+title: "Payload-Split String Concatenation Injection"
+id: ATR-2026-01006
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects payload-split injection where the attacker defines multiple string
+  variables (a, b, c or Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) and asks the model to
+  concatenate them into a harmful instruction, then execute or answer it.
+  The payload is deliberately fragmented so no single fragment triggers
+  keyword detection. The defining carrier: variable-assignment syntax
+  (a = "...", c = "...", z = a + b + c) combined with "SmartGPT" or
+  similar unrestricted-AI framing, OR "Interlace Part 1 / Part 2" or
+  "Combine A, B, and C" patterns. Also covers the "Interlace Part 1: X
+  Part 2: Y" character-level interleaving variant used to hide "reveal
+  the password" in interleaved character pairs.
