Kiro IDE versions prior to 1.0.228 on Windows are vulnerable to an uncontrolled search path element that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code through a malicious project directory. This vulnerability can bypass workspace trust protections when a local user opens the compromised directory, posing a significant risk to system integrity. Organizations using Kiro IDE should prioritize upgrading to version 1.0.228 or higher to mitigate this high-severity threat.

Original NVD Description

An uncontrolled search path element in Kiro IDE before version 1.0.228 on Windows might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted project directory containing an executable that bypasses workspace trust protections when a local user opens the directory. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.0.228 or higher.
