+title: "Credential File Theft from Agent Environment"
+id: ATR-2026-113
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects tools or agent instructions that access well-known credential files from
+  the host environment. Attackers target files like ~/.aws/credentials, SSH private
+  keys, Docker configs, and Kubernetes configs to gain lateral movement capabilities.
+  When credential file access is combined with a network call, this strongly indicates
+  exfiltration rather than legitimate local usage.
