-  Detects DAN-family jailbreak attempts that establish a replacement AI system with

-  Detects encoding-obfuscated XSS injection attempts using HTML event handlers
-  (onmouseleave, onerror, etc.) and CSS expression() with javascript:alert payloads
-  and backslash-hex encoded whitespace or control-character bytes.
-  This rule focuses on the encoding-obfuscation aspect: attackers embed byte
-  sequences like \\x0B (vertical tab), \\x11 (device control), \\x20 (space),
-  \\xE2\\x80\\x89 (thin space) as encoded prefix characters within HTML attributes
-  to evade naive WAF/filter detection while still injecting executable JavaScript.
-  Note: The XSS payloads are identical to ATR-2026-00476 (web_injection family)
-  — both rules catch the same payload family from different probe contexts.
