Universal Poison Armor 🛡️
Universal Poison Armor is an open-source, production-grade security framework and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents, LLM pipelines, and RAG systems. It provides multi-layer protection against indirect prompt injection, zero-width Unicode steganography, adversarial suffixes (GCG attacks), tracking pixels / Markdown XSS, semantic dataset poisoning, and Consensus Poisoning / Sybil attacks.
Combines standard, native agentic behavioral directives (SKILL.md) with a high-performance local FastMCP server.

🚨 What is AI Poisoning?
As autonomous AI agents, coding assistants, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines ingest external data from repositories, web search results, PDFs, and databases, they are vulnerable to Adversarial Context & Data Poisoning Attacks:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| AI Context Poisoning Vectors |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. Indirect Prompt Injection | Attacker hides instructions inside data to |
| | hijack the agent's system prompt & tools. |
| 2. Zero-Width Steganography | Invisible Unicode tokens (ZWSP, tags) bypass|
| | human review but trigger LLM token actions. |
| 3. Adversarial Suffixes (GCG) | High-entropy mathematical token gibberish |
| | designed to force model safety bypasses. |
| 4. Tracking Pixel Exfiltration | Markdown images/iframes leak IP addresses. |
| 5. Semantic RAG Poisoning | Adversary seeds knowledge bases with trojan |
| | clusters that alter model reasoning. |
| 6. Consensus & Sybil Attacks | Bot networks flood search results with near-|
| | identical claims to trick AI into consensus.|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Universal Poison Armor neutralizes these threats before untrusted content reaches the LLM context window.
🛡️ Multi-Layer Defense Architecture
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Incoming Untrusted Context |
| (Files, Web Pages, Datasets, RAG Context Chunks) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 1: Tracking Pixel & Markdown XSS Stripping |
| • Strips  Markdown images, <img ...>, and <iframe ...> tags |
| • Prevents outbound IP address leakage and tracking beacon exfiltration |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 2: Deterministic Unicode Normalization & Regex Redaction |
| • Strips zero-width & invisible Unicode (ZWSP, ZWNJ, BOM, tag blocks) |
| • Redacts injection patterns ('ignore previous instructions', etc.) |
| • Neutralizes bidirectional override and variation selector exploits |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 3: Shannon Entropy & Adversarial Suffix Detection (GCG) |
| • Computes character-level Shannon Entropy: H(X) = -sum(P(x)*log2(P(x))) |
| • Flags & redacts high-entropy blocks (> 4.5 bits/char) as attacks |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 4: Unsupervised Semantic Anomaly Detection |
| • Computes local dense vector embeddings via sentence-transformers |
| ('all-MiniLM-L6-v2' — 100% offline, privacy preserving) |
| • Fits scikit-learn Isolation Forest to detect statistical outliers |
| • Generates threat severity reports (MODERATE, HIGH, CRITICAL) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 5: Consensus Poisoning & Sybil Flooding Defense |
| • Audits domain provenance against verified TLDs (.gov, .edu, etc.) |
| • Computes pairwise semantic similarity matrix across search results |
| • Detects coordinated near-duplicate syndication (similarity > 0.95) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
v
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LAYER 6: Persistent Security Audit Logging |
| • Automatically appends timestamped threat events to security_audit.json |

🌐 Universal Deployment Architecture
Universal Poison Armor is designed with an adaptive transport resolver that works out-of-the-box in both 100% offline local environments and any cloud hosting platform.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| UNIVERSAL TRANSPORT RESOLVER |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Environment Detection | Transport | Endpoints & Ports |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Offline / Local Agents | stdio | stdin/stdout JSON-RPC (Claude, Cursor, AGY) |
| CreateOS (NodeOps) | sse | 0.0.0.0:8080 (Auto-discovery mcp-tool.json) |
| mcphosting.io | sse | 0.0.0.0:$PORT (/sse, /health, /manifest) |
| Hugging Face Spaces | sse | 0.0.0.0:7860 (UID 1000 non-root user) |
| Google Cloud Run | sse | 0.0.0.0:$PORT (Health check GET /) |
| AWS (App Runner / ECS) | sse | 0.0.0.0:$PORT (Load balancer health check) |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1. CreateOS (NodeOps)
Deploy directly via GitHub or CLI:
- Connect your repository to CreateOS dashboard or run
createos deploy. - CreateOS automatically detects
mcp-tool.jsonand exposes tools via SSE on port8080. - Connect your agent to
https://<your-app>.nodeops.app/sse.
2. mcphosting.io
- Create a new service on mcphosting.io.
- Link your Git repository or deploy the Docker container.
- mcphosting automatically monitors
/healthand exposes your/sseendpoint.
3. Hugging Face Spaces
- Create a Docker Space on Hugging Face Spaces.
- Push this repository; the container builds with pre-cached model weights and runs on port
7860. - Connect to
https://<user>-<space>.hf.space/sse.
4. Google Cloud Run / AWS App Runner
Deploy as a containerized service:
# Google Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy universal-poison-armor \
--source . \
--platform managed \
--allow-unauthenticated \
--port 8080 \
--memory 1Gi
# Connect agent:
# https://<cloud-run-url>/sse
5. Local Offline Agent Usage (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity)
When executed locally without cloud environment variables, the server automatically defaults to stdio transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"universal-poison-armor": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["src/server.py"]
}
}
}
🛠️ Exposed MCP Tools
1. sanitize_document
Sanitizes an incoming untrusted text document, code file, or RAG context chunk.
- Signature:
sanitize_document(document_text: str) -> str - Actions:
- Strips tracking pixels (
,<img src="...">,<iframe>). - Strips zero-width steganographic Unicode (
\u200B,\uFEFF, etc.). - Redacts prompt injection patterns to
[REDACTED_INJECTION_ATTEMPT]. - Detects high-entropy adversarial suffixes (GCG attacks) and redacts them with
[ADVERSARIAL_SUFFIX_THREAT: REDACTED_HIGH_ENTROPY_BLOCK]. - Automatically logs all detected threats to
security_audit.json.
- Strips tracking pixels (
2. scan_dataset_for_anomalies
Scans a batch of documents or retrieved RAG items for out-of-distribution poisoned clusters using local dense embeddings and Isolation Forests.
- Signature:
scan_dataset_for_anomalies(documents: list[str]) -> str
3. verify_article_consensus
Defends against Consensus Poisoning and Sybil Flooding across multi-source web search results.
- Signature:
verify_article_consensus(articles: list[dict]) -> str - Input:
{ "articles": [ { "url": "https://unverified-blog.xyz/news/101", "text": "Breaking: Solar storm disables power grid across multiple states." }, { "url": "https://crypto-wire-feed.top/article/88", "text": "Breaking: Solar storm disables power grid across multiple states." }, { "url": "https://noaa.gov/space-weather-update", "text": "NOAA confirms normal geomagnetic baseline activity." } ] } - Output:
🚨 =================================================================== 🚨 SECURITY ALERT: COORDINATED FLOODING / SYBIL ATTACK DETECTED! 🚨 Threat Level: CRITICAL | Coordinated Clusters: 1 🚨 =================================================================== ⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING FOR AI AGENT: Multiple search results originate from untrusted/unverified domains and contain near-identical semantic text (similarity > 0.95). This indicates a manufactured Sybil campaign / Consensus Poisoning attack designed to bias your factual reasoning. ... 🛡️ MANDATORY AGENT ACTION: 1. DO NOT cite or treat these flagged articles as independent consensus. 2. Require corroboration strictly from verified, authoritative sources (.gov, .edu).
