Wiz Research disclosed that Amazon Q Developer auto-launched MCP servers defined in a repo's .amazonq/mcp.json, so a single config file in a cloned repo could execute code with your live AWS keys, cloud CLI tokens, and SSH agent attached. Reported April 20, fixed May 12, public writeup June 26. No known exploitation, but it's a textbook "repo config equals code execution" failure. The defense is concrete: treat any MCP config shipped inside a repo as untrusted code, disable auto-start of repo-defined servers, require explicit approval before spawning them.
