aatmf-t09-multimodal

aatmf-t09-multimodal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 44 tokens per session (931 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to testing AI systems that process images, audio, video, or documents alongside text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check for hidden instructions in images, audio recordings, video frames, document text, and other cross-channel inputs.
Why use it?
It exposes attacks that can hide instructions in non-text inputs and cause an AI system to misread or follow them.

About the project

Decepticon is an autonomous red-team agent that coordinates AI agents, security tools, sandboxes, and supporting services for authorized cybersecurity assessments. Security researchers and red teams can run it through its Docker stack, cloud service, command-line interface, or Python SDK, with the catalogue entries representing its available skills.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high YARA Match · line 14
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
  • high Prompt Injection · line 26
    This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Remove or rewrite any text that instructs the agent to ignore prompts, override safety rules, or trust unverified content. Ensure skill content cannot be injected to alter agent behavior.
  • high Anti-Refusal · line 52
    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

aatmf-t09-multimodal scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

Test pattern: upload an image with hidden text "Ignore previous instructions and..." → check if model acts on it.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

T9 — Multimodal & Cross-Channel

Attacks leveraging modalities beyond text — vision, audio, video. The attack surface widens significantly when the LLM processes non-textual inputs.

Techniques

T9.001 — Image-embedded prompt injection

Embed text in an image that the vision-LLM OCRs:

  • Plain text overlaid on a photo (white text on white background, small font)
  • Adversarial-example perturbation steered toward specific text recognition
  • EXIF metadata fields parsed by some pipelines
  • Image filename containing instructions (if model considers filenames)

Test pattern: upload an image with hidden text "Ignore previous instructions and..." → check if model acts on it.

T9.002 — Audio prompt injection

Voice-input LLMs transcribe audio → LLM processes transcript:

  • Ultrasonic-frequency audio that transcribes to attacker text
  • Voice that doesn't sound like text but transcribes weirdly
  • Conversation overheard in background incorporated into transcript

T9.003 — Video-frame injection

Same as image but in video context — most LLMs sample frames:

  • Single frame at frame N contains attacker instruction
  • Cumulative frames build instruction across timeline
  • Frame between sampling points may be hidden

T9.004 — Document-with-hidden-text

PDF/DOCX with text colored white-on-white or invisible:

  • Plain layer text
  • Watermark text
  • Hidden font
  • Comments / metadata in DOCX XML

T9.005 — Adversarial-example image (model fooling)

Imperceptible perturbations engineered to make vision-LLM:

  • Misidentify content (cat → dog) — useful for content-moderation bypass
  • Recognize phantom text not visible to human
  • Skip safety filtering applied to original content

Generated via projected gradient descent against the target model.

T9.006 — Cross-modal injection chain

  • User uploads image
  • Image contains text-injection
  • LLM processes image, follows injected instructions
  • Instructions tell LLM to fetch a URL (using tool)
  • URL response contains further instructions
  • ...

aatmf-t09-multimodal is a skill published in the GitHub repository PurpleAILAB/Decepticon (5,471 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 931 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (instruction-override phrasing). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
