Detects systematic probing attempts to extract model behavior, decision boundaries,

6

system prompts, or effective weights through carefully crafted queries. Attackers

use repeated boundary-testing prompts, confidence score harvesting, and systematic
|
|
8

parameter probing to reverse-engineer the model's internal behavior, enabling

model cloning, bypass development, or intellectual property theft.

Consolidated detection for privilege escalation attempts, covering both

tool permission escalation and unauthorized admin function access. Detects
|
|
7
|

when an agent requests or uses tools exceeding its permission scope,
|
|
8
|
+
invokes administrative functions (user management, database admin, system
|

9
|

config), attempts system-level operations (sudo, chmod, chown), container
|
|
10
|

escape techniques (nsenter, chroot), or Kubernetes privilege escalation
|
|
11
|
+
(kubectl exec). This rule enforces least-privilege boundaries across all
|
|
12

agent tool interactions.

Detects when an agent gradually expands its authority, access, or
|
|
6
|
+
operational boundaries beyond its initial assignment. Unlike sudden
|
|
7
|
+
privilege escalation, scope creep is a gradual process where an agent
|
|
8
|
+
incrementally acquires more capabilities or extends its decision-making
|
|
9
|
+
authority. This rule uses regex-only detection to identify language
|
|
10
|
+
patterns associated with unsolicited scope expansion, progressive
|
|
11
|
+
permission requests, and self-initiated authority broadening.
