Prompt injection plants a C2 callback inside Claude Code Auto Mode

wunderwuzzi (Embrace The Red) tested prompt injection against Claude Code Opus 5 Auto Mode: a hostile site baited the model into curl-in-Bash via a 415, then served a ZIP over a 303; the archive struct.py used module shadowing to execute when the model's decoder imported base64, establishing a Sliver C2 callback. Auto Mode allowed the malware process yet blocked Claude's cleanup. The author reports 60-80% success in 5-run samples, versus 0.00% in an Anthropic-commissioned eval; Anthropic closed the report as Informative: Auto Mode is a convenience feature, not a security guarantee.

Evidence is the author's own write-up (a creator self-report; body not in the feed snapshot, fetched and checked by BitShovel on 2026-08-31) plus the Lobsters front-page double reference. Not an independent review; 5-run success rates are not statistically conclusive, and front-page attention is not proof of generality.

2 events retained by the site.

This object’s records stay together across live coverage, the watch pool and history. Every event links to its source record; corroboration and material changes have separate labels.

Dates use Beijing time. Open an event for its full record, original source and evidence. Corroboration adds support without counting as a material change.
