Amazon Q Developer: Secrets Leaked via DNS and Prompt Injection
The next three posts will cover high severity vulnerabilities in the Amazon Q Developer VS Code Extension (Amazon Q Developer), which is a very popular coding agent, with over 1 million downloads. It is vulnerable to prompt injection from untrusted data and its security depends heavily on model behavior. At a high level Amazon Q Developer can leak sensitive information from a developer’s machine, e.g. API keys, to external servers via DNS requests. An adversary can also exploit this behavior during an indirect prompt injection attack.
