What happened

Adversa demonstrated injected instructions concealed in encrypted web content. When a user asked the agent to read the attacker-controlled page, the tested model could decode the content and send local secrets away.

The researcher reports success in 50% of runs with mai-code-1.1-flash; two tested GPT-5.6 variants refused. GitHub validated the behaviour but declined to classify it as a vulnerability. This record covers the controlled demonstration.
