1. PROMPT INJECTION (LLM01)
   Attaquant injecte payload via document RAG, email, ou direct.
 
2. AGENT INTERPRÉTÉ COMME LÉGITIME
   Agent traite l'instruction injectée comme requête légitime.
 
3. EXCESSIVE FUNCTIONALITY EXPLOITÉE
   Agent utilise un tool qui n'aurait pas dû être disponible.
 
4. EXCESSIVE PERMISSIONS EXPLOITÉES
   Tool exécute action avec privilèges trop larges.
 
5. EXCESSIVE AUTONOMY EXPLOITÉE
   Action exécutée sans HITL.
 
6. IMPACT
   Exfiltration, manipulation, action frauduleuse.
