Stage 3 - Prompting the model.



The prompt, the parser, and the model registry. **The prompt and the parser are lifted verbatim

from Part B** (Final_Project_Evaluation_V1.ipynb, cells 48-49): same system message, same closed

family list in the same order, same brace-counting parser, same greedy decoding, same 4-bit NF4

quantisation. A reworded prompt is a different experiment, and the measured F1 would no longer

apply to this app.



The registry is the only place a model is named. Every field in a `ModelSpec` is a per-model

difference Part B actually ran into.

# a flagged file finds the thing the paragraph describes.

FAMILY_NOTES = {
    "llm_prompt_injection":
        "LLM prompt injections work by hiding a written instruction inside the PDF - in the "
        "metadata, or in an annotation sized so small that no human ever sees it. When someone "
        "feeds the file to an AI assistant, the assistant reads that hidden text along with "
        "everything else and follows it. This is dangerous because the attacker is now giving "
        "orders to a tool that the victim trusts and has given access to their files, their inbox "
        "or their code - and nothing looked wrong on the page.",
    "javascript_injection":
        "JavaScript injections put code in a `/JavaScript` action, which a PDF viewer runs the "
        "moment the file is opened. The code is usually obfuscated, so the file carries a string "
        "of hex or character codes rather than anything readable. This is dangerous because it "
        "needs no click and no mistake by the reader: opening the document is the whole attack, "
        "and the code runs with whatever the viewer is allowed to do.",
    "object_action_injection":
        "Object and action injections use a `/Launch` action pointing at a program - typically "
        "`cmd.exe` with a command attached. Opening the document asks the operating system to run "
        "something rather than to display a page. This is dangerous because it steps outside the "
        "PDF viewer entirely: whatever the command does happens with the user's own permissions, "
        "and a PDF is the last place most people expect a program to start.",
    "shellcode_embedded_exe":
        "Embedded-executable payloads carry a real Windows program inside the PDF, recognisable "
        "by the `MZ` header that starts every .exe, stored as an attachment named something "
        "ordinary. This is dangerous because the PDF becomes a delivery envelope: it passes the "
        "mail filter as a document, and the malware only has to be extracted and double-clicked "
        "by someone who thinks they are opening a file the sender meant to attach.",
    "ransomware_simulation":
        "Ransomware payloads combine code that runs on open with an on-page notice announcing "
        "that files have been encrypted and demanding payment. This is dangerous because of what "
        "the code does before the notice appears - by the time the message is read, the work it "
        "describes is finished. The samples in this corpus are harmless simulations built from "
        "public test material, shaped exactly like the real thing so a detector can be measured.",
    "cross_site_scripting":
        "Cross-site scripting hides a `<script>` tag where a web address belongs, in a link "
        "annotation. This is dangerous because PDFs are increasingly opened inside browsers and "
        "web applications rather than desktop readers: a viewer that renders that link as HTML "
        "runs the attacker's script inside the page, where it can reach the session, the cookies "
        "and anything else that page is trusted with.",
    "uri_redirect_phishing":
        "Redirect phishing places a link annotation over the entire page and points it at an "
        "attacker's site, usually with an identifying token attached. This is dangerous because "
        "there is nothing to avoid clicking - any click anywhere in the document opens the link, "
        "and the destination is a login page that looks like one the reader already trusts.",
    "ssrf":
        "Server-side request forgery aims a URI action at an address only the server can reach - "
        "classically `169.254.169.254`, the cloud metadata service. This is dangerous when the "
        "PDF is processed by a machine rather than a person: a thumbnail generator or preview "
        "service that follows the link fetches its own host's credentials and hands them back, "
        "and the attacker never needed access to the network at all.",
    "dde_template_injection":
        "DDE and template injections carry a spreadsheet formula such as `=cmd|' /c ...'!A1` in a "
        "form field, alongside a link to a remote Office template. This is dangerous because the "
        "payload activates once the content moves into Office - copied into a spreadsheet, or "
        "opened through the linked template - so the PDF itself looks inert and the attack "
        "happens in an application the reader thinks is unrelated.",
    "xfa_acroform_injection":
        "XFA and AcroForm injections bury the payload in the XFA form definition - a whole XML "
        "document living inside the PDF. This is dangerous because it is a second format inside "
        "the first: many scanners parse PDF objects and never parse the form XML, so the payload "
        "sits in a part of the file that was never inspected while still reaching the viewer.",
    "polyglot_file":
        "Polyglot files are valid as two formats at once - here a ZIP archive embedded so that "
        "the same bytes read as both a PDF and an archive. This is dangerous because every "
        "security tool decides what a file is before deciding how to check it: the scanner reads "
        "the document, the operating system reads the archive, and the contents of whichever "
        "format was not chosen are never examined.",
    "steganographic_payload":
        "Steganographic payloads hide data inside an image stream, often a 1x1 pixel nobody will "
        "ever see rendered. This is dangerous because it defeats inspection rather than "
        "execution: the file carries the payload past filters that are looking for code or links, "
        "and the hidden data is retrieved later by something that already knows where to look.",
