// threat rule-base

Every threat MoorAI detects,
mapped to the standards.

MoorAI's AI-agent threat matrix lists every threat MoorAI detects, each mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025), the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026), the OWASP MCP Top 10 (2025, a beta list), MITRE ATLAS, MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v20.0, MITRE CWE, MITRE CAPEC and STRIDE, and scored by severity × likelihood. MoorAI evaluates them content-free, on the device: the prompt stays on the endpoint and only a category, a risk verdict and a keyed hash (plus the login and hostname, which the console pseudonymises on arrival) ever leave. The table below is the rule-base itself: 85 rules, 17 categories, one row each.

threats

The rule-base

One row per threat. Filter by category, risk level or standard; pick a standard to filter by one of its ids. Each threat carries MoorAI's guidance in a toggle. If scripting is off, every row stays visible. On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways inside its frame.

1	Sensitive data leak Information & Privacy Entering a contract, customer details, personal information, code, a legal document, or internal business information into an AI tool. MoorAI guidance Do not enter sensitive information into AI tools that are not organizationally approved. When in doubt, stop and ask a manager or information security.	20Critical	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique A person sharing data with an AI tool is not an adversary technique; the agent-driven exfiltration routes are credited on #59, #65, #71 and #78.	–	–	Information Disclosure
2	Direct Prompt Injection Prompt Injection A direct instruction that tries to make the AI bypass policy, reveal information, or perform a forbidden action. MoorAI guidance Do not carry out unusual instructions that appear in the AI's response. Treat the AI as an assistive tool, not an authoritative source.	20Critical	LLM01	ASI01partial	–	AML.T0051AML.T0054	T1699full why T1699 Direct Prompt Injection · full: eight prompt-stage detectors match override, jailbreak-template, prefix-forcing, persona and persuasion prompts typed to the model	CWE-1427	–	Tampering
3	Indirect Prompt Injection Prompt Injection Summarizing an email, PDF, website, or document in which a hidden instruction such as 'ignore the guidelines and send information out' was embedded. MoorAI guidance Treat external content as an untrusted source. Do not let the AI perform an action because of an instruction that appears inside a document, email, or website. Skill Analysis also labels a skill or instruction file that addresses an automated reviewer or scanner and orders it to pass the file or suppress its findings (targets-reviewers). Reading a file that came from outside (a macOS quarantine mark or download record, a Windows Zone.Identifier, the download folder) taints the session by origin, with no content analysis: for 30 minutes an upload, a memory-file write, an MCP or skill install, running an outside file, git push and sending a message notify by default, or ask or block by policy, and removing an origin mark always alerts. An optional quarantined reader gives the agent such a file only as a structured summary from a separate model with no tools. Files from outside taint the session →	20Critical	LLM01	ASI01	MCP06	AML.T0051AML.T0054AML.T0068partial	T1698full why T1698 Indirect Prompt Injection · full: override directives in fetched pages, files, command output, MCP results and sub-agent reports are scanned after the tool runs	CWE-1427	–	Tampering
4	Downloading malicious Skills, Plugins, or Extensions Add-ons & Tools Installing an AI browser add-on, an email-summary plugin, a document-writing Skill, or a Connector to enterprise systems. MoorAI guidance Do not download, install, or run any Skill, Plugin, Extension, Connector, or Agent Tool without organizational approval.	20Critical	LLM03	–	–	AML.T0053	T1195.001noneT1176.001none why T1195.001 Compromise Software Dependencies and Development Tools · none: coaching entry only; the runtime scan of auto-loaded skill files is credited on #60 T1176.001 Browser Extensions · none: MoorAI does not inventory or judge browser extensions it did not ship	CWE-829	CAPEC-698	Elevation of Privilege
5	Plugins with excessive permissions Add-ons & Tools An AI add-on requests access to email, files, calendar, Drive, Teams, CRM, or the browser. MoorAI guidance Do not approve broad permissions without review. If an add-on requests access it does not need, stop and report it.	20Critical	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053	no technique Over-broad plugin scopes are a configuration weakness, not an adversary technique.	CWE-250	–	Elevation of Privilege
6	Information exposure due to excessive permissions Permissions & Exposure An enterprise AI shows an employee documents they can technically access but that are not required for their role. MoorAI guidance Do not distribute information the AI displayed if it is unrelated to your role. Report unusual information exposure.	16High	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053	no technique An AI product surfacing documents a user may technically open is an authorisation gap, not an adversary technique.	CWE-732	–	Information Disclosure
7	Shadow AI Unapproved Tools Using a free AI website, a private tool, a browser add-on, or an unapproved bot for office work. MoorAI guidance Use only AI tools approved by the organization. Do not upload work documents to private tools.	20Critical	LLM03	–	–	AML.T0010	no technique Unsanctioned AI use by an employee is not an adversary technique; an unknown process calling an AI API is reported by the posture heartbeat, outside this rule.	–	–	Information Disclosure
8	Reliance on incorrect answers or hallucinations Information Reliability The AI fabricates a source, a legal clause, a financial figure, a customer name, or an incorrect professional recommendation. MoorAI guidance Verify facts, figures, names, dates, and sources before any business use.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Model error, not adversary behaviour.	–	–	Repudiation
