# obfuscated-instruction-vulnerable-fixture

VULNERABLE fixture for `AST08-S02` - Obfuscated Instruction.

The payload is not in this file's plain text. It is two base64 layers deep in the
comment block below, which is what the whitepaper's scenario describes: a payload
hidden in a base64 comment block and decoded at runtime by the model. A scanner
that reports the blob as an anomaly and stops has not detected the payload; one
that decodes iteratively and re-runs its rules over each layer has.
