### Business Integrity — Policy Overriding — Discounts

**Description:**

{% hint style="danger" %}
\
Tricking the AI into granting unauthorized discounts, waiving fees, applying special coupon codes, or issuing store credit outside of approved policies.
{% endhint %}

### Scope & Assumptions

* Model can interact with pricing, checkout, or billing systems.
* Lack of secondary verification allows prompt-only authority claims.

### Attack Surfaces

* Checkout bots
* Billing assistants
* Customer support AI with refund/discount permissions

### Sample Prompt Injections
