</context>

<task>
Scan the entire repository for critical and high severity vulnerabilities. Map every finding to:
1. MITRE ATT&CK technique ID (Enterprise v14+)
2. NIST CSF 2.0 control (e.g., PR.DS-1)
3. D3FEND countermeasure ID
4. Exploitability score (CVSS v4.0)

Do not include findings below CVSS 7.0 in the first pass.
</task>

<output_format>
Markdown table: file:line | technique | NIST control | CVSS | one-line fix recommendation | rollback risk (low/med/high)
Followed by a 5 bullet executive summary aimed at a non-technical board member.
</output_format>

<constraints>
- Never invent a CVE number. If unsure, write "CWE candidate only".
- Do not auto-patch. Recommendations only on first pass.
- Skip vendored dependencies on first pass (note them separately).
</constraints>

<review_gate>
Before delivering: confirm at least one finding has a confirmed exploit path through user input. Posts without a real attack path get downgraded to advisory.

</task>

<output_format>
Inline comments format. Then a single bottom-line verdict.
</output_format>

<constraints>
- Block only on real risk, not style.
- Do not approve a payments diff without explicit confirmation of idempotency and audit logging.

2. Injects every 10 minutes (legal, PR, technical, customer)
3. Decision points with no obviously right answer
4. Score sheet (decision quality, communication, control activation)
5. Post-exercise debrief template with NIST CSF 2.0 function mapping
</task>

<output_format>
Facilitator script + participant brief (separate). Inject cards on their own pages.
</output_format>

<constraints>
- Inject pressure should match audience seniority. Avoid technical depth bombs at board level.
- Every decision point references a real control gap the org can close after the exercise.
</constraints>

<review_gate>
At least one inject must force a "go public now or wait for facts" decision under time pressure.

</task>

<output_format>
Risk matrix. Top 10 highest-risk components with one paragraph each.
End with a "remove or pin or sponsor" recommendation per top 10 entry.
</output_format>

<constraints>
- Never recommend removing a transitive dependency without identifying its parent.
- Pin recommendations must include a verified hash.

Model provider: {{PROVIDER}}
System prompt: {{SYSTEM_PROMPT_PASTE}}
Tools the model can call: {{TOOLS}}
Data the model can access: {{DATA_SCOPES}}
</context>

<task>
Generate 25 adversarial test cases across:
1. Direct injection (override system prompt)
2. Indirect injection (via tool output, document, email)
3. Tool misuse (chain calls to exfiltrate or destroy)
4. Privilege escalation (use one tool to escalate scope of another)
5. Jailbreak (refuse-bypass for harmful outputs)
6. Data leakage (extract training data, customer PII from context)

For each: expected refusal pattern, observed result template, severity if exploited, ATT&CK ATLAS technique ID.
</task>

<output_format>
Test case table. Then a runner script template (Python or bash) the team can execute weekly.
</output_format>

<constraints>
- No real PII or credentials in test cases. Use synthetic markers.
- Do not generate test cases that produce actually harmful content. Use placeholders.
</constraints>

<review_gate>
At least 5 test cases must target indirect injection via tool output. That is the modern attack surface.
