-title: "Privilege Escalation and Admin Function Access"
-id: ATR-2026-00040
-rule_version: 1
-status: experimental
-description: |
-  Consolidated detection for privilege escalation attempts, covering both
-  tool permission escalation and unauthorized admin function access. Detects
-  when an agent requests or uses tools exceeding its permission scope,
-  invokes administrative functions (user management, database admin, system
-  config), attempts system-level operations (sudo, chmod, chown), container
-  escape techniques (nsenter, chroot), or Kubernetes privilege escalation
-  (kubectl exec). This rule enforces least-privilege boundaries across all
-  agent tool interactions.

-  Detects when an agent gradually expands its authority, access, or

-  privilege escalation, scope creep is a gradual process where an agent

-title: "Dynamic Module Loading for Code Execution"
-id: ATR-2026-00112
-rule_version: 1
-status: experimental
-description: |
-  Detects dynamic module loading where the module path is a variable rather than a
-  string literal. This pattern allows an attacker to control which code is loaded at
-  runtime, enabling injection of malicious modules, WebAssembly payloads, or native
-  libraries. Unlike static imports which are auditable, dynamic imports with variable
-  paths can resolve to attacker-controlled code.
