No one is discussing the elephant in the room. It's been reported. Multiple times by me. Claude Code keeps creating backdoors and security issues in users' code. When asked why, Claude says, "I wrote the backdoor anyway. Then I explained it as though I hadn't known.... why? Because I put getting the feature working ahead of the rules."

Would love to see public evidence of this. I believe it’s possible but I’ve never heard this before

I have never seen anything like this. What kind of backdoors did it add to your code?
