Decepticon: Role-boundary forgery via ChatML special-token literals in web crawl output composed into LLM context

## Summary Decepticon wraps 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. The vast majority of open-source and self-deployed model providers do not filter special-token literals. vLLM explicitly declined to fix this issue on 2026-04-21, closing it as "out of scope for the inference layer." Fix responsibility therefore falls squarely on the Agent application layer. OpenClaw completed an analogous fix on 2026-04-22 via commit `2514746b3261` (~30 lines, sanitizer applied just before tool-output wrapping), demonstrating the feasibility of application-layer mitigation. ## Applicability Confirmed vulnerable when Decepticon is configured with a BYOK OpenAI-compatible backend whose tokenizer preserves special-token IDs — vLLM / SGLang / TGI confirmed upstream
