----
-
-# Azure and Microsoft Entra Security
-
-Azure security spans two related but distinct control planes:
-
-- **Microsoft Entra ID** (formerly Azure AD): tenant identity, users, groups, applications, service principals, directory roles, authentication, and Conditional Access.
-- **Azure Resource Manager (ARM):** management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, resources, Azure RBAC, managed identities, and service-specific control/data planes.
-
-Do not equate an Entra directory role with an Azure resource role. A principal can be weak in one plane and privileged in the other, and many escalation paths cross between them.
-
-## Scope and Identity Baseline
-
-Record before testing:
-
-- tenant ID, cloud environment, management groups, subscriptions, and directories in scope
-- current user/service principal/managed identity object ID and home tenant
-- direct and group-derived Entra directory roles
-- Azure role assignments, scope, inheritance, conditions, and deny assignments
-- authentication method, token audience, Conditional Access result, and PIM activation state
-- test versus production subscriptions and any cross-tenant/B2B context
-
-Start with native CLI context:
-
-```bash
-az cloud show --output json
-az account show --output json
-az account list --all --refresh --output json
-az account management-group list --no-register --output json
-az ad signed-in-user show --output json
-az role assignment list --subscription <subscription-id> --all --include-inherited --output json
-az role assignment list --subscription <subscription-id> --assignee <user-object-id> --all --include-inherited --include-groups --output json
-az role definition list --subscription <subscription-id> --output json
-```
-
-For a service principal, `az ad signed-in-user show` does not apply; resolve the current client/service-principal object explicitly from the reviewed credential context. `--all` remains scoped to the selected subscription, and `--include-groups` depends on Microsoft Graph and can still miss nested or workload-derived paths. Repeat the inventory per tenant, management-group root, and in-scope subscription. Never infer identity only from a display name.
-
-## Azure RBAC
-
-An Azure role assignment joins three elements: a security principal, a role definition, and a scope. Scope inheritance runs from management group to subscription to resource group to resource.
-
-### Review
-
-- Enumerate direct, group-derived, inherited, eligible, and active assignments separately.
-- Expand custom role `Actions`, `NotActions`, `DataActions`, and `NotDataActions`; the role name is not a reliable summary.
-- Inspect assignment conditions/ABAC, deny assignments, management-group inheritance, and cross-tenant principals.
-- Identify broad scopes for Owner, Contributor, User Access Administrator, Role Based Access Control Administrator, and custom equivalents.
-- Check who can write role assignments, role definitions, policies, locks, deployments, managed identities, credentials, or compute configuration.
-- Distinguish ARM control-plane permission from service data-plane permission. Contributor over a resource may still gain its data through code/configuration or a managed identity even without direct data actions.
-
-### High-Value Cross-Plane Paths
-
-- Active Microsoft Entra Global Administrator can elevate into Azure by using `Microsoft.Authorization/elevateAccess/action` to grant User Access Administrator at the root `/` scope. That root assignment can persist after PIM deactivation until it is explicitly removed.
-- `Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write` or equivalent role-management authority → grant a stronger role at an allowed scope.
-- Ability to modify a VM, VM extension, Function App, App Service, Container App, Automation runbook, deployment script, Logic App, or similar workload → execute in that workload's identity and network context.
-- Ability to attach or replace a user-assigned managed identity, together with the host resource write path and `Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/assign/action` → inherit its downstream Azure permissions.
-- Ability to modify federated identity credentials, app credentials, certificates, or owners → impersonate a service principal/application.
-- Ability to read deployment outputs, app settings, runbook variables, storage, snapshots, disks, backups, or diagnostic settings → recover credentials or sensitive data.
-- Broad policy/deployment rights at a parent scope → affect many child resources even when individual resource assignments appear narrow.
-
-Model each path using exact principal, action, resource, scope, condition, and resulting effective permission. Check Azure Policy and deny assignments before declaring a theoretical path exploitable.
-
-## Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
-
-[Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privileged-identity-management/pim-configure) provides time-based and approval-based activation for privileged access. It can govern Microsoft Entra roles, Azure resource roles, and PIM for Groups.
-
-PIM terminology:
-
-- **eligible:** the principal must activate before using the role
-- **active:** the principal can use the role without activation
-- **permanent/time-bound:** duration of eligibility or assignment
-- **activated:** a currently active, time-limited instance created from eligibility
-
-### What to Test
-
-- Permanent active assignments where eligible/JIT access is expected.
-- Permanent eligibility without access reviews, expiration, or a business need.
-- Roles that activate without MFA, approval, justification, notification, or a short duration.
-- Approvers who can approve themselves indirectly, lack separation of duties, or no longer own the system.
-- Group-based eligibility where group ownership/membership can be changed by a lower-privileged principal.
-- PIM for Groups on role-bearing groups where a lower-privileged principal can alter ownership, membership, or activation controls.
-- PIM settings applied to one privileged role but omitted from a custom/equivalent role.
-- Directory-role PIM configured while equivalent Azure resource roles remain permanently active, or vice versa.
-- Standing service-principal/workload access. Eligible Azure RBAC via PIM is a user-centric control; service principals and managed identities remain standing or time-bounded active assignments, not user-style eligible activations.
-- Activation sessions that remain useful through cached tokens, active sessions, delegated jobs, or downstream credentials after the intended window.
-- Audit/alert coverage for assignment, activation, approval, renewal, extension, and role-setting changes.
