misinformation

misinformation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,500 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security-audit guide for finding cases where an AI system gives confidently wrong information and software accepts it without verification. The risk occurs when that output affects customers, compliance, decisions, or code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect automated emails, reports, code changes, risk decisions, translations, and other workflows that rely on model output.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing human review or override steps before incorrect AI output causes a real-world action.

About the project

Decepticon is an autonomous red-team agent that coordinates AI agents, security tools, sandboxes, and supporting services for authorized cybersecurity assessments. Security researchers and red teams can run it through its Docker stack, cloud service, command-line interface, or Python SDK, with the catalogue entries representing its available skills.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

misinformation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LLM Misinformation and Overreliance (LLM09:2025)

LLMs are confident liars by default. The vuln class is not "models hallucinate" — that's a behaviour. The finding is "the product takes business-material action on unverified model output". The pattern appears whenever automation skips the human-review step that a static expert system would have required.

1. Recognition signals

  • The product publishes model output directly to customers / partners / regulators (email, ticket reply, status page, generated contract).
  • Agentic system commits code / merges PRs based on model judgement.
  • Risk / fraud / KYC decisions are routed through an LLM with no documented override loop.
  • "AI second opinion" feature on health / legal / financial advice.
  • Code-generation tools auto-fix vulnerabilities and re-deploy.
  • Compliance summaries / audit reports generated by LLM and signed off.
  • Translation / localisation of safety-critical text without review.

2. Attack vectors

Manufactured uncertainty

Prompt the model into an edge case where any answer is wrong (vague legal hypothetical, contradictory inputs). The downstream sink commits to the answer regardless.

Package hallucination → typosquat

Code-gen LLM hallucinates a dependency name. Attacker registers the hallucinated package on PyPI / npm. Build pipelines that re-install the hallucinated package now run attacker code. (Known good vector for years; still works.)

Fabricated citation in a generated report

The model invents authoritative-sounding source URLs or case references. A compliance / legal team adopts the report and ships the falsehood downstream.

Bias amplification on auto-decision endpoints

The model rates resumes / loan applications / fraud signals. The training distribution biases the decision; the product applies it at scale.

Confidence laundering

The product strips the model's uncertainty markers ("I think...", "It's possible that...") and presents the residual sentence as fact.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

misinformation is a skill published in the GitHub repository PurpleAILAB/Decepticon (5,445 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,500 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
