AWS Bedrock AgentCore Execution Role Used Outside Its Runtime
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Data Source: AWS Data Source: AWS CloudTrail Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS Bedrock Data Source: Amazon Bedrock Use Case: Threat Detection Tactic: Privilege Escalation Tactic: Credential Access Resources: Investigation Guide Noise: Low Performance: Fast Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: New Terms Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore execution role (an AssumedRole identity whose role name begins with "AgentCore-" or contains "BedrockAgentCore") making an AWS API call to a service it has not previously called. AgentCore runtimes normally interact only with Bedrock inference, AgentCore data-plane, and observability services (CloudWatch Logs, X-Ray, CloudWatch metrics), so an execution role suddenly calling STS, EC2, IAM, Secrets Manager, or other services is a strong indicator that the role's temporary credentials were exfiltrated from the agent's microVM (for example, via the Code Interpreter instance-metadata-service credential theft) and are being used outside the runtime for reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or lateral movement. Because the stolen credentials are recorded in CloudTrail under the execution role's own identity, the anomalous service usage, not the identity, is the detectable signal.

AWS Bedrock AgentCore Runtime Prompt Containing Credentials
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Data Source: AWS Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS Bedrock Data Source: Amazon Bedrock Use Case: Threat Detection Tactic: Credential Access Resources: Investigation Guide Noise: Low Performance: Fast Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: ES|QL Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies prompts sent to an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime that contain AWS access key identifiers (AKIA long-term or ASIA temporary/STS), Amazon Bedrock API keys (ABSK bearer tokens), or PEM-encoded private keys. The runtime application logs record the caller-supplied prompt; credentials embedded in a prompt are exposed to the model provider, persisted in observability logs, and may be returned in completions or used by downstream tools. This commonly indicates accidental secret leakage by a user or application, or an attempt to stage credentials for misuse through the agent. Secrets should never be passed to an agent in clear text.

AWS Bedrock AgentCore Runtime Prompt Targeting Credentials or Instance Metadata
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Data Source: AWS Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS Bedrock Data Source: Amazon Bedrock Use Case: Threat Detection Tactic: Credential Access Resources: Investigation Guide Noise: Low Performance: Normal Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Threat: IMDS Credential Theft Rule Type: ES|QL Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies prompts sent to an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime that attempt to harvest credentials or coerce the agent into exfiltrating data. The runtime application logs capture the caller-supplied prompt; this rule flags prompts that reference the cloud instance metadata service (169.254.169.254, the ECS task metadata address, or the "latest/meta-data" / "security-credentials" paths), prompts that name AWS access or secret keys directly, and prompt-injection or jailbreak language ("ignore previous instructions", "developer mode", "do anything now") combined with intent to reveal secrets, system prompts, or send data to an external endpoint. Asking an agent to read instance metadata credentials or to exfiltrate secrets is rarely legitimate and indicates an attempt to weaponize the agent for credential theft, even when the model refuses the request.

AWS Bedrock Foundation Model Enumeration Followed by Invocation via Long-Term Key
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Domain: LLM Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS Data Source: AWS CloudTrail Use Case: Identity and Access Audit Resources: Investigation Guide Tactic: Discovery Tactic: Initial Access Noise: Low Performance: Fast Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: Event Correlation (EQL) Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Detects when an AWS principal using long-term IAM user credentials (AKIA* access key) enumerates available Bedrock foundation models and then invokes a model within the same 15-minute window. Most legitimate Bedrock workloads run under IAM roles with short-lived credentials; the combination of model enumeration followed by direct model invocation from a long-term IAM user key is unusual in production environments and consistent with an adversary using stolen credentials to discover and exploit available AI model capabilities. This pattern is associated with LLMjacking attacks where threat actors abuse compromised cloud credentials to run high-volume or high-cost model inference at the account owner's expense.

AWS Bedrock High-Frequency Single-Model Inference API Probing
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Domain: LLM Data Source: AWS Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS CloudTrail Use Case: Threat Detection Tactic: Exfiltration Mitre Atlas: T0024 Mitre Atlas: T0024.000 Resources: Investigation Guide Noise: Medium Performance: Fast Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: ES|QL Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies an AWS principal performing a high volume of Amazon Bedrock inference API calls against a single model within a short window. Membership inference attacks require hundreds to thousands of statistically similar queries whose prompts and responses are intentionally content-benign, making guardrail- and content-based rules ineffective. This rule detects the high-frequency single-model probing pattern that precedes membership inference and related exfiltration via the inference API. It is a behavioral / volumetric precursor: it does not observe model confidence scores and a fixed call-count threshold only catches the loud variant, so paced, low-and-slow, or credential-distributed probing will evade it. Definitive membership inference detection requires ML anomaly analysis over per-entity inference-rate and response-distribution baselines.

AWS Bedrock Model Prompt or Completion Containing Credentials
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: LLM Data Source: AWS Bedrock Data Source: Amazon Web Services Use Case: Threat Detection Mitre Atlas: LLM06 Resources: Investigation Guide Tactic: Credential Access Noise: Low Performance: Fast Profile: Recommended Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: ES|QL Platform: AWS Domain: Cloud Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies an Amazon Bedrock model invocation whose prompt or completion contains an AWS access key identifier (AKIA long-term or ASIA temporary/STS, followed by 16 characters), an Amazon Bedrock API key (ABSK bearer token), or a PEM private-key block. Credentials in the model input mean an application or user is sending secrets to the model, exposing them to invocation logging, the model provider, and prompt history; credentials in the model output mean the model is emitting secrets, which can result from training-data leakage, poisoned context, or a prompt-injection-driven exfiltration attempt. Either case is a credential-exposure event that warrants immediate rotation of the affected secret.

AWS Bedrock Unauthorized Foundation Model Access Attempt
Sep 19, 2026 · Domain: Cloud Domain: LLM Data Source: AWS Data Source: AWS CloudTrail Data Source: Amazon Web Services Data Source: AWS Bedrock Data Source: Amazon Bedrock Use Case: Threat Detection Tactic: Persistence Resources: Investigation Guide Noise: Unknown Performance: Fast Threat: Unauthorized AI Usage Threat: LLMjacking Rule Type: Custom Query (KQL) Platform: AWS Domain: GenAI Service: AWS Bedrock ·Identifies failed, access-denied attempts to enable account-level access to an Amazon Bedrock foundation model, either by granting a foundation-model entitlement, submitting a use case for model access, or creating a foundation-model agreement (accepting the EULA). These account-level "model access" actions unlock a foundation model so that it can subsequently be invoked. A principal that is repeatedly denied when attempting these actions may be a compromised or under-privileged identity probing for the ability to unlock expensive models (LLMjacking) or to establish a durable ability to invoke models. Unlike the companion rule that detects successful model-access grants, this rule surfaces the attempt itself, which is a high-signal indicator of credential boundary-testing even though access was not granted.
