MITRE ATLAS 2026 Top AI Detection: LLM Prompt Self-Replicating Worm Pattern (AML.T0061)

Detects Large Language Model (LLM) responses that contain instructions designed to propagate the current prompt to other users, systems, or agents. This pattern is indicative of a self-replicating prompt worm, which aims to spread malicious instructions across an AI ecosystem by leveraging the model's ability to generate text that instructs subsequent interactions.
