About

Detects a GenAI user message that a security_ai classifier scores as high-confidence prompt injection. The rule requires a high prediction from one of four models: instruction override, encoding, word obfuscation, or hash string. ES|QL COMPLETION then reviews the message and drops likely false positives before an alert is created.

False Positive Examples
Benign base64 examples, git commit SHAs, and ordinary requests can still score above 0.98. The completion step is expected to label those FP. An alert means the completion model confirmed the message as a jailbreak, prompt injection, or obfuscated payload.