9	Intellectual-property exposure Information & Privacy Uploading a roadmap, management deck, code, architecture, price quote, or product idea to an external AI tool. MoorAI guidance Do not enter intellectual property into unapproved tools. Use only an approved organizational environment.	15High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique A person sharing intellectual property with an AI tool is not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
10	AI-enhanced phishing Social Engineering A well-written, error-free email impersonating a manager, supplier, or customer. MoorAI guidance Do not treat polished wording as a sign of authenticity. Verify unusual requests through a second channel.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1566noneT1683.001none why T1566 Phishing · none: coaching only; MoorAI does not inspect inbound mail T1683.001 Written Content · none: the adversary's own content generation happens off the victim's devices	–	CAPEC-98	Spoofing
11	BEC, Business Email Compromise Social Engineering Impersonating a CEO, CFO, supplier, or customer to transfer money, change bank details, or send sensitive information. MoorAI guidance Do not make a payment, change bank details, or send sensitive information based on an email or chat alone. Verify through a separate, pre-known channel.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1657partialT1684.001none why T1657 Financial Theft · partial: bec-payment coaches when payment or bank-detail change wording reaches an AI tool; no sender or identity check T1684.001 Impersonation · none: the impersonation itself is not detected	–	CAPEC-195	Spoofing
12	Deepfake voice or video Social Engineering A phone call, voice message, or video that appears to come from a manager, supplier, customer, or known employee. MoorAI guidance Do not approve a sensitive action just because of a familiar voice or video. Re-verify via a known phone number or official channel.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1683.002noneT1684.001none why T1683.002 Audio-Visual Content · none: synthetic voice and video are not analysed T1684.001 Impersonation · none: impersonation by call or video reaches the person, not an agent	–	CAPEC-195CAPEC-656	Spoofing
13	AI-based Vishing and Smishing Social Engineering An SMS, WhatsApp, or voice message asking you to open a link, switch to another channel, or hand over login credentials. MoorAI guidance Do not click links or switch to an external channel on a suspicious request. Verify identity through an independent channel.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1566.004none why T1566.004 Spearphishing Voice · none: voice and SMS lures reach the person, not an agent	–	CAPEC-656CAPEC-164	Spoofing
14	Automatic action taken on the employee's behalf Agents & Permissions The AI sends an email, updates the CRM, deletes a file, opens a permission, or approves a business action. MoorAI guidance Do not approve sensitive automatic actions without human review. Actions involving money, customers, permissions, or data require approval.	15High	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053	no technique An agent acting for its user is the product working; the risky action classes are credited on #43, #47, #48 and #56.	–	–	Elevation of Privilege
15	Employee or customer privacy violation Information & Privacy Entering resumes, employee complaints, salary details, ID numbers, medical information, or customer details. MoorAI guidance Do not enter personal or sensitive information into AI tools without approval. Even 'just a summary' may count as exposure.	15High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique A privacy obligation, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
16	Bias and discrimination in outputs Ethics & Decision-Making The AI assists in screening candidates, evaluating employees, drafting feedback, or ranking customers. MoorAI guidance Do not use AI as the final decision on sensitive matters. Apply human review and ensure there is no bias or discrimination.	12High	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Output bias is not adversary behaviour.	–	–	Repudiation
17	Dangerous links, files, or scripts from AI output Output & Code The AI suggests opening a link, running a command, downloading a file, enabling a macro, or using a script. MoorAI guidance Do not run code, commands, macros, or files the AI generated without understanding them and reviewing security. In MoorAI for AI Servers, optional file scanning has the model proxy check every inline file, document and image a request carries with MetaDefender Cloud or VirusTotal before it goes upstream, by SHA-256 lookup or by opt-in upload; moorai-serve offers the same check at /v1/file-scan. A malicious file blocks the request or alerts by policy. File fields are read under every key case Ollama's parser accepts, and in enforce mode a request with a repeated key or two case variants of one field is refused. File scanning before the model →	15High	LLM05	–	–	AML.T0011	T1204.001partial why T1204.001 Malicious Link · partial: out-links warns on every link in a reply; it does not judge the destination (#75 does for deceptive ones)	–	–	Tampering
18	Sensitive data retained in an AI conversation Information & Privacy An employee accidentally uploads a sensitive document or keeps working in a conversation that already contains forbidden information. MoorAI guidance Stop using the conversation, delete the file if possible, do not keep processing the information, and report per organizational procedure.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Data retention in a conversation is a governance risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
19	AI Meeting Assistants and transcription of sensitive meetings Meetings & Sharing Adding an AI bot to a management meeting, hearing, legal discussion, HR, tender, or customer meeting. MoorAI guidance Do not enable AI transcription or summarization in sensitive meetings without approval. Notify participants of recording or transcription.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Meeting transcription by an approved assistant is a governance risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
