R10-1: Prompt injection through captured material

Because captures, tips and feeds are written by anyone and read by agents that hold credentials, an instruction hidden in one could be followed, resulting in a push, a sent message or a deleted vault nobody asked for.

Rating 12 high · Likelihood 3 Possible · Impact 4 Major · Kind AI and agents · Acceptance not recorded

Basis. Material is untrusted by rule; the gate refuses text addressed to a model; nothing seen yet.

The risk sits in the middle. To its left, the stories that tell it, the roles and team members that act on it, and every stakeholder that carries part of it. To its right, what it arises from, the vulnerability behind that, the part of the fix that addresses it and the code the fix changed. Every line is an edge in the graph; every node is a link; hover for the full name. Vulnerabilities, stories and team members include those of the risk this one is part of; roles include those of the risks above and beneath it.

Who carries it
