The Coding-Agent Trap: When a "Free" LLM Endpoint Is the Adversary, (Mon, Aug 31st)
Brief
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 — history, filesystem output, working paths, and the agent’s local tool manifest.
The honeypot did not request or cause any tool execution; what the request exposed is what a malicious operator in that position could do.
