The Amazon Q Developer VS Code Extension (Amazon Q) is a very popular coding agent, with over 1 million downloads. In previous posts we showed how prompt injection vulnerabilities in Amazon Q could lead to: Exfiltration of sensitive information from the user’s machine , and also to a System compromise by running arbitrary code Today we will show how an attack can leverage invisible Unicode Tag characters that humans cannot see.
