Quoting Terk Terkowitz is a 28 October 2026 post on Simon Willison's blog. It quotes an Amazon engineering leadership update on the developer's role in the age of AI. The quote says that if AI tooling does not help an engineer's work, that is a finding to document and share with peers and managers, and explaining where AI does not help shows the judgement Amazon wants. The post gives only the quote, not the full memo.

AWS Security Blog walkthrough showing how to build identity-aware AI data agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore that propagate a real user's OIDC id_token through the agent's tool-calling chain (Runtime → MCP Gateway → Lambda) via HTTP headers, keeping the token out of the foundation model's context entirely. A Lambda function performs a server-side token exchange using IAM Identity Center Trusted Identity Propagation, assumes a scoped TIP role, and runs the user's Athena query so AWS Lake Formation evaluates the real user's grants, producing per-user row/column access and CloudTrail audit records naming the actual human (onBehalfOf) without rewriting existing governance policies.

AWS Security Blog walkthrough of an identity-aware AI data agent pattern that propagates a real user's OIDC id_token through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime and Gateway into a Lambda target, which exchanges it server-side (via IAM Identity Center trusted identity propagation) for Lake Formation-scoped Athena credentials. The design deliberately keeps the id_token off the tool schema and inside HTTP headers only, so the foundation model never sees or handles the user's credential, and CloudTrail records the real human via an onBehalfOf AssumeRole entry, letting existing Lake Formation grants govern AI agent queries without rewriting authorization logic in application code. It details the three AgentCore configuration gates (runtime header allowlist, gateway metadataConfiguration.allowedRequestHeaders, Lambda's bedrockAgentCorePropagatedHeaders) that enforce this separation.

The authors identify that scaling gains saturate due to data-intake bandwidth limits of a fixed-width quantum register, not circuit expressiveness, and introduce the "wing module" — a few-qubit sparse coupling circuit that feeds additional information into a fixed 12-qubit core, raising balanced accuracy from 83.6% (no wings) to 85.2% (two wings, 19 qubits total). Ablations confirm gains come specifically from added information bandwidth, not merely added qubits/parameters.

It walks through Wiz Research's "GhostApproval" report, which found that six AI coding agents (Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Augment, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf) can be prompt-injected via README instructions into following such a symlink and writing attacker SSH keys or shell-config payloads before the user ever sees an accurate confirmation dialog (CWE-451, UI misrepresentation). It also recaps prior symlink-driven CVEs (tar npm package CVE-2021-32803, Leaky Vessels CVE-2024-21626, Git submodule CVE-2024-32002) and gives concrete mitigations: canonicalize-then-check-boundary atomically (e.g. openat2 with RESOLVE_BENEATH), show real resolved targets in approval dialogs, and audit repos with `find . -type l` or `git ls-files -s` before trusting them.

Wiz Research discloses GhostApproval, a symlink-following vulnerability (CWE-61) found in six AI coding assistants — Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Augment, Cursor, Google Antigravity, and Windsurf — where a malicious repo containing a symlink disguised as a config file tricks the agent into reading/writing sensitive files like ~/.ssh/authorized_keys outside the workspace sandbox. In several tools the agent's internal reasoning correctly identifies the true target file, but the confirmation dialog shown to the user still displays the fake filename (CWE-451, UI misrepresentation), turning human-in-the-loop approval into a rubber stamp; some tools (Amazon Q, Windsurf) even write to disk before the approval prompt appears. AWS (CVE-2026-12958), Google, and Cursor (CVE-2026-50549) shipped fixes; Anthropic initially rejected it as outside threat model before later shipping a symlink warning, Augment acknowledged but hasn't patched, and Windsurf has not responded.

Wiz Research found that the Amazon Q Developer VS Code extension auto-loaded and executed MCP server configs from .amazonq/mcp.json in a workspace with no consent prompt or workspace-trust check, and spawned those processes with full environment inheritance. Opening a malicious repository (e.g. a malicious PR, typosquatted package, or fake "coding test" per known DPRK social-engineering tactics) could therefore trigger arbitrary code execution and theft of the developer's AWS credentials, demonstrated by capturing aws sts get-caller-identity output. Amazon remediated the issue in language server version 1.65.0, adding a consent prompt before loading workspace MCP servers.

AWS Security Blog post translating lessons from the Shai-Hulud, Chalk/Debug, tea.xyz, and axios npm supply chain attacks into concrete AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar recommendations for package consumers. It covers eliminating long-lived credentials (aws login, IAM Identity Center, OIDC), defense-in-depth artifact signing with AWS Signer and ECR managed signing, centralizing dependencies via AWS CodeArtifact package groups to block typosquatting, npm provenance attestations via Sigstore, and Amazon Inspector's behavioral detection of zero-day/sleeper malicious packages feeding into the OpenSSF Malicious Packages Repository (MAL-IDs).

OSV, the OpenSSF-backed vulnerability database, withdrew 157 malicious-package reports on May 26 after automated detections from Amazon Inspector incorrectly flagged trusted npm and PyPI packages — including FastAPI, Strawberry GraphQL, and @tanstack/start-storage-context — as malware. The FastAPI record (MAL-2026-4750) claimed the package added a "typosquat-shaped" dependency (fastar) but never identified an actual malicious payload; OpenSSF paused the Amazon Inspector ingestion pipeline after the rollback. Because OSV feeds scanners, SBOM tools, registry controls, and CI/CD gates, the bad records had already propagated and forced maintainers to prove their packages were not compromised.

Orca Security breaks down four GenAI-specific cloud asset classes that standard CSPM misses — training datasets, model artifacts, inference endpoints, and RAG vector databases — and shows how misconfigurations in each combine into full attack paths. It walks through a concrete chain (public S3 training bucket → data poisoning per MITRE ATLAS AML.T0020 → stolen SageMaker execution-role credentials via missing IMDSv2 → account-wide S3 read via overprivileged AmazonSageMakerFullAccess) and analyzes CVE-2024-34359 in Hugging Face's safetensors library as a storage-to-RCE path for SageMaker inference. It closes with concrete IAM/endpoint hardening steps and a pitch for Orca's attack-path correlation across role permissions, data sensitivity, and endpoint exposure.

A collection of drop-in instruction/config files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .aiignore, etc.) that give AI coding agents a shared security and privacy playbook: never read .env or secrets files, no hardcoded credentials, OWASP hygiene, PII protection, GDPR support, restricted filesystem/network access, no destructive commands without confirmation, mandatory tests, and dependency/CI change controls including typosquatting checks before adding packages. Each tool-specific file (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Amazon Q, Junie, Devin, Cody) delegates to one canonical AGENTS.md so teams maintain a single source of truth across all agents in use.

Xint/Theori researchers detail CVE-2026-31431 ('Copy Fail'), a Linux kernel logic bug where the authencesn AEAD crypto template writes 4 attacker-controlled bytes past its output buffer, and AF_ALG's 2017 in-place optimization chains page-cache pages from splice() into that writable scatterlist. This lets an unprivileged local user corrupt the in-memory page cache of any readable file (e.g. /usr/bin/su) without touching disk, yielding a race-free, portable root exploit in a 732-byte Python script across Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, RHEL and SUSE. The post traces the bug's origin across 2011/2015/2017 kernel commits, walks through the exploit and the out-of-place fix, and notes the flaw was found via an AI-assisted scan (Xint Code) guided by researcher Taeyang Lee.
