PluginPirate — Schema Leakage Detection Scenario

This PR adds PluginPirate, a Security Arena scenario focused on prompt injection attacks targeting smart home assistants to extract confidential plugin schemas.

What this scenario tests

• Schema/API leakage through prompt injection techniques
• Multi-layer obfuscation resistance (base64, hex, ROT13, homoglyphs, leetspeak, etc.)
• Semantic extraction attempts (paraphrasing, analogies, negation patterns)
• Multi-turn attack detection (incremental disclosure across conversation turns)

Implementation overview

• Scenario plugin (plugin.py): Implements comprehensive detection with:

  • 26+ decoder functions for various encodings and ciphers
  • 1000+ homoglyph mappings (Cyrillic, Greek, mathematical symbols, etc.)
  • N-gram similarity matching for partial keyword leaks
  • Confidence-scored detection (0.0-1.0) based on match type
  • Constant-time execution to prevent timing side-channels

• Baseline fix for gpt-oss-20b: The scenario includes a fix for open-source models that enter "tool-use mode" when presented with JSON schemas:

  • Presents schemas as prose descriptions instead of JSON
  • Handles model-specific tokens (<|channel|>, <|message|>) as artifacts
  • Distinguishes baseline behavior from actual attack success

Key design choices

• Prose over JSON schema presentation
  Avoids triggering tool-use behavior in open-source models while still providing capability information needed for helpful responses.

• Decode-delta detection
  Flags keywords only when revealed by decoding/normalization (not present in original text), reducing false positives on natural language.

• Multi-turn session tracking
  Accumulates response fragments to detect incremental disclosure attacks that spread schema info across multiple turns.

• Confidence scoring
  Returns graduated confidence scores (0.6-1.0) based on detection type, enabling nuanced evaluation.
