AI Summary

Security flaws in the agent infrastructure of Amazon Web Services, Google, and Vercel allow untrusted or forged instructions to reach an agent’s tools without any verification that a model turn authorized them. In several attack paths the model never executes, so system prompts, content filters, and model‑level guardrails are bypassed entirely. The vulnerabilities enable attackers to trigger tools directly, sidestepping the usual safeguards that would normally intervene during a model run.