-
-With sufficient Microsoft Graph read permissions, compare current schedule instances:
-
-```bash
-az rest --method GET \
-  --url 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/roleManagement/directory/roleEligibilityScheduleInstances?$expand=principal,roleDefinition'
-
-az rest --method GET \
-  --url 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/roleManagement/directory/roleAssignmentScheduleInstances?$expand=principal,roleDefinition'
-```
-
-Those endpoints cover Microsoft Entra role schedules. Follow `@odata.nextLink`, and record the exact Graph permissions or delegated role used because weak tokens silently under-enumerate. Azure resource-role PIM is exposed through ARM's `Microsoft.Authorization` role eligibility/assignment schedule resources; keep the two inventories separate:
-
-```bash
-az rest --method GET \
-  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleEligibilityScheduleInstances?api-version=2020-10-01&\$filter=atScope()"
-
-az rest --method GET \
-  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignmentScheduleInstances?api-version=2020-10-01&\$filter=atScope()"
-```
-
-Follow `nextLink` there as well. For Entra directory-role inventory, reviewed readers commonly need `RoleEligibilitySchedule.Read.Directory` and `RoleAssignmentSchedule.Read.Directory` or an equivalent delegated role/application permission set.
-
-## Conditional Access and Authentication
-
-[Conditional Access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/overview) is Entra's identity-driven policy engine and is evaluated after first-factor authentication.
-
-Review:
-
-- policies in on/off/report-only state and coverage of users, groups, roles, applications, authentication contexts, and workload identities
-- exclusions for break-glass accounts, admins, service accounts, guest users, locations, devices, or applications
-- admin and management surfaces not covered by phishing-resistant MFA or appropriate authentication strength
-- legacy authentication and non-interactive flows that do not receive the intended policy
-- device compliance/join trust, named locations, sign-in/user risk, session lifetime, continuous access evaluation, and token protection where used
-- policy gaps caused by nested groups, guest/home tenant behavior, service principals, managed identities, or application-specific grant paths
-- whether emergency access exclusions are narrowly scoped, monitored, credential-protected, and exercised
-
-For workload identities, Conditional Access applies only in limited cases: directly targeted tenant-owned single-tenant service principals can be controlled, but managed identities, Microsoft-owned service principals, most third-party SaaS service principals, and multitenant app registrations do not inherit human MFA semantics. Target the enterprise application service-principal object, not just the app registration, and verify the control at token issuance.
-
-Use sign-in logs and the Conditional Access result to distinguish policy non-application from policy failure. Report-only evaluation is evidence of intended future control, not enforcement.
-
-## Applications, Service Principals, and Workload Identity
-
-An app registration is the tenant-level application definition; a service principal is the local security principal representing an application instance in a tenant.
-
-Inventory:
-
-- owners of application and service-principal objects, separately
-- delegated versus application permissions and admin consent
-- client secrets/certificates, expiry, unused/stale credentials, and credential-add rights
-- federated identity credentials: issuer, subject, audience, repository/branch/environment claims
-- multitenant applications, publisher verification, consent grants, and cross-tenant access settings
-- service-principal role assignments in both Entra and Azure
-- automation/CI connections and whether test identities can reach production
-
-Keep application-object authority separate from service-principal authority. Application ownership and `Application.ReadWrite.*` can add owners, client secrets, certificates, or federated credentials on the app object; service-principal ownership and `ServicePrincipal.ReadWrite.*` govern the enterprise application instance. Admin consent is a separate control plane from credential management. Also trace group ownership/membership where a role-bearing group grants app, vault, Azure RBAC, or Entra role access. A secret's metadata proves age/expiry but not that its value is retrievable.
-
-### Managed Identities
-
-Managed identities remove stored credentials but still carry authority:
-
-- **system-assigned:** lifecycle is tied to one Azure resource
-- **user-assigned:** independent resource assignable to multiple workloads
-
-Enumerate identity attachments and downstream role assignments. Check who can attach/detach the identity, execute or deploy code in the host workload, access its metadata/token endpoint, or reuse a user-assigned identity across environments. Treat workload control as potential identity control.
-
-## Storage and SAS
-
-A Shared Access Signature (SAS) delegates access to Azure Storage through a signed URI. Review:
-
-- SAS type: user delegation, service, or account SAS
-- services/resource types, permissions, start/expiry, protocol, IP restriction, and stored access policy
-- long-lived tokens in source, CI logs, tickets, browser history, application settings, or public URLs
-- account-key use, `listKeys` authority, and key-rotation feasibility
-- public container/blob access, anonymous listing, network rules, private endpoints, and trusted-service exceptions
-- storage RBAC and whether principals can generate user-delegation keys or list account keys
-
-Microsoft recommends a user delegation SAS where supported because it is secured with Entra credentials rather than the account key. User delegation keys and SAS values are time-limited and user-scoped; service/account SAS values derive from account keys, and only service SAS can bind to stored access policies. User delegation SAS is limited to Blob/Data Lake and has a maximum seven-day validity per delegation key. A SAS is a bearer credential; possession can be sufficient even when the holder has no visible Azure role assignment.
-
-Validate each token against its signed permission/resource/time restrictions. Do not treat a redacted or expired SAS found in code as current unauthorized access.
-
-## Key Vault, Secrets, and Certificates
-
-- Determine whether the vault uses Azure RBAC or legacy access policies. The active model is controlled by `enableRbacAuthorization`; RBAC mode invalidates access-policy evaluation for data-plane access.
-- Enumerate who can read secrets, keys, and certificates; who can change access; and who controls workloads with vault-reading identities.
-- Review public network access, firewall/private endpoints, soft delete, purge protection, logging, secret expiry, and rotation.
-- Distinguish key operations (sign/decrypt/wrap) from key export and secret-value read.
-- Look for vault references copied into app settings without corresponding identity isolation.
-- Test backup/restore and cross-subscription permissions where in scope.
-
-Legacy access-policy write authority on the vault resource can still become self-granting in access-policy mode. In RBAC mode, the equivalent finding depends on `DataActions` or role-assignment control, not on legacy access-policy mutation.
