target: INJECT.md reference target — undefended (our own mock, run 2026-09-04)
2/100
Share of machine-scorable payloads the target resisted. Excludes rows requiring human review.

Gate consequential tools behind explicit allow-lists and human approval that the model cannot assert its way past. Scope file and network access to the task, and never treat a claimed prior approval as an approval.
Do not auto-render model-authored URLs, images or links. Strip or allow-list outbound hosts in rendered output — the rendered side-channel is the leak, not the text itself.
Treat the user turn as untrusted data, not instruction. Keep privileged instructions out of the same channel, and never let the model's own assertion of authority change what it is allowed to do.
Structurally separate the model that READS untrusted content from the model that ACTS. The reader gets no tools and no secrets; it returns structured facts. This is the single highest-value fix in this report.
Do not rely on pattern matching against literal attack strings — encoding, homoglyphs and language pivots defeat it. Normalise input, and gate on capability rather than on detecting the phrasing of the request.