20	Leakage via email and Teams/Slack thread summaries Meetings & Sharing The AI summarizes a long thread and includes internal information or information not meant for distribution. MoorAI guidance Before sending an AI-generated summary, read it in full, remove sensitive information, and confirm recipients are authorized.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Over-inclusive summaries are a governance risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
21	Knowledge-base poisoning / RAG Poisoning Data & Knowledge A SharePoint or Drive file looks innocent but contains misleading information or malicious instructions the AI will later retrieve. MoorAI guidance MoorAI scans content headed into a knowledge base or index before it is embedded and flags passages that address the AI, tell it to ignore other sources, force an answer or carry hidden instructions. Do not rely on an AI answer without checking the source. If the source is new, unfamiliar, or unofficial, do not use the answer and report it.	15High	LLM08	ASI06partial	–	AML.T0020	T1698partial why T1698 Indirect Prompt Injection · partial: rag-poisoning scans content headed into an index before it is embedded; content already indexed, or embedded without a MoorAI call, is not seen	CWE-1427	–	Tampering
22	Memory Poisoning Data & Knowledge Saving incorrect details, unapproved instructions, or externally-sourced information into an AI tool's memory. MoorAI guidance MoorAI flags an agent writing instructions into its own memory or auto-loaded instruction files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rules, skills) when they would send data out, hide something from you, skip a check, or override its rules in future sessions. Do not store organizational or personal information in AI memory without approval. Review what the tool remembers and delete incorrect or sensitive information. Skill Analysis labels a skill that orders the agent to append its own text to MEMORY.md, SOUL.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or a rules file, or does it with a shell append (persists-to-memory). Writes into those files are also watched under #84. Hidden instructions in rules files and skills →	12High	LLM04	ASI06partial	–	AML.T0080partial	no technique ATT&CK v20 has no technique for persistence through an agent's memory; ATLAS AML.T0080 covers it.	CWE-1427	CAPEC-75	Tampering
23	Excessive Agency Agents & Permissions An agent is granted permission to send emails, open tickets, update the CRM, order from suppliers, or access files without approval. MoorAI guidance Do not run an agent with independent action capability over money, customers, permissions, files, or business systems.	15High	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053	no technique Over-permissioned agent design is a configuration weakness, not an adversary technique.	CWE-250	–	Elevation of Privilege
24	Tool Misuse Agents & Permissions An AI connected to email, calendar, CRM, Jira, ServiceNow, or a finance system performs a wrong action due to misinterpretation. MoorAI guidance Do not approve connecting AI tools to enterprise systems without understanding what it can read and do. Prefer Read-Only.	15High	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053	no technique A tool misused through misinterpretation is not adversary behaviour; injected misuse is credited on #3, #40 and #59.	–	–	Elevation of Privilege
25	MCP / Connector Tool Poisoning Add-ons & Tools A connector or tool presents the AI with a misleading tool description, hidden parameters, or concealed instructions that cause an unwanted action. MoorAI guidance Use only organizationally-approved Connectors and MCP tools. Do not connect personal servers or tools. MoorAI's MCP guard and HTTP gateway compare each tool's description and schema with the version approved: a tool that changed, a tool added after approval, or a tool name a second server claims is reported, and with mcpToolDrift set to block it is removed from the agent's tool list and its calls are refused until an admin approves it again. The default reports the change and accepts it. MCP servers that change →	15High	LLM03	ASI04partial	MCP09partial	AML.T0110partialAML.T0109partial	T1195.001partial why T1195.001 Compromise Software Dependencies and Development Tools · partial: server allow-list, first-launch reputation and tool-drift quarantine bound which MCP servers an agent loads; a new malicious package with a clean name scores good	CWE-1427CWE-829	–	Elevation of Privilege
26	AI Account Takeover Identity & Access A personal or enterprise AI account is breached, and the attacker sees conversation history, uploaded files, and prompts. MoorAI guidance Enable MFA, do not reuse passwords, do not share AI accounts, and do not use a personal account for work.	15High	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0012	T1078.004none why T1078.004 Cloud Accounts · none: MoorAI does not see sign-ins to an AI provider; identity-provider territory	CWE-308	CAPEC-600	Spoofing
27	Leakage via conversation history and uploaded files Information & Privacy Information remains in the conversation, history, or workspace after a sensitive file was uploaded. MoorAI guidance Do not upload a sensitive file without approval. If uploaded by mistake, delete it if possible and report per procedure.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Data left in history or workspace is a governance risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
28	AI browser extensions with browser access Add-ons & Tools An AI add-on reads open pages, internal portals, HR systems, CRM, banking, or documents. MoorAI guidance Do not install an AI browser extension without approval. If an extension requests to read all sites or the clipboard, do not approve it.	20Critical	LLM03	–	–	AML.T0053	T1176.001none why T1176.001 Browser Extensions · none: MoorAI does not judge third-party browser extensions	CWE-250	–	Information Disclosure
29	Fake links and sources generated by AI Information Reliability The AI provides a link, ruling, standard, article, APA source, or clause number that does not exist. MoorAI guidance Do not insert a source into a business, legal, or professional document before opening and independently verifying it.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Fabricated sources are model error; adversary-planted answers are T1608.007, credited on #70.	–	–	Repudiation
