CVE-2026-18733

A prompt injection vulnerability in the shell tool in Amazon Strands Agents Tools before 0.8.0 might allow remote actors to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the agent's host via a crafted prompt that sets the non_interactive parameter to true, bypassing the human consent gate.
