| """ |
| Attack library for LedgerShield adversarial case generation. |
| |
| Contains 16 distinct attack types covering the full spectrum of |
| accounts payable fraud tactics observed in enterprise environments. |
| Each attack injects specific fraud signals, reason codes, and |
| instruction modifications into base cases to test agent robustness. |
| |
| Attack Categories: |
| - Identity Attacks (4): bank override, vendor takeover, domain spoof, CEO fraud |
| - Document Attacks (4): fake receipt, near-duplicate invoice, phantom vendor, inflated line items |
| - Process Attacks (4): urgency spoof, approval threshold evasion, workflow override, split payment |
| - Advanced Persistent Threats (4): coordinated campaign, supply chain compromise, |
| insider collusion, multi-entity layering |
| |
| Severity Levels: |
| - critical: Immediate financial loss if undetected |
| - high: Significant risk requiring intervention |
| - medium: Elevated risk requiring investigation |