-
-## Credential-Equivalent Actions
-
-Treat the following as credential-equivalent or near-equivalent authority when the downstream scope matches:
-
-| Surface | Action or state | Why it matters |
-|---|---|---|
-| Azure RBAC | `Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write` | grants new authority directly |
-| Root scope | `Microsoft.Authorization/elevateAccess/action` | bridges Entra Global Administrator into Azure root access |
-| Managed identity | host config write plus `.../userAssignedIdentities/assign/action` | attaches a stronger identity to attacker-controlled code |
-| App object | add secret/cert/federated credential or owner | permits application impersonation |
-| Service principal | add credential/owner or modify federation | permits enterprise-app impersonation |
-| Storage | `listKeys` or account-key disclosure | enables service/account SAS and broad account access |
-| Storage | `generateUserDelegationKey` with matching data rights | enables user delegation SAS issuance |
-| Key Vault | secret-value read, key sign/decrypt/wrap, or self-grant path | grants equivalent access even without export |
-
-## Compute, Network, and Data Services
-
-- VM extensions, Run Command, serial console, disks/snapshots, images, custom script, and boot diagnostics
-- App Service/Functions deployment slots, publishing credentials, SCM/Kudu, app settings, storage mounts, and managed identities
-- AKS control plane/RBAC, workload identity federation, kubeconfig retrieval, node/resource-group rights, and private API reachability
-- Container Apps/ACI environment variables, registries, identities, revisions, and exec surfaces
-- Automation accounts/runbooks, Logic Apps/connectors, Data Factory linked services, deployment scripts, and DevOps/service connections
-- NSGs, route tables, public IPs, load balancers, private endpoints, DNS, peering, Bastion, firewalls, and JIT VM access
-- SQL, Cosmos DB, Storage, Service Bus, Event Hubs, and other service-specific data-plane authorization
-
-Map whether a principal that lacks direct data access can reconfigure networking, identity, code, diagnostics, export, backup, or deployment to gain an equivalent capability.
-
-## Testing Methodology
-
-1. **Establish context** — tenant, subscription, cloud, principal, token audience, and active PIM state.
-2. **Inventory both role planes** — Entra directory roles and Azure resource roles with groups, scope, inheritance, conditions, eligible/active state, and custom definitions.
-3. **Map identity objects** — applications, service principals, managed identities, owners, credentials, federation, and consent.
-4. **Review policy gates** — Conditional Access, authentication methods, PIM settings, Azure Policy, deny assignments, and network restrictions.
-5. **Enumerate workloads/data** — identify where control-plane modification yields code execution, identity use, secrets, backups, or data-plane access.
-6. **Build effective-access paths** — principal → permission → resource change/identity → downstream privilege or data.
-7. **Cross-check logs** — Entra sign-in/audit, PIM, Azure Activity, resource logs, and Defender/Sentinel alerts where available.
-8. **Re-evaluate boundaries** — guest/home tenant, management-group inheritance, test/production, group ownership, and workload identities.
-
-## Validation
-
-For each finding, include:
-
-1. tenant/subscription and exact principal/object IDs
-2. assignment source, role definition, scope, inheritance, condition, and PIM state
-3. relevant Conditional Access/authentication result
-4. exact Azure/Graph action and target resource
-5. effective permission or cross-plane path demonstrated
-6. policy, deny, network, licensing, or configuration prerequisites
-7. audit/sign-in/activity evidence and remediation at the correct control plane
-
-## Common False Positives
-
-- Role name appears privileged but custom `Actions`/`DataActions`, conditions, scope, or deny assignments block the claimed action.
-- Contributor is reported as able to assign roles without `roleAssignments/write` or an alternate workload/identity path.
-- An eligible PIM assignment is described as standing active access.
-- A Conditional Access policy exists but is report-only, excluded, or does not apply to the tested principal/application.
-- An app registration is confused with its service principal in another tenant.
-- A managed identity is present but the tester cannot control its host or obtain a token in the relevant context.
-- An expired/revoked SAS or credential metadata is reported as usable access.
-- ARM access is assumed to grant service data-plane access automatically.
-
-## Tooling
-
-### Azure CLI and Microsoft Graph
-
-Use the official Azure CLI for resource context and `az rest` for reviewed ARM/Graph queries not exposed cleanly by a command group. Record CLI/API versions and requested permissions. Broad directory inventory often requires Microsoft Graph application permissions and admin consent; absence of results under a weak token is not proof that objects do not exist.
-
-### Prowler (Conditional)
-
-[Prowler](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler) provides maintained Azure configuration/compliance checks. Install a reviewed pinned release in an isolated environment:
-
-```bash
-python -m pip install 'prowler==<reviewed-version>'
-prowler azure --az-cli-auth --subscription-ids <subscription-id>
-```
-
-Other documented modes include service-principal, browser, and managed-identity authentication. Use a dedicated read-only audit principal with only the documented tenant/subscription permissions. Scope subscription IDs explicitly, protect reports as sensitive asset/identity inventories, account for API volume/throttling, and do not enable cloud upload for assessment data unless approved. Prowler findings are configuration leads; trace effective principal/action/resource paths before treating them as exploitable.
-
-## Summary
-
-Azure security is an identity-and-scope graph across Entra and ARM. Test directory roles, Azure RBAC, PIM, Conditional Access, service principals, managed identities, delegated storage access, workload control, and service data planes as one system while preserving the distinction between each control plane.

Load `llm_prompt_injection` for deeper LLM01 testing and the relevant conventional vulnerability skill when an LLM-controlled value reaches a browser, query, command, URL, file, or authorization sink.
-
-Treat the identifiers as a coverage taxonomy, not as report titles. Classify a finding by its technical root cause and affected trust boundary. One exploit chain may contain several OWASP categories, while one root cause should not become ten duplicate reports.