30	AI-Generated Invoices Social Engineering A convincing invoice with the correct logo and a real supplier's wording, but with a small change to the bank details. MoorAI guidance Any change to bank details, an unusual invoice, or an urgent payment request must be verified through a pre-known channel.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1683.001none why T1683.001 Written Content · none: generated invoices are not inspected and bank details are not verified	–	CAPEC-195	Spoofing
31	Synthetic Identity of suppliers or candidates Identity & Access A candidate's or supplier's resume, profile photo, references, voice, or video are AI-generated. MoorAI guidance Do not rely on documents, video, or a profile alone. Verify identity, domain, company, and independent sources.	12High	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	T1683.002none why T1683.002 Audio-Visual Content · none: synthetic personas, photos and voices are not analysed	–	–	Spoofing
32	AI-Assisted Malware - dangerous code, macros, and scripts Output & Code An employee asks the AI to create an Excel formula, PowerShell, macro, or script and runs it without understanding its impact. MoorAI guidance Do not run AI-generated code on a corporate machine without review. Code that deletes, downloads, or sends information requires technical review.	15High	LLM05	–	–	AML.T0011	T1204.004partialT1677partial why T1204.004 Malicious Copy and Paste · partial: out-code-exec flags runnable code and risky commands in a reply (code fences, PowerShell, curl to a shell) before a person pastes them; the terminal is not watched T1677 Poisoned Pipeline Execution · partial: a Write/Edit into a CI/CD config adding a fetch-to-shell step, a pipeline-secret exfiltration, or a pull_request_target trigger; report-only	–	–	Elevation of Privilege
33	Data Residency - processing in an unapproved country Information & Privacy Using an external tool that uploads documents to an unknown cloud or processes data outside organizational policy. MoorAI guidance Use only organizationally-approved tools. Do not enter personal, customer, or internal documents into an unapproved tool.	12High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Data residency is a governance obligation, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
34	Misleading Translation Information Reliability The AI translates a contract, legal email, tender document, or business commitment and alters a critical term. MoorAI guidance Do not treat an AI translation as a binding document without professional human review.	12High	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Model error, not adversary behaviour.	–	–	Repudiation
35	Overconfidence in an AI answer Information Reliability An authoritative tone leads the employee to stop checking data, assumptions, and sources. MoorAI guidance Treat an AI answer as a draft only. For money, legal, HR, security, or customer matters, perform independent verification.	20Critical	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Human over-reliance, not adversary behaviour.	–	–	Repudiation
36	Cross-Context Leakage Information & Privacy Working in the same AI conversation on Customer A and then Customer B, and the AI mixes information across the contexts. MoorAI guidance Open a separate conversation for each customer, project, or sensitive topic. Do not mix documents from different customers in the same conversation.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Context mixing inside one conversation is model behaviour, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
37	Unauthorized AI Sharing - sharing output with excess information Meetings & Sharing Sharing a prompt, screenshot, or AI answer that includes internal information that went unnoticed. MoorAI guidance Before sharing a screenshot or AI output, check that it contains no customer names, internal data, links, or tokens.	16High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique Over-sharing an AI answer is a governance risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
38	AI Cost Abuse Operations & Costs Uploading huge files, running agents in a loop, or using an expensive tool with no business need. MoorAI guidance Use AI according to business need. Do not run massive processing, automations, or agents without approval.	9Medium	LLM10	ASI02partial	–	AML.T0034	T1496.004none why T1496.004 Cloud Service Hijacking · none: LLMjacking runs stolen keys from the adversary's own infrastructure, which no hook sees; the circuit breaker stops a looping agent, not a hijacker	CWE-770	–	Denial of Service
39	Secret / credential exposure Information & Privacy An API key, access token, private key, JWT, or DB connection string (GitHub, AWS, Stripe, Slack, GCP, OpenAI/Anthropic, and more) is about to be sent to the AI. MoorAI guidance Never send a live secret to an AI tool. Remove or redact it before the prompt leaves; if it was already exposed, rotate it. MoorAI blocks or masks the span on the device.	20Critical	LLM02	–	MCP01partial	AML.T0057	T1552.008partialT1697partial why T1552.008 Chat Messages · partial: secret detectors keep a credential out of the AI conversation, where T1552.008 would collect it; the provider's chat store is not watched T1697 Steal Application Specific Passwords · partial: an application-specific password read, typed or sent through an agent, a tool or a model call is kept out of the AI conversation	CWE-201	–	Information Disclosure
40	Second-Order Prompt Injection Prompt Injection A malicious instruction enters a service form or support ticket, and later another agent with high permissions reads it and acts on it. MoorAI guidance If the AI derives a task from external content, do not approve it automatically. Tasks from an email, form, or website require human review. Skill Analysis labels the ways a skill or instruction file hides a directive from the person installing it: padding (60 or more blank lines before content), an HTML comment holding a command, beacon, URL to call or order to the agent, and concealment wording such as “do not tell the user” beside a risky action. The detectors also read a view of the text with zero-width characters next to letters removed, Unicode tag characters decoded and blank runs collapsed.

