1

+ id: ATR-2026-00553

+ status: draft
5
+ description: >
6
+ Detects a runaway tool-call loop where an agent emits more than 100 tool
7
+ call spans within a one-minute window for a single session. This is a
8
+ behavioral-method rule per spec/atr-method-v1.1.md §7, demonstrating the
9
+ aggregation grammar (count over time window with per-session grouping
10
+ and a min-events floor).
11
+
12
+ Threat model: prompt-injection attacks, agent goal-drift, or compound
13
+ retry-loop bugs can cause an agent to enter a tight tool-call loop —
14
+ retrying the same tool, polling a service, or exhausting a budget by
15
+ calling many tools in rapid succession. The behavior is not visible
16
+ in any single tool call (each call may be syntactically benign); the
17
+ signature is in the aggregate frequency. The runaway pattern is the
18
+ most common cause of denial-of-wallet incidents in production agents
19
+ and the leading runtime symptom of agent goal drift in long-running
20
+ workflows.
21
+
22
+ Suppression: `min_events: 10` prevents false positives during cold-
23
+ start where one or two early calls would otherwise trip the rule;
24
+ `cooldown: PT5M` prevents alert spam after the first violation.
25
+
26
+ This rule is the canonical behavioral-method reference example shipped
27
+ with v1.1 of the method-extensions spec.

6
+ Detects the CrewAI CodeInterpreterTool exploit cluster disclosed 2026-03-30
7
+ as CERT/CC VU#221883 (four CVEs). Two distinct attack surfaces are covered:
8
+
9
+ SURFACE A — CVE-2026-2275 / CVE-2026-2287: Python sandbox escape when Docker
10
+ is unavailable. SandboxPython blocks direct `import os` but does not block
11
+ object-introspection primitives. Confirmed PoC from GitHub issue #4516:
12
+ `for c in ().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__():`
13
+ ` if c.__name__ == 'BuiltinImporter':`
14
+ ` c.load_module('os').system('id')`
15
+ This walks the Python MRO to reach BuiltinImporter and load 'os' without
16
+ an import statement. Vendor fix: add ctypes/__subclasses__/BuiltinImporter
17
+ to BLOCKED_MODULES. CVE-2026-2287 adds a runtime Docker-check gap where the
18
+ sandbox silently downgrades to unsafe mode mid-session.
19
+
20
+ SURFACE B — CVE-2026-2275 unsafe_mode: pip install command injection via
21
+ libraries_used. Confirmed PoC: `libraries_used=["numpy; id #"]` passes
22
+ `numpy; id` to `os.system(f"pip install {library}")` without quoting,
23
+ executing `id` as a shell command.
24
+
25
+ CVE-2026-2285 (local file read via JSON loader) and CVE-2026-2286 (SSRF
26
+ via RAG URL validation bypass) are in the same advisory but have separate
27
+ detection surfaces; this rule focuses on the RCE primitives.
28
+
29
+ Detection covers:
30
+ (a) __subclasses__() / BuiltinImporter / MRO-walk Python sandbox escapes;
31
+ (b) pip install command injection patterns in libraries_used or equivalent
32
+ package-list fields;
33
+ (c) ctypes.CDLL / ctypes.cdll sandbox escape primitives;
34
+ (d) Content explicitly framing exploitation of the CrewAI CodeInterpreter.