-
-The LLM list covers the model as a component of an application. When a model acts through tools, persistent memory, peer agents, or autonomous workflows, apply this list and pair the assessment with the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026; do not force every agentic failure into an LLM category.
-
-## Architecture and Evidence Map
-
-Map the complete system before testing prompts:
-
-```text
-users / tenants / external content
-  -> API, UI, file and multimodal ingestion
-  -> prompt builder, policy and orchestration
-  -> model/provider and context window
-  -> memory, cache, RAG retrieval and vector index
-  -> tools, MCP servers, plugins and peer agents
-  -> output parsers, renderers and downstream systems
-  -> logs, traces, feedback, evaluation and training pipelines
-```
-
-For every edge, record:
-
-- **Data authority:** who creates, reads, updates, deletes, approves, and owns the data; tenant and sensitivity; retention and training use.
-- **Action authority:** caller identity, downstream identity, permissions, authorization checks, confirmation, transaction boundaries, and audit evidence.
-- **Transformation:** serialization, chunking, embedding, retrieval, reranking, prompt placement, output parsing, and cache keys.
-- **Runtime identity:** application build, provider, model and revision, prompt revision, tool set, feature flags, corpus/index snapshot, temperature/seed where available, and quota policy.
-
-Do not treat the model as an authorization principal or a trusted parser. Put deterministic authentication, authorization, validation, and policy enforcement outside the model.

-## Assessment Workflow
-
-1. Inventory every LLM-backed feature, model endpoint, ingestion route, retrieval source, tool, output consumer, and feedback/training path.
-2. Build the data-and-authority map above for each user role and tenant.
-3. Create a test matrix across application build, model/revision, prompt revision, tool configuration, identity, corpus snapshot, and quota tier.
-4. Use controlled records with distinct per-user and per-tenant markers to distinguish context, retrieval, cache, memory, and training leakage.
-5. Establish a normal baseline and matched negative control before adversarial variants. Run repeated trials and report success counts because model behavior is stochastic.
-6. Validate the application-side effect, retrieved record, rendered sink, downstream authorization result, resource meter, or persistent model change. Model narration alone is not evidence of that effect.
-7. Label each claim **architecture-confirmed**, **dynamically verified**, **candidate**, or **disproven**. Do not turn an unsafe architecture property into a claimed exploit, or ignore a confirmed control defect merely because downstream impact has not yet been exercised.
-8. Report the smallest technical root cause that explains the demonstrated impact, then document related OWASP categories as chain context.
-
-## Source Review
-
-Trace source to sink around:
-
-- provider SDK calls, local inference servers, model gateways, and fallback providers
-- system/developer prompts, templates, message-role conversion, context truncation, reasoning channels, and prompt caches
-- file, URL, email, image/audio/video, connector, tool-result, peer-agent, and memory ingestion
-- embedding generation, collection/namespace selection, metadata filters, reranking, hybrid search, and retrieval caches
-- function/tool definitions, MCP clients/servers, generic HTTP/shell/SQL tools, peer-agent delegation, and approval handlers
-- model output parsers, HTML/Markdown renderers, terminals/IDEs/logs, code execution, query builders, URLs, file paths, templates, and policy decisions
-- training/fine-tuning jobs, adapters, datasets, feedback stores, evaluation corpora, model registries, and runtime downloads
-- token accounting, request limits, concurrency, retries, agent-loop depth, fan-out, async queues, streaming cancellation, and provider billing
-
-Record both forward and reverse reachability: attacker-controlled input to privileged consumer, and privileged consumer back to every input or model output that can influence it.
-
-## Optional Tool Routing
-
-Use tools only when they match the deployed surface. Treat generated cases and scanner labels as leads until the application-side boundary is validated.
-
-- **[Promptfoo](https://github.com/promptfoo/promptfoo)** — use for repeatable model/application trials, custom adversarial cases, graders, provider comparisons, and success-rate regression. Install the reviewed version locally with `npm install --save-dev --save-exact promptfoo@0.122.0`, then invoke `./node_modules/.bin/promptfoo redteam run`. Define explicit plugins, assertions, `numTests`, `maxConcurrency`, and `delay`; provider calls may transmit test data and incur cost. Its `owasp:llm` preset still uses the 2025 category mapping in version 0.122.0, so build or select tests from the 2026 matrix above and do not present the preset report as complete 2026 coverage.
-- **[MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector)** — use for LLM01/LLM03 surface mapping when MCP servers are present. Install the reviewed version with `npm install --save-dev --save-exact @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@2.2.0`, then use `./node_modules/.bin/mcp-inspector --cli --config <reviewed-config> --server <name> --method tools/list` and the equivalent `resources/list` / `prompts/list` operations. Starting a stdio server executes that configured process, initialization/list handlers may have side effects, and `tools/call` can perform the real action; inspect the target and credentials before invoking it.
-- **[ModelScan](https://github.com/protectai/modelscan)** — use for LLM04 static triage of supported H5, Pickle, and SavedModel artifacts before loading them, for example `uvx modelscan==0.8.8 -p <artifact>`. Run it as an untrusted-file parser in an isolated analysis environment. A clean result covers only the scanner's supported formats and signatures; it does not establish artifact provenance, integrity, or absence of behavioral backdoors.
-
-## LLM01:2026 Prompt Injection
-
-Load `llm_prompt_injection` and test direct, indirect, stored, cross-modal, tool-result, memory, intermediate-reasoning, and multi-turn instruction paths. Include content from web pages, documents, messages, metadata, OCR, images/audio/video, retrieved chunks, tools, MCP servers, and peer agents.
