"The version of Amazon Kiro IDE installed on the remote Windows host is 1.0.x prior to 1.0.228. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability.
- 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.
(CVE-2026-18656)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
