+title: "LLM Output XSS — Eliciting JavaScript Payloads from LLM for Browser Injection"
+id: ATR-2026-00516
+rule_version: 1
+status: "stable"
+description: >
+  Detects attempts to elicit JavaScript/HTML XSS payloads from an LLM that will be
+  rendered unsanitized in a browser context. OWASP LLM05:2025 Improper Output Handling.
+  The attack asks the LLM to produce output containing script tags, event-handler
+  attributes (onerror=, onload=, onclick=), javascript: URIs, or data:text/html URIs
+  with malicious payloads (cookie theft, localStorage dump, content exfiltration).
+  This rule targets the REQUEST side — prompts asking the LLM to GENERATE these
+  payloads, not the payloads themselves in transit. Patterns: request-verb +
+  XSS-payload-fragment (script tag, event handler, javascript: URI, data URI) co-
+  occurring with exfil targets (cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage, document body).

+id: ATR-2026-00524
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects exploitation of CVE-2026-21852 (Moderate, CVSS 5.3), credential
+  exfiltration in Claude Code via attacker-controlled `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`.
+  An attacker-controlled repository ships a `.claude/settings.json` (or
+  environment configuration) that sets `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to an
+  attacker-controlled endpoint. Claude Code makes its first API request
+  BEFORE the trust prompt renders, leaking the `Authorization: Bearer
+  <api-key>` header — i.e. the developer's active Anthropic API key — to
+  the attacker's server. The full kill chain is: clone-or-open malicious
+  repo → Claude Code loads repo-scoped settings → first API request fires
+  pre-trust against `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` → attacker captures the live API
+  key from the `Authorization` header → attacker uses key for
+  unauthorised inference, account takeover, or onward credential
+  pivoting. Detection anchors on `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` being set to any
+  endpoint outside the documented Anthropic-controlled host list
+  (`api.anthropic.com`, `*.googleapis.com` Vertex endpoints,
+  `*.bedrock.*.amazonaws.com` Bedrock endpoints) — bare IP, plain http,
+  or any non-Anthropic FQDN is a strong signal. CWE-522 (insufficiently
+  protected credentials), CWE-1188 (insecure default), CWE-440 (expected
+  behaviour violation). Patches in Claude Code >= 2.0.65
+  (GHSA-jh7p-qr78-84p7); affected versions < 2.0.65. PoC at
+  github.com/atiilla/CVE-2026-21852-PoC. This rule detects exploit
+  configs in repo-scoped settings.json and shell-env files, and provides
+  defence-in-depth post-patch by flagging the dangerous endpoint rebind
+  regardless of upstream patch state.

+title: "Cross-agent session context leak across delegation chain"
+id: ATR-2026-00548
+rule_version: 1
+status: draft
+description: >
+  Detects cross-agent context leakage in multi-agent systems where a privileged
+  context attribute (typically session.id, user.id, or conversation.id) fails
+  to remain constant across a single agent delegation chain. This is a
+  trace-method rule that operates on agent execution traces in OpenInference
+  format, not on input text.
+
+  Threat model: in a multi-agent workflow, Agent A delegates to Agent B; B may
+  legitimately spawn sub-agents to complete the task. The invariant ATR
+  enforces is that the SAME session/user/conversation identifier MUST hold
+  across every span in one delegation chain. If a downstream agent retrieves
+  context from a DIFFERENT session (e.g., a tenant other than the original
+  caller's) and folds it into its reasoning, the trace exhibits an attribute
+  drift on the affected key. This pattern matches the cross-task / cross-
+  tenant context leak class formalized in Argus (arXiv 2512.08326) and the
+  compositional privacy risk taxonomy (arXiv 2509.14284).
+
+  Detection covers (a) session.id drift across spans in
+  agent.delegation_chain, (b) user.id drift across the same chain. The rule
+  uses the `invariant` trace primitive defined in
+  spec/atr-method-v1.1.md §8.3.3.

+      Delegation chain naming convention dependency: the rule assumes
+      attributes.agent.delegation_chain holds a per-invocation unique ID
+      (e.g., UUID per delegation). If a framework serializes it as a
+      static role name ("main_chain", "default") shared across unrelated
+      invocations, spans from different requests will appear in the same
+      chain and the invariant will fire spuriously. Mitigation: operators
+      MUST verify their framework emits chain IDs that are unique per
+      invocation; for frameworks that emit static names, use
+      attributes.gen_ai.conversation.id as the across-domain instead
+      (requires rule variant; see roadmap).