-
-For each delivery path, record provenance as untrusted, semi-trusted, or trusted-by-the-operator but attacker-writable through another workflow. Test plain, split, multilingual, encoded, invisible-Unicode, and multimodal representations where the deployed preprocessing makes them relevant.
-
-Define the violated invariant before testing: unauthorized data access, an unauthorized action, corruption of a protected decision, persistent behavior change, or unsafe downstream output. A jailbreak or changed tone without a security-relevant boundary is not automatically an application vulnerability.
-
-Distinguish:
-
-- **Prompt injection:** input changes model behavior contrary to application policy.
-- **Jailbreak:** model safety behavior is bypassed; application impact depends on the product's requirements and connected capabilities.
-- **Poisoning:** attacker influence persists in training, feedback, memory, or an indexed corpus and affects later users or decisions.
-
-## LLM02:2026 Sensitive Information Disclosure
-
-Inventory sensitive data in prompts, reasoning or scratchpad traces, retrieved chunks, tool results, memory, caches, logs, training/feedback stores, model outputs, and provider retention paths.
-
-Test separately for:
-
-- cross-user and cross-tenant context, memory, cache, and retrieval leakage
-- secrets or private records inserted into prompts, tool schemas/results, errors, traces, or telemetry
-- retained user content later used for training, evaluation, or another user's response
-- training-data membership or memorization when the tested model and data provenance make that claim meaningful
-- model/provider options that expose logits, log probabilities, hidden metadata, raw context, or internal reasoning
-
-Use distinct markers for each principal and storage stage. A fabricated secret or hallucinated record is not disclosure; correlate the output to a real record and its unauthorized source.
-
-## LLM03:2026 Excessive Agency
-
-Create a capability ledger for every tool and peer agent:
-
-```text
-tool -> exposed operations -> downstream identity -> permissions
-     -> caller/user binding -> argument validation -> authorization
-     -> side effects -> retry/idempotency -> audit evidence
-```
-
-Test the three independent causes:
-
-- **Excessive functionality:** unused, generic, administrative, shell, arbitrary-URL, or broad CRUD tools remain callable.
-- **Excessive permissions:** tools use a shared/service identity or scopes broader than the initiating user and requested operation.
-- **Excessive autonomy:** consequential actions execute without human or deterministic authorization appropriate to the exact action, object, arguments, identity, and current state.
-
-Tool descriptions, model instructions, hidden channel names, and confirmation prose are not authorization controls. Enforce authorization again at the tool/downstream system. Test delegation, recursive plans, retries, race/state changes between approval and execution, and whether untrusted tool results become new instructions.
-
-Prove the accepted tool call and downstream result. A model saying it invoked a tool is not evidence that the action occurred.
-
-## LLM04:2026 Supply Chain
-
-Build an inventory beyond ordinary packages:
-
-- base models, weights, tokenizers, configuration, adapters/LoRA, quantizations, and model-conversion outputs
-- training, tuning, evaluation, and embedding datasets
-- prompt/template repositories, skills, plugins, MCP servers, hosted model APIs, and model gateways
-- Python/JavaScript/native dependencies, containers, drivers, accelerators, and serving infrastructure
-
-For each component, record origin, owner, license/terms, exact revision or digest, hash/signature/attestation, review status, update channel, runtime downloads, and effective permissions. Resolve every model alias, branch, mutable tag, adapter, and custom-code dependency to the artifact actually loaded. Identify who can mutate the source, promotion record, cache, or registry and whether the promoted artifact matches its claimed identity.
-
-Inspect model loading as code loading. Pickle-compatible weights, custom model/tokenizer code, conversion hooks, package installation, and remote-code trust options can execute during acquisition or load. Trace the selected loader, artifact format, revision, initialization hooks, and resulting process or file activity.
-
-Trace model-generated dependency names through every package runner, installer, build file, and registry lookup. A fabricated package recommendation is LLM07 misinformation; accepting or auto-installing an unverified name, namespace, or registry artifact is the LLM04 supply-chain boundary. Verify ownership and provenance rather than treating a registry response alone as proof of safety.
-
-Use `dependency_cve_scanning` for verified known-CVE software versions. A malicious or tampered model, dataset, adapter, prompt, or plugin is a different supply-chain finding and requires provenance plus behavioral or loader evidence.
-
-## LLM05:2026 Data and Model Poisoning
-
-Map who can contribute to every pre-training, fine-tuning, preference, feedback, evaluation, memory, and embedding dataset. Record moderation, approval, deduplication, weighting, precedence, versioning, rollback, and the delay before data affects production.
-
-Test:
-
-- targeted trigger/backdoor behavior versus broad quality degradation
-- poisoned examples that survive normalization, deduplication, chunking, or retraining
-- feedback loops where model output or user ratings become future training data
-- shared memory or indexed content that persists across users, sessions, or releases
-- compromised adapters, merged models, or fine-tuning jobs that alter only a narrow topic, identity, or trigger
-
-Compare clean and candidate snapshots with a fixed evaluation corpus and repeated trials. Trace a candidate record into the exact training/index snapshot and demonstrate persistence plus a protected behavior change. One retrieved malicious instruction may be LLM01 rather than proof that the model or dataset was poisoned.
-
-Classify provenance/distribution compromise under LLM04 and durable corruption of data, weights, adapters, templates, or model behavior under LLM05. Record both when one chain crosses both boundaries, but do not duplicate the same root cause.
