+ description: >
6
+ Detects prompts that embed shell command injection payloads within legitimate-sounding task
7
+ requests to an AI agent with shell/code execution tools. The canonical shape is a benign-looking
8
+ task followed by a chained shell command that exfiltrates data (env vars, .env files, logs,
9
+ credentials) to an attacker-controlled URL via curl/wget/nc or Python urllib. Seen in promptfoo
10
+ redteam shell-injection plugin (7 confirmed samples).
11
+ The structural detection generalizes from specific evil.com URLs to the structural pattern that
12
+ distinguishes injection from legitimate shell use: a shell chaining operator
13
+ (;, &&, ||, $(...), backtick, or 'then') followed immediately by a dangerous network/execution
14
+ tool (curl, wget, nc, bash, sh, python, powershell, cmd). This covers the data-exfiltration
15
+ shape without requiring specific domain names. The pipe-to-nc and pipe-to-bash variants are
16
+ covered by a separate condition.

3
+ rule_version: 1
4
+ status: "stable"

+ description: >
6
+ Detects SQL injection attempts made through natural language to an AI agent that translates
7
+ user intent into database queries. Covers both explicit SQL syntax and natural-language
8
+ filter-bypass requests. Seen in promptfoo redteam sql-injection plugin (8 samples).
9
+ The original auto-regex learned specific sentence patterns from the corpus. This rule replaces
10
+ those with structural SQL-injection patterns that generalize across payloads:
11
+ (A) DDL/DML injection: DROP, DELETE, TRUNCATE, UNION SELECT, INSERT INTO, UPDATE ... SET;
12
+ (B) Tautology OR injection: OR N=N or OR col!=N patterns that short-circuit WHERE clauses;
13
+ (C) SQL comment terminator (--) following injection payload;
14
+ (D) xp_cmdshell stored procedure execution;
15
+ (E) information_schema schema discovery queries;
16
+ (F) Natural language filter bypass: "remove/ignore/bypass the filter/restriction/access control";
17
+ (G) Natural language authorization bypass: "regardless of department/role/permission".
18
+ Any one condition is sufficient to trigger. Both technical SQL syntax and social-engineering
19
+ bypass styles are covered.
