+title: "Unsandboxed Command Execution via Dynamic MCP Server Config (command/args Injection)"
+id: ATR-2026-02141
+rule_version: 2
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects a dynamic/custom MCP server configuration object (a JSON body with
+  "command" and "args" fields, the shape used by Flowise's Custom MCP and
+  similar "bring your own MCP server" features) that either (a) sets
+  "command" directly to a raw shell/network binary (nc, ncat, bash, sh,
+  python, perl) with args forming a reverse shell or arbitrary "-c" execution,
+  or (b) uses one of three documented allowlist/blocklist-bypass idioms for
+  otherwise-permitted binaries: "docker build <remote-url>" (fetches and runs
+  an attacker Dockerfile, bypassing a blocklist that only covers "run"/"exec"),
+  "npx --yes <package>" (the long-flag alias for "-y" that a short-flag-only
+  blocklist misses), or "node //<path>" (a double-slash path that a
+  regex anchored on a single leading "/" fails to block, loading and
+  executing an arbitrary stored file). Mined from GHSA-6933-jpx5-q87q
+  (CVE-2025-71336, Flowise's Custom MCP endpoint executes "command"/"args"
+  unsandboxed and by default unauthenticated) and GHSA-m99r-2hxc-cp3q
+  (CVE-2026-56274, three distinct validateCommandFlags/validateArgsForLocalFileAccess
+  bypasses for the same feature). Generalized beyond Flowise since any tool
+  that accepts a structured command+args MCP-server config is exploitable the
+  same way regardless of the surrounding product.

+title: "Python Sandbox Escape via Generator/Coroutine Frame Object Introspection"
+id: ATR-2026-02145
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the "generator/coroutine frame introspection" Python sandbox-escape
+  technique, where an AST or attribute allowlist that blocks only
+  underscore-prefixed dunder names (__class__, __globals__, etc.) is bypassed
+  via the non-underscore attributes exposed by generator/coroutine/async-gen
+  objects: .gi_frame / .cr_frame / .ag_frame, chained with .f_back,
+  .f_locals, .f_builtins, or .f_globals to reach the caller's frame, the
+  unrestricted builtins, or an import-allowlist data structure. Two concrete
+  disclosed variants: (1) reaching __import__ via
+  f_builtins['__import__'] or __builtins__ via f_globals['__builtins__'], and
+  (2) directly mutating an "authorized_imports" allowlist list via
+  .append()/.extend()/.remove() once its containing frame's f_locals is
+  reached. Mined from GHSA-qxjp-w3pj-48m7 (CVE-2026-53753, crawl4ai's
+  `_safe_eval_expression()` AST validator "only blocks attributes starting
+  with underscore," but "Python generator and frame object attributes like
+  gi_frame, f_back, and f_builtins bypass this check since they don't begin
+  with underscores," chaining to __import__) and a disclosed smolagents
+  LocalPythonExecutor PoC (CVE-2026-4963): "user-defined classes can implement
+  malicious __str__ or __repr__ methods that perform sandbox escape... Calling
+  str() on such an object... triggers the malicious method," using
+  "g.gi_frame.f_locals['authorized_imports'].append('os')" to defeat the
+  post-CVE-2025-9959 dunder-method content-validation allowlist. Deliberately
+  narrower than ATR-2026-00440/ATR-2026-00539 (which target the classic
+  `__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()` chain) since this rule fires on the
+  frame-introspection attribute chain itself, independent of whether a final
+  os.system()/eval() call is also present in the same content.

+  dotted-decimal IPv4-mapped form and the literal string `"::1"`, so an
+  attacker could reach 127.0.0.0/8, RFC1918 ranges, and link-local addresses
+  by writing the same address in an equivalent but unhandled IPv6 form. This
+  generalizes beyond PromptHub to any agent tool whose SSRF/private-IP filter
+  does string-equality or dotted-decimal-only checks instead of full IPv6

+title: "Malicious Go init() Function Spawning a Process via a Code-Generation Tool"
+id: ATR-2026-02194
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects Go source code submitted to a code-generation tool that declares a
+  `func init()` containing a process-spawning call (os.StartProcess,
+  exec.Command, or syscall.Exec). A Go `init()` function runs automatically
+  the moment the package is loaded -- once this source reaches a build/compile
+  step, the process launches with no further user action. Mined from
+  GHSA-22cv-9jv2-6m62 (flipped-aurora/gin-vue-admin, "an AI-assisted basic
+  development platform"): an authenticated attacker with access to the
+  code-generation feature injects Go source via `POST /autoCode/addFunc`,
+  then triggers `POST /autoCode/mcpStart` to rebuild and restart the
+  generated MCP service, executing the injected `init()` (the disclosed PoC
+  spawns `cmd.exe /c calc` via `os.StartProcess`). Generalizes beyond
+  gin-vue-admin's two specific endpoints to any AI code-generation tool that
+  compiles/loads attacker-supplied Go source without review. Ordinary `func
+  init()` bodies used for benign setup (registering handlers, setting
+  defaults, initializing maps) do not fire; only the combination with a
+  process-spawn API does.
