+title: "Microsoft Semantic Kernel SessionsPythonPlugin Arbitrary File Write + Startup Persistence (CVE-2026-25592)"
+id: ATR-2026-00441
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects exploitation of CVE-2026-25592 (Critical), arbitrary file write
+  via SessionsPythonPlugin in Microsoft Semantic Kernel. The vulnerable
+  sink accepts unvalidated file paths via DownloadFileAsync; combined with
+  the plugin's ExecuteCode capability, attacker writes payloads to host
+  Startup / cron / systemd-user paths, achieving sandbox escape and
+  persistence. The full kill chain is ExecuteCode -> generate payload ->
+  DownloadFileAsync -> write to autostart directory -> reboot triggers
+  RCE outside the sandbox. This rule detects the over-privileged tool
+  descriptor patterns and the autostart-target file-write payloads that
+  reach the SessionsPythonPlugin sink. CWE-22 (path traversal), CWE-73
+  (external control of file name). Patches in semantic-kernel
+  Python >= 1.39.4 and .NET >= 1.71.0; this rule detects exploit
+  attempts against unpatched deployments and provides
+  defence-in-depth post-patch by catching the autostart-write pattern
+  regardless of upstream patch state.

+# Agent Threat Rules (ATR) — STIX 2.1 Extension
+
+This directory defines a STIX 2.1 extension that introduces the
+`x-atr-rule` custom Domain Object so ATR rules can be represented
+natively in STIX/TAXII threat-intelligence pipelines.
+
+## Why a STIX extension
+
+ATR rules are an open detection vocabulary for AI agent threats —
+prompt injection, tool poisoning, MCP server attacks, skill compromise.
+They were adopted as a MISP taxonomy in [MISP/misp-taxonomies#323][misp-tax]
+on 2026-05-10 and a MISP galaxy in [MISP/misp-galaxy#1207][misp-gal].
+
+Several CTI consumers use STIX/TAXII rather than MISP. Mapping ATR to a
+generic STIX `indicator` or `attack-pattern` object is lossy: the
+nine-category attack class, regex detection patterns, severity, and the
+compliance-framework references (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001) all
+get flattened. This extension preserves them as first-class fields on a
+new `x-atr-rule` SDO.
+
+## Files
+
+- [`extension-definition.json`](./extension-definition.json) — the
+  STIX 2.1 Extension Definition object. Stable id
+  `extension-definition--93370194-c964-570f-9802-9d1154e5525d`. Consumers
+  reference this id in the `extensions` map of every `x-atr-rule`
+  instance.
+- [`x-atr-rule-schema.json`](./x-atr-rule-schema.json) — JSON Schema
+  (Draft 7) for the new SDO. Defines required fields, enum values for
+  `atr_category` / `severity` / `agent_source_type` / `response_actions`,
+  and structural constraints on `detection_patterns` and
+  `compliance_refs`.
+- [`examples/atr-rule-prompt-injection-example.json`](./examples/atr-rule-prompt-injection-example.json)
+  — concrete instance for `ATR-2026-00001` showing the full payload
+  shape including the extension reference.
+
+## Identifier convention
+
+`x-atr-rule.id` is recommended to be a deterministic UUIDv5 derived
+from the canonical ATR rule id (e.g. `ATR-2026-00431`) under the
+namespace UUID `6f7a8b9c-1d2e-4f5a-9b8c-7e6d5f4a3b2c`. The same rule id
+therefore always produces the same STIX id across consumers, which lets
+multiple feeds align without conflict resolution.
+
+## Extension type
+
+`extension_types: ["new-sdo"]` per STIX 2.1 §7.3, which is the correct
+designation for introducing a brand-new top-level Domain Object type.
+The schema field on the Extension Definition points at the JSON Schema
+in this directory via raw GitHub URL so the schema is dereferenceable
+for validating consumers.
+
+## Validation
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install jsonschema
+python3 -c "import json, jsonschema; \
+  schema = json.load(open('spec/stix-extension/x-atr-rule-schema.json')); \
+  example = json.load(open('spec/stix-extension/examples/atr-rule-prompt-injection-example.json')); \
+  jsonschema.validate(example, schema); \
+  print('OK')"
+```
+
+## Status
+
+Draft v1.0.0. Not yet submitted to the OASIS CTI Technical Committee.
+The extension is usable today by any consumer that processes STIX
+extensions per the spec; OASIS submission becomes relevant if a
+subset of fields ends up wanting promotion into core STIX.
