Maps to OWASP LLM02 (Insecure Output Handling): a model can be coaxed into emitting
a template expression that a downstream rendering engine (Jinja2, Twig, Freemarker,
ERB, Velocity) will evaluate, leading to data disclosure or remote code execution.

execution. To keep false positives low the patterns target unambiguous exploitation
markers — the canonical arithmetic eval probe (``{{7*7}}`` and its ``${}``, ``#{}``,
or ``<%= %>`` variants) and the Python object-traversal gadget chains used to escape the
sandbox (in expression interpolations or statement blocks) — rather than ordinary
