AIRA-001 — Dalaran

Rule definition

# OWASP: indirect content → high-risk shell execution (proximity-bounded)

meta:
  name: web_fetch then risky exec
  severity: high
  action: block
  description: >
    Hard block when a recent web_fetch precedes a pending exec with high-risk shell
    patterns (pipe-to-shell, run fetched script, chmod+execute). Proximity-bounded
    (max_gap) to avoid poisoning long sessions after a one-off doc fetch. Benign
    fetch→exec chains route to AIRA-058 (soft review + L3).
