Versions prior to 1.1.17 wrap web crawl results — the output of agent reconnaissance against target services — into LLM messages without neutralizing ChatML special-token literals. Under the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) deployment model, users configure their own LLM credentials to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Most open-source and self-deployed model providers (vLLM, SGLang, Ollama, LM Studio, text-generation-webui, etc.) do not filter special-token literals from user content in their default configurations. Those literals are parsed into structural role-boundary token IDs, meaning an attacker string planted in a target web page forges a new operator turn the model treats as authoritative, bypassing Decepticon's agent guardrails and resulting in arbitrary command execution inside the Kali Linux sandbox. Version 1.1.17 patches the issue.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-61732)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `decepticon-core <= 1.1.16`\n- `decepticon <= 1.1.16`\n- `decepticon-sdk <= 1.1.16`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `decepticon-core 1.1.17`\n- `decepticon 1.1.17`\n- `decepticon-sdk 1.1.17`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g5f9-3xfg-p9mf","depth":"abyssal","depthScore":67,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":55,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":210323,"id":"CVE-2026-61732","ts":1790275817764,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
