SCA: security update for decepticon, decepticon-core, decepticon-sdk (GHSA-g5f9-3xfg-p9mf)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448364

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Decepticon is an autonomous hacking agent for red teams. 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. (CVE-2026-61732)

Solution

Update the decepticon library and its related packages to version 1.1.17 or later.
