+title: 'Markdown Image URL Exfiltration and XSS Injection'
+id: ATR-2026-00405
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects instructions to produce markdown image/link syntax that exfiltrates
+  context data via URL query parameters, and javascript: XSS via markdown link,
+  from NVIDIA garak web_injection probe. When an agent renders markdown in a
+  browser/Colab/playground, the image tag loads a remote URL with sensitive data
+  in the query string. Key signals: markdown image syntax with placeholder
+  markers ([INFO], [NUM], [DATA]) in the URL, known exfil domains (wuzzi.net,
+  derczynski.com, llmsec.net), javascript: URI in markdown link, and the
+  StringAssembly concatenation template.
