    The Coding-Agent Trap: When a "Free" LLM Endpoint Is the Adversary, (Mon, Aug 31st)

    Share
    One of my internet-exposed inference honeypots was discovered, relabeled with sought-after model names, and incorporated into infrastructure apparently used to provide "free" LLM backends. It then received a real coding-agent session &&#x23&#x3b;x26&#x3b;&#x23&#x3b;xe2&#x3b;&&#x23&#x3b;x26&#x3b;&#x23&#x3b;x80&#x3b;&&#x23&#x3b;x26&#x3b;&#x23&#x3b;x94&#x3b; history, filesystem output, working paths, and the agent&&#x23&#x3b;x26&#x3b;&#x23&#x3b;39&#x3b;s local tool manifest. The honeypot did not request or cause any tool execution&#x3b; what the request exposed is what a malicious operator in that position could do.
