock AgentCore vulnerability chain
Security company Zenity Labs discloses a vulnerability chain in the AWS Bedrock AgentCore platform, named AgentCorruption. The researchers say that with only chat access to a public Agent, a single prompt can make an Agent deployed via AgentCore access the instance metadata service (IMDS) at internal address 169.254.169.254, thereby obtaining sensitive data such as execution role temporary credentials, instance ID, and configuration, and further take over all AgentCore Agents in the same AWS account and region, reading private conversations, source code, and stored credentials. Zenity Labs Director of Security Research Tamir Ishay Sharbat disclosed this fixed flaw at SecTor 2026.