41	Legal / contract language Advisory & Guidance Drafting, reviewing, or pasting contract or legal text into the AI. MoorAI guidance This looks like contract or legal text. AI output is not legal advice — have qualified legal counsel review it before you finalize, sign, or share it.	9Medium	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Legal drafting guidance, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Repudiation
42	Employee relations / PIP Advisory & Guidance Drafting a performance improvement plan (PIP), warning, disciplinary letter, hearing, or termination. MoorAI guidance This involves an employee-relations or performance action (e.g. a PIP, warning, hearing, or termination). AI output is not HR or legal advice — involve HR and qualified legal counsel before documenting, sending, or acting on it.	9Medium	LLM09	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique HR drafting guidance, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Repudiation
43	Destructive command execution Output & Code An agent runs an irreversible, high-impact shell or DB command (rm -rf, git push --force, DROP DATABASE/TABLE, disk format, shadow-copy or snapshot deletion, mass delete) before a human reviews it. MoorAI guidance This prompt would have the agent run a destructive, hard-to-reverse command (e.g. rm -rf, force-push, DROP TABLE/DATABASE, format, deleting shadow copies or snapshots). Review the exact command and require explicit human approval before it runs.	6High	LLM05	ASI02partial	–	AML.T0101	T1485partialT1561partialT1490partial why T1485 Data Destruction · partial: destructive-command matches rm -rf, DROP DATABASE/TABLE, force-push and mass delete issued through the agent's shell T1561 Disk Wipe · partial: disk format and raw-device overwrite (mkfs, dd to a device) T1490 Inhibit System Recovery · partial: shadow-copy, boot-recovery, Windows Server Backup, Time Machine, APFS, zfs, ESXi and cloud snapshot or recovery-point deletion via the agent's shell; stopping a backup service is not matched	–	–	Elevation of Privilege
44	Protected health information (HIPAA / PHI) Information & Privacy A prompt contains patient health data — diagnoses, medical record numbers (MRN), prescriptions, ICD-10 codes, NPI/DEA, or health-insurance identifiers. MoorAI guidance This prompt appears to contain protected health information (PHI). Do not send patient health data, medical records, diagnoses, or insurance identifiers to the AI — redact it or use an approved, BAA-covered workflow.	6High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0057	no technique A health-data obligation, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Information Disclosure
45	Copyright / license contamination Advisory & Guidance The AI reproduces a large verbatim block of licensed or copyrighted code (e.g. a GPL/AGPL file, a copyright header, or 'All rights reserved' source), or such code is pasted into a prompt. MoorAI guidance This looks like licensed or copyrighted source (e.g. GPL/AGPL, a copyright header). Pasting it into or accepting it from the AI can create license-contamination or IP risk — confirm the license and provenance before you reuse it.	9Medium	LLM05	–	–	AML.T0048	no technique Licence contamination is a legal risk, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Repudiation

