AI Prompt Injection & Goal Hijack
Detects direct prompt-injection / goal-hijack attempts in AI/LLM input: imperative phrases that try to override higher-priority (system) instructions, change the model's role or goal, or bypass approval guardrails (OWASP LLM01). Phrase detection is corroborated by AI-context markers.

- Confidence justification
- Medium: overt injection phrases are a strong signal but appear verbatim in security-training material and QA/test content (the named FP traps). Confidence is raised only with AI-context corroboration and template/sample exclusion; paraphrased or multi-turn injection will evade this seed and is covered by the hybrid detection approach.
