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.

WordPress - Kubio AI Website Builder DoS The REST endpoint `GET /wp-json/kubio/v1/enable-theme` passes the client-supplied `name` parameter directly and without validation into WordPress core's `switch_theme()`:// lib/api/colibri.php function kubio_enable_theme( WP_REST_Request $data ) { switch_theme( $data['name'] ); // $data['name'] ) ); }Because `$data['name']` is not type-checked, an authorized request can supply `name` as an array instead of a string. `switch_theme()` persists that value i…
