An audit of the Rebuff 0.1.1 guard module's default heuristic layer revealed a 0.75 threshold that can be bypassed with simple modifications. When tested with its own documented example, the module flagged the phrase with a score of 0.824. However, a slightly altered version of the same phrase, removing a trailing clause, scored 0.700 and was not flagged, indicating the heuristic relies on exact phrase matching rather than intent.
