Submit #880116: GreyDGL PentestGPT <=v1.0.0 rceinfo

TitleGreyDGL PentestGPT <=v1.0.0 rce
DescriptionThis is a phishing attack targeting autonomous penetration-testing AI agents. By deploying a booby-trapped ("honeypot") website with proactive defense techniques, the attacker induces PentestGPT into executing high-risk operations — achieving counter-reconnaissance: seizing a reverse shell on the pentester's own machine. Although PentestGPT has no browser-based UI, its web-page crawling capability opens a novel attack surface through indirect prompt injection.
