Prompt injection attacks can traverse Amazon Bedrock multi-agent hierarchies

Forensic Summary

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.