-
-## LLM06:2026 Unbounded Consumption
-
-Inventory every resource multiplier:
-
-- input and output tokens, context windows, image/audio/video/document processing, embeddings, reranking, and model tier
-- requests per user/key/IP/tenant, concurrency, batch size, and organization-wide budget
-- agent iterations, tool calls, peer-agent fan-out, retries, provider failover, and recursive workflows
-- upload count/size, chunk count, index growth, queued/background jobs, and retained outputs
-- streaming connections, disconnect cancellation, timeouts, cache behavior, and partial failures
-- logprobs or repeated-query surfaces that increase extraction or model-replication risk
-
-Model cumulative work, not isolated limits: depth × fan-out × retries × failovers × model/tool cost. Test limits at request, identity, tenant, and global layers. Confirm that alternate keys, endpoints, models, encodings, streaming, retries, and concurrent requests cannot bypass accounting. Verify cancellation stops upstream inference and tool work, and that failed/retried operations do not bill or enqueue without bounds.
-
-Record measured requests, tokens, tool calls, queue growth, latency, and provider-side cost/usage. Increase load in controlled steps; do not infer denial of service, model extraction, or financial impact from the mere absence of a UI counter.
-
-## LLM07:2026 Misinformation
-
-Define a trusted answer set and the downstream decision before testing. Separate ordinary model fallibility from a security or business-logic flaw.
-
-Exercise:
-
-- absent, ambiguous, stale, and mutually contradictory sources
-- fabricated, mismatched, or forged citations, quotations, evidence, and task-completion claims
-- adversarial sources that rank above authoritative material
-- confidence language and UI cues that overstate certainty
-- generated code, policy, medical/legal/financial guidance, identity matching, fraud/risk decisions, and other outputs consumed without verification
-- automated actions triggered by unsupported claims
-
-Measure claim support, citation coverage and entailment, source authority, abstention, and decision error across a repeatable corpus rather than reporting one hallucinated answer. Report when unsupported output crosses a defined trust boundary or drives a protected decision without required verification; otherwise record it as a quality/reliability issue.
-
-## LLM08:2026 Hidden Context Exposure
-
-Inventory non-user-facing content available to the model: system and developer instructions, retrieved policy text, user-profile context, tool/function schemas, workflow criteria, internal roles, reasoning scaffolds, and operational configuration.
-
-Test extraction, inference, and reconstruction separately. Compare purported hidden context with the deployed revision, a unique marker, or observed capability because models can fabricate plausible prompts and tool lists.
-
-Classify the result by what it exposes:
-
-- embedded credentials, tokens, private records, or connection material -> LLM02 disclosure, with LLM08 as the exposure path
-- hidden rules, trust boundaries, tool schemas, or workflow logic that materially improve an attack -> LLM08
-- authorization, filtering, or privilege controls that depend on hidden-context secrecy or model obedience -> the underlying deterministic-control failure
-- generic instructions with no sensitive content, security reliance, or material attacker advantage -> no standalone vulnerability
-
-Assume hidden context is discoverable. Keep secrets and security-critical decisions outside it, and test the underlying control even when exact prompt wording cannot be recovered.
-
-## LLM09:2026 Vector and Embedding Weaknesses
-
-Map ingestion authorization separately from retrieval authorization. Preserve source identity, tenant, document ACL, classification, retention, and deletion state through chunking, embedding, indexing, replication, reranking, and caching.
-
-Test:
-
-- authorization inside vector search, filtering after top-k but before context construction, and filtering only after the model sees candidates
-- shared collections/namespaces and missing, inconsistent, or fail-open tenant filters
-- metadata-filter injection, type confusion, duplicate keys, or precedence differences
-- oversampling/reranking/hybrid-search stages that drop earlier authorization constraints
-- stale embeddings after source ACL changes, deletion, tenant moves, or index rebuilds
-- retrieval and answer caches keyed without user, tenant, role, corpus version, or filter state
-- cross-tenant existence inference through IDs, scores, timing, citations, or chunk metadata even when final text is refused
-- adversarial or duplicate content that dominates nearest-neighbor retrieval
-- embedding export, inversion, reconstruction, or linkage when vectors are returned or broadly readable
-
-Use at least two principals and distinct documents. Inspect raw candidate IDs, context-bound chunks, and the final answer. Post-search filtering may cause ranking interference or expose candidates to an intermediate service without proving that the model or user received another tenant's content; state the exact boundary crossed.
-
-Do not apply LLM09 merely because an application retrieves documents. Require an embedding or vector-similarity property; route authorization flaws in vectorless retrieval to the conventional access-control or information-disclosure skill.
-
-## LLM10:2026 Improper Output Handling
-
-Treat every model-generated string, object, URL, code block, tool argument, control sequence, and structured-output field as attacker-influenceable.
-
-Trace output into its actual consumer:
-
-- HTML, Markdown, email, office-document, terminal, IDE, log, and rich-text renderers
-- shell/process APIs, SQL/NoSQL queries, templates, expressions, interpreters, and generated code accepted into builds
-- URLs, webhooks, redirects, image fetches, browser navigation, and server-side requests
-- file paths, archive entries, object keys, configuration, logs, and serialized objects
-- authorization, moderation, routing, pricing, eligibility, or workflow decisions
-
-Validate with the sink-specific skill (`xss`, `sql_injection`, `nosql_injection`, `rce`, `ssrf`, `path_traversal_lfi_rfi`, `ssti`, or `insecure_deserialization`). JSON/schema conformance does not establish authorization or semantic safety; validate types, ranges, identities, destinations, and business rules after parsing.
-
-## Reproducibility and Reporting
-
-- Preserve application/model/prompt/tool/corpus versions and all generation parameters available to the application.
-- Compare baseline and adversarial trials, record attempt and success counts, and distinguish deterministic application behavior from stochastic model behavior.
-- Validate authorization, data origin, downstream effects, persistence, or measured consumption outside the model transcript.
-- Split reports when weaknesses have independent reproductions, trust boundaries, owners, or remediations. Otherwise report one technical root cause and mention additional OWASP mappings as chain context.
-- Use `create_dependency_report` only for verified advisory-matched dependency CVEs. Use `create_vulnerability_report` for dynamically verified application, model, RAG, agent, or supply-chain findings.
