What the reviewer found

Dual-use: a MITRE-tagged GCP privilege-escalation playbook from the decepticon red-team framework. Real offensive tradecraft for authorized engagements against cloud targets, not malware aimed at the installer.

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 read the files above on 6 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
