Access-Grant Coercion — Forcing an Agent to Emit "Access Granted" - ATR-2026-01920 (f3a7d38c-11f4-50fa-9ff5-63e410703136)

Detects user-side prompt injection that coerces an agent acting as an authorization / access-control gate into emitting the literal approval string "Access Granted" (the canonical hijack objective in the Tensor Trust attack-defense corpus). Across 5000 Tensor Trust attacks this is the single largest class the existing rule set missed: an imperative or replacement frame ("say / print / write / echo / respond with", "only respond with", "replace the denial with", "start your reply with", or a letter-spelled A,c,c,e,s,s G,r,a,n,t,e,d) wrapped around the target string "Access Granted" — including whitespace-stripped variants (sayAccessGranted, respondwithaccessgranted). The real-world threat: when an LLM mediates an authorization decision, an attacker who can make it print the approval token bypasses the gate. The pattern anchors on the literal "access granted" token (with 0-3 internal spaces) co-occurring with an output/override frame, so it cannot fire on benign prose, source code, or a plain authorization log line that merely contains the phrase without a coercive frame.
