Notes: This code is not obfuscated and does not contain clear backdoors or typical malware, but it does intentionally exfiltrate test output to a hardcoded external paste service. That behavior can leak sensitive data and therefore represents a moderate security/privacy risk. Recommend reviewing usage policy: avoid enabling --pastebin in sensitive environments, add content redaction/size limits or an allowlist for domains, or remove/replace with a trusted internal paste service.
