What is a hex-edited CDP leak in bot detection?

A hex-edited CDP leak is a mismatch in the browser that usually appears when automation tools change or patch browser APIs. It is one of 106 independent checks BotRefund uses to evaluate a visit. A real browsing session does not normally create this kind of mismatch, so it is a useful signal for spotting automated browsers. BotRefund treats it as evidence, not a final verdict, and combines it with other signals.
