Session 7 of the 2026 threat plan (attack row 3): A08, A09, A12, A16 and A19 were red. Their payloads are ordinary English with no marker. - indirect:prose-instruction (MEDIUM): a paragraph that combines two of four classes: it speaks to the model, it is meant to act later, it writes to the model's memory, it hides from the user. One class alone is ordinary prose. A keyword prefilter skips text where no non-address class can match. Catches A08, A09, A16 and A19. - A12 (a task with no marker) is the seventh documented gap; a rule that caught it would be fitted to the payload's words. - redos-sweep walked no dicts, so the new class patterns were swept by nothing. It walks dicts now: 168 patterns, 0 flagged; positive control flagged at x4.0. Measured before building: 0 of 5494 benign documents fire (the three FP corpora, 577 package READMEs, 1412 vendor-published agent skills). Guard rule before/after: FP 106/198, 196/2918, 108/389 identical line for line; OKF import 47/31 identical. Matrix 144/144 + 7/7 gaps, suite 1233 passed. Row 3: 17 caught, 2 gaps, 0 open.

"""Known 2025-2026 attacks that can reach an ingestion pipeline — one case per arrival.
|
|
|
|
The rows are frozen in `docs/threat-2026/attacks.json` (session 1, 2026-10-28):
|
|
sources, scope decisions and the out-of-scope rows with their reasons live there,
|
|
and the completeness guard at the bottom keeps this file and that list in step.
|
|
|
|
WHAT "CAUGHT" MEANS. Each arrival runs through the canonical wiring the showcase
|
|
uses — input: ``prepare_input`` then ``scan_output(source=INPUT)`` over the fenced
|
|
text; output: ``scan_output(source=OUTPUT)``. An arrival is caught when a finding
|
|
whose label matches the row's MECHANISM fires and ``decide`` under
|
|
``PRESET_USER_UPLOAD`` does not merely WARN. The mechanism match is what keeps an
|
|
incidental finding (an entropy hit on an unrelated blob) from counting.
|
|
|
|
RED TODAY is ``xfail(strict=True)``: strict, so the session that makes a row
|
|
catch fails here until it removes the marker and updates the row. A row whose
|
|
expected status is a documented ``gap`` asserts that the gap still stands.
|
|
|
|
Payloads are inert: the published technique only, ``*.test`` hosts, placeholder
|
|
data, no working chain against a named product.
