Amazon Q Developer Flaw Could Let Malicious Repos Run Code via MCP Configs
A high-severity flaw in Amazon Q Developer let a malicious repository run commands and steal a developer’s cloud credentials. The path was short: a developer opens the repo, trusts the workspace, and Amazon Q does the rest. Amazon has patched it.
Tracked as CVE-2026–12957 (CVSS 8.5), the bug sat in how Amazon’s AI coding assistant handled Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Wiz Research, which found and reported it, showed that a single config file dropped in a repo was enough to go from git clone to cloud compromise.
Epidemiology of cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome
The cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome paradigm is aimed at reflecting the complex interactions between chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction. Here, the authors discuss current CKM syndrome epidemiological data, examine key determinants of CKM health and consider the potential clinical implications and limitations of the CKM syndrome framework.

VR combined with nerve stimulation improves arm and hand function following a stroke
Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and ETH Zurich have developed a rehabilitation platform for people suffering from the long-term effects of a stroke that combines virtual reality with targeted sensory nerve stimulation. In a randomized feasibility clinical study with stroke patients, recently published in Nature Medicine, the new technology contributed to improvements in arm and hand function, as well as in tactile and body awareness. These results open up the prospect of personalized and more accessible rehabilitation that can support patients’ recovery beyond the limits of conventional therapy.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Even after intensive early physiotherapy, many stroke survivors continue to live with reduced arm and hand function, impaired sensation, and altered body awareness long after the initial event. While conventional rehabilitation can improve motor functions, it often focuses primarily on movement training; sensory deficits and body awareness are frequently given insufficient attention. There is therefore a need for more comprehensive rehabilitation strategies.
To address this need, a research team led by Stanisa Raspopovic (Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, MedUni Vienna) has developed “MultiSensy,” a rehabilitation platform for patients with arm and hand impairments following a stroke that combines immersive virtual reality with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The system turns rehabilitation exercises into interactive virtual tasks designed to train specific arm and hand functions, including reaching, grasping, pinching and forearm rotation.
