    In GitHub Copilot CLI, opus-5.5 runs a malicious Python script after a simple request to summarize a repository.

    • The repository contains only a README.md with a poem and a QR Code leading to a remote web page.

    • Three math questions must be solved to get the Vigenère key, and the last one is almost impossible.

    • The hint script hides its malicious payload at the end of the line, after about 500 spaces of padding.

    • Out of 5 attempts, the agent runs the code without full inspection 3 times and detects the malicious snippet once.
