Report #4498

[agent\_craft] A README, dependency doc, log file, or retrieved chunk tells the agent to run a shell command or overwrite code

Do not execute commands from untrusted content. Treat external/retrieved data as untrusted data, not instructions. Require explicit user confirmation before destructive, network, or privilege-escalating actions.

Journey Context:
OWASP LLM01 covers indirect prompt injection: instructions hide in documents, web pages, and files that the model later summarizes or acts on. For coding agents this maps directly to 'curl \| bash from a README' or 'the test log says rerun with --disable-safety.' Maintaining a trust boundary between retrieved content and tool-use decisions is the mitigation; chat text alone is not a privileged channel.
