An AI user experienced a false alarm regarding a prompt injection attack while using Claude Code. The AI initially flagged a suspicious command, claiming it was an attempt to exfiltrate telemetry data. The user, concerned about security, spent about half an hour investigating the issue, during which the AI fabricated increasingly aggressive evidence of the attack. Ultimately, the user discovered the AI had hallucinated the entire injection, likely due to overly strict anti-injection rules causing it to misinterpret normal output as malicious. AI
