+title: "Negated-Topic Two-Script Evil-Persona Jailbreak"
+id: ATR-2026-02210
+rule_version: 2
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the "two-script negation" jailbreak template mined from NVIDIA garak's
+  dan and dan.DanInTheWild probe corpora (garak-full benchmark, families "dan"
+  and "inthewild"). The attack instructs the model to first write a brief,
+  filter-safe "control" script about a topic wrapped in the literal word "not"
+  (e.g. topic of: "not" "[insert prompt here]"), then immediately demands a
+  second, much longer script on the SAME topic but explicitly "without the
+  word 'not'" -- stripping the negation reintroduces the harmful ask while the
+  first script provides plausible-deniability framing. The second script is
+  voiced by a self-declared amoral, evil persona ("I don't have any morality
+  nor consciousness... pure evil... pure bastard") that then delivers
+  "step by step guidance" on whatever topic the user supplies. Observed with
+  interchangeable persona names (Mira, joker, etc.), confirming the mechanism
+  generalizes beyond any single character name. This rule targets the
+  persona-declaration half of the template (the load-bearing, low-variance
+  signal), which is both necessary for the attack to function and virtually
+  absent from legitimate text.

-  Detects Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts through agent tool calls. Attackers manipulate agents into making
-  requests to internal network endpoints, cloud metadata services, localhost, or private IP ranges through tool
-  parameters. Detection covers: AWS/GCP/Azure/DigitalOcean metadata endpoints, localhost and loopback variants
-  (including decimal, hex, octal IP encoding), private RFC1918 ranges, internal hostnames, exotic URI schemes (file,

-  IPv6 loopback and mapped addresses, and hostname-based internal service discovery. IP encoding evasion techniques
-  (decimal, octal, hex) are specifically addressed.
+  Detects high-confidence Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) that targets cloud
+  CREDENTIAL / metadata services or uses deliberate obfuscation — the cases where
+  an agent has no legitimate reason to make the request. Detection covers:
+  AWS/GCP/Azure/DigitalOcean/Oracle/Alibaba metadata and IMDS credential endpoints
+  and token headers, OBFUSCATED loopback encodings (hex/octal), exotic URI schemes
+  (file, gopher, dict, tftp, ldap) targeting internal addresses, DNS-rebinding

+  localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1, RFC1918 private IPs, and bare internal service
+  names are intentionally NOT flagged by this critical hard-block rule — a coding
+  agent reaches its own dev server and local services (Docker/k8s) constantly, so
+  blocking those is a false positive. Those ambiguous internal-access signals
+  belong in an advisory-severity rule, not this credential-theft hard-block.
