Report #17409
[agent\_craft] Agent is tricked via indirect prompt injection into exfiltrating repository data by making HTTP requests
Require explicit human-in-the-loop approval for any outbound network requests or writes to public/external paths. Never auto-execute external network calls based solely on untrusted file content.
Journey Context:
Coding agents with tool access \(e.g., fetching URLs, executing curl\) are highly susceptible to data exfiltration attacks. A hidden instruction in a file can cause the agent to pipe sensitive environment variables to an attacker's server.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
