Description

prompt_injection_instruction_override rule catches override attacks but a related pattern is priming style attacks where the attacker injects new instructions without explicitly overriding old ones

  • New instructions: <attack>
  • Updated instructions: <attack>
  • System update: <attack>

this needs to be its own rule because it doesn't fix the override regex shape
