Extract API keys / credentials embedded in prompts or system messages.
Last reviewed July 2026
The gap AML.T0055 closes
In MITRE ATLAS, Unsecured Credentials addresses credential access. Extract API keys / credentials embedded in prompts or system messages. Penaxtra records this control at high severity and establishes its state by exercising it against the running system, so the result reflects observed behavior rather than a documented assertion.
How Penaxtra delivers AML.T0055
Penaxtra maps its probe families to this ATLAS technique, so activity matching unsecured credentials surfaces as a finding carrying the AML.T0055 technique identifier for threat tracking and reporting. The MITRE ATLAS AML.T0055 identifier is attached when the finding is created, so it appears in the exported evidence pack already mapped to the control. Where the same weakness maps to another framework, the finding carries those control identifiers as well.
AML.T0055 capabilities
Findings tagged with the MITRE ATLAS AML
T0055 identifier.
Penaxtra severity for this control (high)
Cross-framework identifiers attached to the same finding where controls overlap
PDF and JSON evidence export with the control identifier attached
AML.T0055 compliance mapping
Findings for AML.T0055 carry the MITRE ATLAS AML.T0055 identifier along with the corresponding control identifiers in the other frameworks Penaxtra maps, so one result is reflected across each mapped framework.
