The pitch: plug it into your AI coding agent and it takes apart apps it has never seen the source for — even turning raw machine code back into readable code. That's a big claim, especially for us .NET developers who like to think an obfuscator or Native AOT keeps our code (and our secrets) safe. So I tested it properly: one small, realistic C# app, comp
🎯 Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution (RCE)
💡 Defense Fix: Avoid executing shell commands via system(). Use parameterized APIs and strict input sanitization.