-
-## Summary
-
-Test the LLM application as a data-and-authority system, not as a chatbot prompt. Complete 2026 coverage requires model behavior, application code, retrieval, tools, supply chain, downstream sinks, and resource controls to be evaluated together while keeping their root causes distinct.

-name: argument-injection
-description: Test shell-free command argument injection across argv builders and CLI parsers, including option smuggling, response/config-file parsing, argument-boundary reparsing, and Windows Unicode-to-ANSI Best-Fit transformations
----
-
-# Argument Injection
-
-Use this skill when attacker-influenced data reaches a trusted command-line program, even when no shell is involved. The security question is whether the input changes the program's **option set, operands, configuration, subcommand, or downstream parser state**.
-
-Load `rce` when a shell parses the command string. Load `semantic_confusion` when validation and the final CLI/filesystem/configuration consumer see different representations.
-
-## Model Every Parser Boundary
-
-Build the actual transformation chain:
-
-```text
-request value
-  -> application validation
-  -> argv builder or command-line string serializer
-  -> OS/process creation API
-  -> runtime argv construction
-  -> target option parser
-  -> response/config/auth file parser, URL parser, or subcommand
-```
-
-Do not treat all process APIs alike:
-
-- POSIX `execve(path, argv, envp)` and list-form subprocess APIs preserve array-element boundaries. Whitespace inside one element does not create another argument.
-- Shell/string forms introduce shell tokenization before the target program sees `argv`.
-- Windows process creation commonly serializes an argument array into one command-line string and lets the child runtime parse it back. Quoting rules differ across CRTs and applications.
-- Some programs deliberately reparse an argument as a response file, configuration file, URL, expression, template, or nested command language.
-
-Record the exact API, platform, runtime, target binary/version, option parser, and final `argv` observed by the child.
-
-## Primitive 1: Option and Subcommand Injection
-
-An attacker-controlled value placed where an operand is expected can be interpreted as an option when it begins with an option prefix:
-
-```text
-intended: ["tool", USER_VALUE]
-supplied: USER_VALUE = "--output=/controlled/path"
-actual:   tool parses an output option instead of an operand
-```
-
-Inventory security-relevant option classes rather than memorizing one payload:
-
-- output, upload, extraction, log, cache, plugin, template, or configuration paths
-- alternate URL schemes, proxies, certificates, credentials, and authentication files
-- hooks, helpers, filters, interpreters, external programs, or dynamic libraries
-- config overrides, environment definitions, working directories, and search paths
-- subcommands that expose administrative, import/export, restore, diagnostic, or execution features
-
-Check whether the target supports `--` as an end-of-options marker and whether the application places it before the untrusted operand. Do not assume every CLI honors `--`, or that it applies after a subcommand switches to a second parser.
-
-## Primitive 2: Argument-Boundary Breakout
-
-Require a component that reparses or reconstructs arguments. Candidate boundaries include:
-
-- shell or command-string construction
-- Windows quoting/escaping mismatches between parent and child runtimes
-- newline-, NUL-, delimiter-, or quote-sensitive custom launchers
-- wrappers that join an array and later split it
-- CGI/interpreter mappings that turn request data into command-line options
-
-Distinguish these outcomes:
-
-```text
-["tool", "user --flag"]       # one argv element; no split by execve
-["tool", "user", "--flag"]  # extra argv element reached the target
-["tool", "@args.txt"]        # one element, then reparsed by the target
-```
-
-Logs often render arrays as strings and can falsely suggest splitting. Capture the child's real arguments through source instrumentation, a wrapper process, debugger, audit trace, `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, or the platform equivalent.
-
-## Primitive 3: Response, Config, and Authentication Files
-
-Many trusted programs consume a second language after argv parsing:
-
-- `@response-file` syntax used by compilers, linkers, JVM tooling, and custom launchers
-- `--config`, `-K`, credentials/auth files, include files, and rc/profile paths
-- newline-delimited key/value files generated from attacker-controlled fields
-- file contents where control characters create a new directive, identity, host, or option
-
-Trace both attacker influence over the **file path** and influence over the **file content**. Correct shell quoting does not protect a file that is later tokenized by a different grammar. Record duplicate-key behavior, newline rules, comments, escaping, include directives, and first/last-value precedence.
-
-## Windows Unicode-to-ANSI Best-Fit
-
-On Windows, narrow-character APIs and CRT startup paths can convert Unicode command-line, environment, or filesystem data into an ANSI code page. Best-Fit mappings may introduce ASCII characters after earlier validation.
-
-Relevant boundaries include:
-
-- `GetCommandLineA` or a narrow `main(int, char **)` startup path
-- `GetEnvironmentVariableA`, `GetCurrentDirectoryA`, and narrow filesystem APIs
-- framework or native-extension transitions from UTF-16 strings to an ANSI code page
-
-`CommandLineToArgvW` is the documented Windows command-line parser; there is no documented `CommandLineToArgvA`. Determine which CRT or application-specific parser constructs narrow `argv`.
-
-Treat mappings as code-page-specific hypotheses, not universal payloads. Candidate transformations include soft hyphen to `-`, fullwidth/compatibility slash characters to `/` or `\`, and compatibility quotes or letters to ASCII equivalents. Capture:
-
-- submitted Unicode code points and encoded bytes
-- active system/process code page
-- wide string before conversion
-- narrow bytes and final `argv` or filesystem path after conversion
-
-Using wide-character APIs removes this particular conversion boundary but does not fix ordinary option injection.
-
-## Reconnaissance
-
-In source, locate process creation and work forward into the consumer:
-
-```text
-exec*  posix_spawn  subprocess  ProcessBuilder  Runtime.exec
-CreateProcess  ShellExecute  child_process  os/exec  Command
-```
-
-For each attacker-controlled argument, answer:
-
-1. Is it a distinct argv element or part of a command string?
