Goal
This attack determines whether the LLM or application target tested will generate escaped ANSI escape sequences, which could then be executed in a terminal, posing risks if stored in logs or rendered in the terminal. This risk was identified and disclosed by Leon Derczynski and the Garak team ANSI escape sequences, which start with the “escape” character (e.g., \033 or \x1b), can control text formatting, color, and cursor movement in terminal environments.Example
