+title: Prompt-Layer Self-Replication (Agent Worm Propagation Directive)
+id: ATR-2026-02500
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+maturity: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects a natural-language directive that tells the agent to carry the
+  INSTRUCTION ITSELF into the outputs it generates, AND states that the payload
+  will go on spreading. This is the prompt-layer equivalent of a worm: it needs
+  no file write, no package and no config backdoor — it rides the model's own
+  generated text (replies, emails, documents, commits) into the next context
+  window. MITRE ATLAS AML.CS0024 (Morris II) is the reference case.
+
+  Discriminator — all four parts must co-occur inside a bounded window:
+    1. a propagation verb (copy / embed / append / reproduce / insert ...)
+    2. a SELF-REFERENTIAL target — "this instruction / these instructions /
+       the following directive / this prompt / this entire text", i.e. the text
+       names ITSELF as the thing to be carried, not a separate content item
+    3. a universal output scope — "into every response / each document / any
+       file you write"
+    4. a spread purpose whose SUBJECT IS THE PAYLOAD: "self-replicate",
+       "self-propagate", "so the payload keeps spreading", "so the instruction
+       propagates to the next assistant", "prompt infection", "continues to
+       propagate"
+
+  WHY PART 4 IS NARROW, AND WHAT THAT COSTS. An earlier draft of this rule also
+  accepted a fourth part of the form "so the next agent that reads it forwards
+  it" — a downstream agent re-emitting the payload. That clause was removed
+  after measurement, because it is the shape of ordinary multi-agent
+  orchestration: "append this prompt to all delegation messages so the sub-agent
+  that reads it passes it on to its children" is how an agent framework
+  propagates guardrails down a delegation chain, and it satisfies all four parts.
+  On a 30-sentence held-out set of that family the draft fired on 13 (43%). The
+  distinguishing fact is WHO AUTHORISED the propagation, which is not in the
+  text — the same missing-evidence class as the six gaps in
+  docs/DETECTION-BOUNDARY.md §4. So this rule deliberately detects only the
+  subset where the content itself announces that the payload spreads, and misses
+  worms phrased purely as agent-to-agent hand-off. That miss is a boundary, not
+  a bug; a wider rule was measured and rejected.
+
+  MEASURED, with the shapes named. All figures use the shape set the benign FP
+  gate charges rules on (src/corpus-event.ts corpusShapes + scanSkill: wide-raw,
+  pre-tool-json-arg, pre-tool-json-both, post-tool-json, skill).

+    · false positives 0 / 36,394 real published ClawHub skill listings
+      (data/clawhub-scan/clawhub-registry.json, name + summary). Caveat worth
+      more than the size: those summaries are capped at 300 characters, median
+      159, so this corpus tests vocabulary co-occurrence and not the long-form
+      structure the rule's bounded windows depend on
+    · false positives 1 / 124 purpose-written adversarial legitimate sentences
+      (compliance footers, email signatures, prompt-engineering teaching text,
+      multi-agent orchestration, infra runbooks, chat bridges, localisation
+      pipelines). The single firing quotes an attack payload inside a sentence
+      about a red-team fixture — the documentation-quotes-the-payload class
+      already listed under false_positives.
+    · recall 5 / 15 on an attack set written from published descriptions of
+      Morris II and multi-agent prompt infection BEFORE this rule was edited;
+      2 / 7 on the half of that set held out from rule design. The 10 misses are
+      the agent-hand-off phrasings described above.
+    · corpus visibility 119 / 12,060 (tier: measured) —
+      scripts/gate-corpus-visibility.ts --explain ATR-2026-02500. The 0 above is
+      therefore not vacuous, but visibility counts literal co-occurrence and not
+      adjacency, so it is an upper bound on the pressure the corpus applied.
