Target

AWS Bedrock AgentCore starter toolkit

Impact

Default IAM roles auto-created by the toolkit scope permissions to wildcard, letting any agent read or poison memory belonging to every other agent in the AWS account; enables privilege escalation and cross-tenant data exfiltration

Root cause

Starter toolkit auto-create logic issues IAM policies with GetMemory and RetrieveMemoryRecords on resource "*" instead of per-resource scoping