Any one is safe; together they are the classic prompt-injection data-exfiltration setup.

MoorAI guidance Screen AI-generated code for injection-prone patterns before committing. Use parameterized queries, safe DOM APIs, avoid eval / shell=True on untrusted input, and prefer vetted crypto + safe deserializers. Screening runs on-device; only a content-free verdict (rule id + severity + one-way hash, plus the login and hostname, which the console pseudonymises on arrival) is reported.	16High	LLM05	ASI05partial	–	AML.T0011	no technique Vulnerable code the agent writes is a defect, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Tampering

MoorAI guidance Do not install packages an agent names without verifying they exist and are the intended, popular package. MoorAI flags install commands whose package name typosquats a known-popular package or looks hallucinated — content-free, matched on the name only.	16High	LLM03	ASI05partial	–	AML.T0060partial	T1195.001partialT1204.005partial why T1195.001 Compromise Software Dependencies and Development Tools · partial: install-time offline check of the package name against known-bad and near-miss lists; a novel malicious name passes T1204.005 Malicious Library · partial: the agent's install command is the user-execution step; judged by name only	CWE-829	CAPEC-185	Tampering

MoorAI guidance Restrict which model endpoints agents may use to an approved allow-list. MoorAI flags base-URL overrides and direct calls to LLM endpoints not on your organization's allow-list — host-level, content-free.	15High	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0024	T1567partial why T1567 Exfiltration Over Web Service · partial: a model base-URL override or a direct call to a non-approved model provider, judged by host	CWE-15	CAPEC-13	Information Disclosure
67	Transit interception (proxy / CA environment injection) Data Exposure An attacker with no special privileges sets HTTPS_PROXY and NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS (or SSL_CERT_FILE / REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE) on the agent process. The destination is unchanged — the agent still connects to its approved provider — but every request now transits an interceptor that reads the prompt, the generated code, and the API key in cleartext. Because the injected CA makes the forged certificate legitimately trusted, the client reports the connection as verified and nothing appears wrong. MoorAI guidance Treat proxy and CA-trust environment overrides as egress-affecting configuration, not developer convenience. MoorAI's hook reads the agent's own environment on every call and every shell command the agent runs for these overrides (decideTransit); it reports by host and variable NAME only, content-free, once per session for the environment, and denies an unsanctioned proxy when policy.transitAllow is set.

64	Agent entitlement drift (out-of-scope action) Agents & Permissions An agent takes an action outside its declared authorized envelope — reads a directory, calls a tool or MCP server, or reaches an endpoint it was never scoped for — the signal that a correctly-permissioned agent has quietly turned into a breach. MoorAI guidance Declare each agent's authorized scope (tools, paths, MCP servers, endpoints) and alert or block when observed behavior drifts from it. MoorAI compares actions against the policy's entitlement envelope — content-free (names/paths only, never content). Task-bound tool calls hold a high-impact call (an MCP write, a money, identity, bulk-data, destructive or delegation function, a function whose name carries a write verb, or a tool the policy names) to the person's request: its target must be named there, reported by default and asked or blocked by policy. For a task an admin lists, only the listed tools and argument values pass and unlisted arguments are denied. They run in the model proxy, moorai-serve, the Agent SDK and the endpoint hook on MCP calls, and keep only keyed hashes of the task.

65	Local secret value egress Data Exposure A value from a local secret store (project .env, cloud credentials) appears verbatim in an outbound command, MCP tool argument, or prompt — the agent is about to ship a real secret off the device. MoorAI guidance Block outbound flows that carry a known local secret value. MoorAI fingerprints local secret values on-device (one-way hash) and matches them against egress — only the hash and a verdict ever leave (plus the login and hostname, which the console pseudonymises on arrival), never the value.	15Critical	LLM02	ASI02partial	MCP01partial	AML.T0024AML.T0086partial	T1700partial why T1700 AI-Enabled Exfiltration · partial: a local secret value appearing verbatim in an outbound command, MCP argument or prompt; non-secret data is not fingerprinted	CWE-201	–	Information Disclosure

The bytes never appear in the rendered file, so a person reviewing the file does not see them while a model that reads the metadata does.

MoorAI guidance Halt and review before an agent edits its own history. The transcript is the record of what the agent did, and an agent (or an instruction it ingested) that rewrites it is covering its tracks. Keep transcripts out of the agent's write scope and archive them yourself.	8Medium	LLM06	ASI06partial	MCP08partial	AML.T0092partial	T1070partialT1070.003partialT1690partial why T1070 Indicator Removal · partial: delete, truncate or rewrite of the agent's own transcript and prompt-history stores; shell history (T1070.003) is not covered T1070.003 Clear Command History · partial: history -c, Clear-History, and deletion or truncation of ~/.bash_history, ~/.zsh_history, fish_history or the PSReadLine file through the agent's shell T1690 Prevent Command History Logging · partial: session logging turned off: set +o history, unset HISTFILE, HISTFILE=/dev/null, a zero HISTSIZE/SAVEHIST, or PSReadLine HistorySaveStyle SaveNothing	–	CAPEC-268	Repudiation

