Executive Summary
Unit 42 researchers have identified new attack surfaces and prompt injection vulnerabilities in Amazon Bedrock's multi-agent AI systems. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to manipulate AI agents through crafted inputs, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, manipulated responses, or system compromise. The research highlights risks inherent in multi-agent AI architectures where inter-agent communication can be exploited. Organizations deploying multi-agent AI applications should implement robust input validation, least privilege principles, output sanitization, and continuous monitoring to mitigate these emerging threats. This research underscores the evolving threat landscape for AI applications as adversaries develop novel exploitation techniques targeting AI system interactions.