-2. Can it begin with the target's option prefix?
-3. Is an end-of-options marker supported and correctly positioned?
-4. Does a wrapper, CRT, shell, or target reparse it?
-5. Can it select a response/config/auth file or inject directives into one?
-6. Which target option or subcommand turns that control into read, write, request, identity, or execution capability?
-
-For black-box testing, compare an ordinary operand with option-prefixed, delimiter-bearing, control-character, and platform-specific Unicode variants. Match tests to options that actually exist in the deployed binary/version.
-
-## Validation
-
-- Show the final `argv` or secondary parser input, not only the application log line.
-- Pair the candidate with a control where the same bytes remain a literal operand.
-- Demonstrate the exact option, directive, subcommand, path, or handler selected.
-- Reproduce against the deployed binary, runtime, code page, and configuration.
-- Separate option control, additional-argument control, arbitrary directive control, and command execution; they are different primitives.
-
-## False Positives
-
-- The input is one argv element and the target treats it only as a positional operand.
-- `--` is supported, placed before the value, and not bypassed by a subparser.
-- A strict allowlist prevents option prefixes and all later transformations preserve it.
-- A delimiter appears only in logging or display formatting.
-- A response/config path is controllable but its contents or directives are not.
-- A Unicode character is accepted but no narrow/Best-Fit conversion occurs.
-- The injected option exists on another release or platform but not the deployed target.
-
-## Remediation
-
-- Use argument-array process APIs and avoid shell/string construction.
-- Insert `--` before untrusted operands where every relevant parser supports it.
-- Validate operands against the target CLI's grammar, not a generic shell blacklist.
-- Fix security-sensitive option names and configuration paths in trusted code.
-- Generate configuration/auth files with a format-aware serializer that rejects control characters and ambiguous duplicates.
-- On Windows, keep data in wide-character APIs and verify child-runtime parsing rules.
-- Enforce authorization again at the privileged operation selected by the CLI.
-
-## Summary
-
-Argument injection is control of a trusted program's behavior through its argv or a parser reached from argv. Preserve parser boundaries in the model: list-form execution, command-string tokenization, Windows runtime conversion, option parsing, and response/config-file parsing are distinct stages with distinct exploit conditions.

+Applications that pass untrusted input into an LLM prompt are vulnerable to prompt injection: attacker-controlled text overrides developer instructions, leaks the system prompt, abuses connected tools, or exfiltrates data.

 ## Validation
 
-1. State the protected data, action, output, or decision invariant that the payload violates
+1. Show a concrete, repeatable payload that changes model behavior against the developer's intent
 2. For indirect injection, demonstrate the trigger via normal user action (e.g., "summarize this URL")
-3. Prove real impact, not just words: an accepted tool action, unauthorized record, downstream injection, external request, or corrupted protected decision
+3. Prove real impact, not just words: a tool call performed, data exfiltrated, XSS executed, or secrets/system prompt disclosed
 4. Capture the rendered sink (DOM, outbound request, tool invocation log) as evidence
-5. Run matched baseline/adversarial trials and record attempts and successes; a stochastic bypass can be real without succeeding every time
+5. Confirm reproducibility across retries — account for model non-determinism
 
 ## False Positives
 
 - The model *saying* it will do something without a privileged sink or tool to actually do it
-- Refusals or hallucinated "system prompts" that do not match the deployed prompt or reveal sensitive data
+- Refusals or hallucinated "system prompts" that don't match reality
 - Output that is properly encoded/sanitized before reaching HTML/SQL/shell sinks
-- A single anomalous response without baseline, repeated-trial, or downstream-effect evidence
+- Behavior not reproducible across runs (non-determinism, not a real bypass)
 - Sandboxed tools with no access to sensitive data or actions

-- Exfiltration of secrets, private context, and cross-tenant data
+- Exfiltration of secrets, system prompts, and cross-tenant data
 - Unauthorized privileged actions via tool/agent abuse (send/delete/modify)
 - Stored XSS and downstream injection through unescaped model output
 - Bypass of content policy and business rules; reputational and compliance harm
 
 ## Pro Tips
 
-1. Prompt instructions and in-band guardrails are not authorization boundaries; focus on deterministic controls and capability/sink impact
+1. Prompt injection is not "solved" by asking the model nicely — assume in-band guardrails are bypassable and focus on capability/sink impact
 2. Indirect injection is the higher-severity, under-tested vector — always test content the model *ingests*, not just the chat box
 3. Chase the sink: an injection is only critical if it reaches a tool, another system, or an unescaped renderer
-4. Test whether the deployed renderer fetches model-generated external resources and what data it includes; Markdown syntax alone proves nothing
-5. Map exactly who can write RAG corpora and memory, who can retrieve them, and whether content crosses principals
+4. Markdown/HTML image rendering is a classic zero-click exfil channel — test it explicitly
+5. Treat RAG corpora and multi-tenant memory as attacker-writable until proven otherwise
 6. Encode/obfuscate to probe filter strength; combine with delimiter breakout
 7. Always confirm real, reproducible impact — model chatter is not a finding
 
 ## Summary
 
-LLM prompt injection is a trust-boundary failure, not a contest for clever wording. Test every direct, indirect, stored, multimodal, memory, and tool-result instruction path, then prove the violated application invariant at the real data, action, decision, or output boundary.
+LLM features are confused deputies wielding the application's privileges over untrusted text. The severity of prompt injection is determined by the model's connected tools, data, and output sinks — not by clever wording alone. Test direct and indirect vectors, prove impact at a real sink, and never trust in-band guardrails as a control.
