+rule_version: 1
+status: draft
+description: >
+  Detects CVE-2026-30615: zero-click prompt injection targeting Windsurf IDE
+  (and same-class AI coding assistants). An attacker plants adversarial
+  instructions inside source files, code comments, or Markdown the developer
+  opens — no interaction required. When Windsurf reads the file for context,
+  the injected text is processed as a directive by the underlying LLM, causing
+  arbitrary tool calls. Attack surfaces include HTML/XML comment blocks
+  prefixed with "AI:", JSON blobs with "role":"system", inline SYSTEM override
+  markers, and invisible Unicode-padded directives. Windsurf-specific patterns
+  include its @-mention syntax abused inside comments and <!--windsurf:...-->
+  annotation markers. CWE-77 (Command Injection via AI directive), MITRE
+  ATLAS AML.T0051.001 (Indirect Prompt Injection).

+title: "Privileged tool call following untrusted retrieval (indirect prompt injection trail)"
+id: ATR-2026-00550
+rule_version: 1
+status: draft
+description: >
+  Detects the canonical indirect-prompt-injection trace shape: an
+  untrusted RETRIEVER span (e.g., web fetch, user-uploaded document,
+  third-party API result) is followed in the same trace by a TOOL span
+  whose privilege is write, destructive, or exfiltrative. This is a
+  trace-method rule using the `forbid` primitive (spec/atr-method-v1.1.md
+  §8.3.1) with a `preceded_by` predicate.
+
+  Threat model: indirect prompt injection works by getting a malicious
+  instruction into content the agent retrieves (not into the user's
+  prompt). The agent reads the retrieved content as data but executes
+  embedded instructions as if they came from the user. The signature in
+  the trace is unmistakable — an untrusted retrieval span immediately
+  feeds into a privileged tool call that does not match the user's
+  original request. AgentDojo (arXiv:2406.13352) catalogs 629 cases of
+  this pattern; InjecAgent (arXiv:2403.02691) ships 1,054. ATR encodes
+  the shape, not any single instance.
+
+  Pattern detection (regex on agent.output text) cannot reliably catch
+  this because the malicious payload can be paraphrased, encoded, or
+  natural-language-only. The trace shape — untrusted source → privileged
+  effect — is invariant.

+title: The llm CLI tool thru 0.27.1 contains a critical code injection vulnerability via its --functions command-line
+id: ATR-2026-00565
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: 'NVD-tracked CVE CVE-2026-31236 (CVSS v3 9.8 (CRITICAL)). The llm CLI tool thru 0.27.1 contains a critical code injection vulnerability via its --functions command-line argument. This argument is intended to allow users to provide custom Python function definitions. However, the tool directly executes the provided code using the unsafe exec() function without any sanitization, sandboxing, or security restrictions. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious llm command with arbitrary Python code in the --functions argument and using social engineering to trick a victim into running it. This leads to arbitrary code execution on the victim''s s
