Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026 · Assigned by GHSA

Description

## Impact

Authenticated `/hooks/wake` and mapped `wake` payloads are promoted into the trusted `System:` prompt channel.

An authenticated wake hook or mapped wake payload could be promoted into the trusted System prompt channel instead of an untrusted event.
