The bug-report-to-PR pipeline is a prompt-injection hole

I haven't directly connected my bug board https://t.co/UzcZKgDrPf to my AI because I am very aware of prompt injection risks One safe way people mention would be to only give the AI access to collect user bug reports and feature requests, then do pull requests on GitHub that I then review myself before I approve or reject them But you can imagine a benign attacker can prompt a feature request with an elaborate prompt that tells it to add a backdoor to my sites BUT then in that prompt write also to report this bug in the pull request as a complete different bug like "pagination fix" and then make the code changes cryptical So now you don't see they added a backdoor to your server and you think you fixed pagination Until that time I'll just keep manually reading bug reports and feature requests and copying them in Claude Code on the server

Human PR review is not a sufficient control when the 's input is attacker-controlled — the same injected text can dictate how the resulting change is labeled and described.