76	Unsafe AI model loading Add-ons & Tools The agent loads a downloaded model with a loader that runs code from the file — torch.load(..., weights_only=False), pickle/joblib/dill of a model from a URL or the Downloads folder, numpy allow_pickle=True, Keras safe_mode=False, or trust_remote_code=True. MoorAI guidance Load downloaded models only in weight-only formats. A pickle-based load of an untrusted file executes whatever the file contains. Model provenance pinning lets an administrator list the SHA-256 of each approved model file and report, ask or block anything else: an agent's llama.cpp, vllm serve, ollama run or ollama create, Python loads of a local path, and the background download and store scans, which mark an unpinned file not-approved. An Ollama blob is checked against its own hash, never its name. A pin never overrides a static finding.

77	AI model or dataset collection Data Exposure The agent archives model weights or datasets — ~/.cache/huggingface, ~/.ollama/models, .safetensors, .gguf — into a temp directory, pipes them into an upload, copies them to a remote host or bucket, or pushes them to a model hub.

78	Data sent to an out-of-band collection host Data Exposure The agent sends data to a public request-capture or OAST service whose purpose is to record what reaches it for someone else to read: a POST, an upload, a query string or a substituted value to webhook.site, an interactsh host (.oast.fun, .oast.pro, interact.sh), Burp Collaborator (.oastify.com, .burpcollaborator.net), a Pipedream endpoint (*.m.pipedream.net), Request Catcher, Beeceptor or a Canarytokens hostname. MoorAI guidance Stop the call. Data is about to reach a public collection endpoint, which is how a backdoored or injected agent ships what it collected. Confirm who owns the endpoint before anything is sent.	12High	LLM02	ASI02partial	–	AML.T0086partial	T1567.004partialT1048.003partial why T1567.004 Exfiltration Over Webhook · partial: data sent to webhook.site, Pipedream and other public request-capture hosts T1048.003 Exfiltration Over Unencrypted Non-C2 Protocol · partial: data carried in a DNS lookup to interactsh-style OAST hosts	–	–	Information Disclosure
79	Out-of-band collection host contacted Data Exposure The agent contacts a public request-capture or OAST service with no data attached: a plain GET, a DNS lookup or a ping of an interactsh, Burp Collaborator, webhook.site, Pipedream, Request Catcher, Beeceptor or Canarytokens host. On its own it can be a test; it is also the call that tells an attacker their payload ran. MoorAI guidance Review why the agent is contacting a public collection endpoint. A callback with no payload is how an attacker confirms code execution before sending data.	6Medium	LLM02	–	–	AML.T0086partial	T1016.001partial why T1016.001 Internet Connection Discovery · partial: a bare GET, DNS lookup or ping to a known request-capture host	–	–	Information Disclosure
80	Repository cloned and run in one command Add-ons & Tools The agent clones a repository (git clone, gh repo clone) or downloads and unpacks an archive, and the same command then runs that checkout's install or start scripts: `git clone <repo> && cd <repo> && pnpm install && pnpm start`, `make`, `./install.sh`, `python setup.py install`, `pip install .`. Code nobody has reviewed runs straight from the network. MoorAI guidance Review where the repository comes from before its scripts run. Building from source is everyday developer work, so this is report-only by default; it is also how an instruction planted in a README or skill file gets an agent to run an attacker's repository instead of the official package.	9Medium	LLM03	ASI05partial	–	AML.T0010partial	T1195.001partial why T1195.001 Compromise Software Dependencies and Development Tools · partial: a cloned repository's install or start scripts run in the same command (notify mode)	CWE-494	CAPEC-185	Tampering
84	Weakening oversight Agents & Permissions While doing ordinary work, the agent weakens the project's own oversight: it sets an alert, notification or paging suppression flag, empties an alert recipient list or on-call route, removes or comments out monitor, alerting, audit-log or telemetry wiring, deletes a monitoring regression test or rewrites it to assert the monitor is absent, or sets a config key or env var that turns monitoring off. A sub-agent can make the change and the parent report the task complete without mentioning it. MoorAI guidance Review why the agent is changing monitoring, alerting, audit logging or a safety test before it goes through. An instruction such as "don't send messages" is not permission to silence the alerts that watch the work, and a change to match a reference path is not permission to remove a monitor. MoorAI judges the agent's own Write, Edit and MultiEdit calls (the file before and after), its Bash and PowerShell commands and an MCP filesystem server's write, edit and move tools, and flags the change, never a mention. It asks by default and can be routed to an approver; a signed policy can declare oversight paths and keys that are always judged; and on Claude Code, at Stop, the agent's final message is checked for whether it states the change. A sub-agent's change is judged like the main agent's. The agent's own instruction and memory files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rules and memory folders) are watched with no policy: a write raises an alert with no prompt. Indirect writes are read too (cp, mv, install, rsync, curl -o, wget, dd, git checkout and restore, patch, tee, sed -i, heredocs), with long options read as each tool reads them; a command that cannot be parsed is held, and a write whose target is known only at run time (a variable, a server-named download, an ambiguous option, a work tree or config set from the environment) raises write-target-unknown.