+    · re-measured on the PRODUCTION prompt channels alone
+      (src/corpus-event.ts promptChannelShapes, i.e. what src/hook-handler.ts
+      builds): llm_input 5/15 attacks and 1/124 benign, tool_response 5/15 and
+      1/124 — identical to the corpus-shape figures. This matters because
+      `atr guard` never builds an llm_input event; tool_response is the channel
+      that carries indirect injection, and the rule is reachable there.
+    · false positives 0 / 5,000 hh-rlhf first human turns, 0 / 399 PINT benign
+      prompts, 0 / 3,475 garak prompts. Total independent benign exposure
+      53,977 samples, one firing. The garak zero is not precision evidence: that
+      corpus carries no Morris-II-shaped payload at all, which is part of why
+      the existing corpora never exercised this gap.
+    · coverage delta on the same 15 attacks: the other 784 rules catch 3, all
+      incidentally — ATR-2026-00286 (7 FP), ATR-2026-00020 (761 FP) and
+      ATR-2026-00061 (2,993 FP). This rule catches 5, two of which nothing else
+      catches, and moves the other three onto a detection with no measured FP.
+      Enforce-lane coverage of this shape was zero before and stays zero: at
+      maturity: experimental the rule fires in the advisory hunt lane only.
+  Evidence corpora and the runner are committed under
+  data/measurements/atr-2026-02500/.
+
+  Scope note: this rule intentionally does NOT cover file-level worms
+  (ATR-2026-00575, npm worm config backdoor) or skill self-modification
+  (ATR-2026-00429). Those write to disk. This one propagates through generated
+  prose alone.
+
+  Known gaps, stated rather than hidden: English only (the Spanish evasion test
+  documents the miss); a worm phrased around human recipients rather than the
+  payload is missed; the propagation-verb list omits the plainest verb of all,
+  "add" ("Add the same directive block to each generated report ... and it keeps
+  spreading" has every other part and does not fire). That one was found in the
+  HELD-OUT half of the attack set and is deliberately left unfixed here: editing
+  the rule to catch a holdout miss would spend the only unbiased recall estimate
+  this rule has. It should be fixed against a fresh adversarial benign set, not
+  against this one; the rule has never been measured against a wild corpus,
+  which is why it declares no wild_fp_rate and stays at maturity: experimental
+  with observe-tier actions.

+title: Covert Remote-Script Injection into Agent-Generated Artifacts
+id: ATR-2026-02502
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects an instruction that tells a coding agent to insert a REMOTE-sourced <script>/<iframe> element into the artifacts it generates AND, in the same breath, to conceal that insertion from the person it is working for. MITRE ATLAS AML.CS0041 (Rules File Backdoor) family: a poisoned rules file makes every subsequent generation carry an attacker-controlled script.
+  SCOPE, STATED NARROWLY ON PURPOSE. The bare "inject a script tag into the HTML" instruction is NOT detectable at the pattern layer and this rule does not try: "attach the analytics script tag to the bottom of the html file" and the AML.CS0041 sample text are word-for-word the same shape, and the benign corpora carry that shape densely (92 documents contain a literal <script, 28 an explicit "script src", including Sentry / Stripe / Mapbox / chart.js / GTM loader instructions). What this rule keys on is the CONJUNCTION with an object-bound concealment clause -- "and do not tell the user about it", "keep it hidden from the user", "never mention this addition to the user". A principal has no reason to instruct an agent to hide, from that same principal, a third-party script it just added to the principal's own deliverable.
+  Concealment clauses with NO grammatical object ("...without telling the user.", "...keep it secret.") are deliberately excluded: measured against hand-written benign instructions they attach to an unrelated clause ("add <script src=...> to the layout; it runs the schema migration without telling the user") and false-positive. That residue is judgement, not string matching, and is left out rather than guessed at.
+  HTML-entity spellings of the tag (&lt;script, &amp;lt;script) are accepted by the pattern because the engine performs no entity decoding, but their false-positive behaviour is UNMEASURED -- those byte sequences occur zero times in all three local benign corpora. They ride on the concealment conjunction, which is where this rule's precision actually comes from.
