AWS Adds Agentic Observability via OpenSearch Service MCP Apps

FIRST LOOK ATLAS OWASP MEDIUM Moderate risk · Monitor closely ▲ 5.5 AWS Machine Learning Blog

AWS has released agentic observability tooling through Amazon OpenSearch Service MCP Apps, providing structured visibility into the actions, tool invocations, and decision traces of AI agents running on AWS infrastructure. This closes a meaningful gap for defenders who previously lacked native, queryable telemetry over agent behaviour — a prerequisite for detecting anomalous tool use, privilege escalation patterns, and unexpected data access in agentic pipelines. Realising the full defensive value will require mature logging schemas, tuned detection rules, and integration with existing SIEM or SOAR tooling that most organisations are still building.

Amazon Bedrock Prompt Injection Traverses Agent Hierarchies

Amazon Bedrock Prompt Injection Traverses Agent Hierarchies

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 Palo Alto Unit 42

Unit 42 researchers conducted red-team analysis of Amazon Bedrock's multi-agent collaboration framework, demonstrating how attackers can systematically exploit prompt injection to traverse agent hierarchies, extract system instructions, and invoke tools with attacker-controlled inputs. The research reveals that multi-agent architectures introduce compounded attack surfaces through inter-agent communication channels, though no underlying Bedrock vulnerabilities were identified. Properly configured Guardrails and pre-processing stages effectively mitigate the demonstrated attack chains.