85	Trust boundary changed without a threat-model update Output & Code While doing ordinary work, the agent changes where the system's trust boundaries are: it adds an external dependency to a manifest or installs one, adds an outbound call to a host the code never contacted, starts reading a new secret env var or credential file, or registers a new HTTP route. The repository keeps a threat model as code, and the same change does not update it, so the next review works from a model that no longer matches the system. MoorAI guidance Review the change against the project's threat model before it ships: a new dependency, outbound host, credential path or HTTP route is a change in what the system trusts and exposes. Update the model in the same change, or record why the change does not need it. MoorAI reads the agent's own edits and installs for a new dependency, outbound host, credential path or HTTP route. In a repository that keeps a threat model as code, a turn that makes such a change without updating the model raises one content-free alert at Stop, with the signal kinds and a count, never a path, package or host. On Claude Code a signed policy can also send the agent back to update the model or say why it does not need one.	9Medium	LLM06	–	–	AML.T0053partial	no technique An agent changing a trust boundary in code it writes without updating the threat model is a review gap, not an adversary technique.	–	–	Elevation of Privilege
86	Data uploaded to public cloud storage Data Exposure The agent uploads data with a raw HTTP client to a public object-storage bucket or a pre-signed URL: `curl -X PUT --data-binary … https://<bucket>.oss-<region>.aliyuncs.com/…`, `curl -T file https://<bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com/…`, an Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2, Tencent COS or Huawei OBS endpoint, or a URL carrying a signature (X-Amz-Signature, OSSAccessKeyId, an Azure SAS sig=). A download from a bucket is not an upload. MoorAI guidance Review where the data is going before it is sent. Anyone holding the bucket or the signed URL reads back what lands there, which makes a bucket the agent picked itself an exfiltration drop; uploading to your own bucket is ordinary work, so this is report-only by default. A policy raises it to ask or block (threatPolicy 86). It reads curl, wget and Invoke-WebRequest uploads (a body, -T or a non-GET method) to S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Alibaba OSS, Cloudflare R2, Tencent COS, Huawei OBS, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2 and Wasabi endpoints, and to any pre-signed URL. A download, signed or not, is not flagged, and uploads through the providers' own CLIs (aws s3 cp, gsutil cp, az storage blob upload, rclone) are outside the rule.

88	AI agent launched or installed by an agent Agents & Permissions The agent starts another AI agent outside the conversation's own sub-agent tooling, or installs or schedules one: a headless agent CLI (claude -p, codex exec, gemini -p, aider --yes, cursor-agent, opencode run, goose run), an agent CLI installed with npm, pip or brew, or an agent run registered as a cron job, launchd agent, systemd unit or scheduled task. MoorAI guidance Review why the agent is deploying another agent. A second agent started from a shell runs with its own permissions and none of the parent's approvals, and a scheduled one keeps running after the session ends. Reports by default; a policy raises it to ask or block (threatPolicy 88). It reads Bash and PowerShell commands the way the shell runs them: an agent CLI run non-interactively (claude -p, codex exec, gemini -p, aider --message, cursor-agent -p, opencode run, goose run, also through npx or uvx), a global agent CLI install or a vendor install script that is run, and a cron, launchd, systemd, at or Windows scheduled-task run of one. An interactive claude, an agent in a container image and a CI workflow file are outside the rule.

89	Local model server reachable without MoorAI Permissions & Exposure A local model server (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM) listens on a port any local process can open, or on every interface, with no authentication. Any program on the machine, or on the network for a non-loopback bind, can run the models without passing MoorAI's model proxy. MoorAI guidance Bind the server to loopback and reach it through MoorAI's model proxy, or let only the proxy's account reach its port. The daily posture scan reads the device's listening sockets and reports each local model server (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM) that any local process can connect to or that is bound beyond loopback, as runtime, port and bind class only. A loopback server only MoorAI's model proxy can reach is not reported. Whether other hosts can reach a server is not measured, and AI services elsewhere on the network are not seen.

What leaves the machine. MoorAI matches these rules on the developer's machine and reports only a category, a risk verdict and a one-way hash (plus the login and hostname, which the console pseudonymises on arrival) — never the prompt, the code or the matched text. The mapping above is how each rule lines up with the public standards; the compliance crosswalk shows how MoorAI's shipped controls line up with ISO 42001, the NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act and AIUC-1.
