AI Threat AlertDecision Hijacking: Prompt Injection Attacks on Jev's Typed Probabilistic Decisions
Most studies of prompt injection focus on generative agents, leaving their effects on models with schema-defined outputs unclear. We examine these effects in Jev, a non-generative decision model
Decoding Guardrails: XAI-Guided Perturbation Analysis of Prompt Injection Detection
Prompt Guard 2 distinguishes malicious from benign prompts. We conduct four experiments to probe this question empirically. Guided by Vanilla Gradient and SHAP attributions, we find that Prompt Guard
Fake News, Real Crashes: Information Injection Attacks on LLM Financial Trading Agents
trading agents. Unlike prompt injection, which targets the model's instructions, information injection targets the evidence the agent trusts. The benchmark spans five injection vectors and seven event categories, evaluated
The Injection Paradox: Brand-Level Suppression in Safety-Trained LLM Recommendations via RAG Context Injection
which prompt injections embedded in retrieved documents backfire against the attacker, suppressing the target brand below the injection-free baseline. In safety-trained Claude models, documents containing prompt injections suffer
Large Language Models for Cyber Security
paper studies the architecture and functioning of LLMs, its integration into Encrypted prompts to prevent prompt injection attacks. It also studies the integration of LLMs into cybersecurity tools using
Context-Aware Prompt Injection Detection via Small Language Models in RAG Pipelines: nokast-secureRAG
Local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection and retrieval poisoning, where malicious instructions in retrieved content are mistaken for trusted input. We present nokast-secureRAG
ChatInject: Abusing Chat Templates for Prompt Injection in LLM Agents
environments has created new attack surfaces for adversarial manipulation. One major threat is indirect prompt injection, where attackers embed malicious instructions in external environment output, causing agents to interpret
Skill-Inject: Measuring Agent Vulnerability to Skill File Attacks
domains, it creates an increasingly complex agent supply chain, offering new surfaces for prompt injection attacks. We identify skill-based prompt injection as a significant threat and introduce SkillInject
Beyond Pattern Matching: Seven Cross-Domain Techniques for Prompt Injection Detection
Current open-source prompt-injection detectors converge on two architectural choices: regular-expression pattern matching and fine-tuned transformer classifiers. Both share failure modes that recent work has made concrete
DriftNet: A Dual-Head Trajectory Transformer for Detecting and Localizing Prompt Injection in LLM Agents
When an indirect prompt injection succeeds against an LLM agent, the compromise is visible in the agent's own behavior: a benign prefix of tool calls, a poisoned observation
Prompt Injection Mitigation with Agentic AI, Nested Learning, and AI Sustainability via Semantic Caching
Prompt injection remains a central obstacle to the safe deployment of large language models, particularly in multi-agent settings where intermediate outputs can propagate or amplify malicious instructions. Building
RAISED: Self-Distillation for Robustness to Prompt Injection in LLM Agents
Tool-using language-model agents are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because they must act on untrusted external content. Existing training-time defenses can reduce attack success rates, but often
Prompt Control-Flow Integrity: A Priority-Aware Runtime Defense Against Prompt Injection in LLM Systems
models (LLMs) deployed behind APIs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) stacks are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks that may override system policies, subvert intended behavior, and induce unsafe outputs. Existing
Cordyceps: Covert Control Attacks on LLMs via Data Poisoning
covert control attacks and evaluate them across $5$ LLMs, $3$ backdoor defenses, and $4$ prompt injection defenses. With a small poisoned fraction, covert control attacks outperform heuristic-based prompt injection
Who Pays the Price? Stakeholder-Centric Prompt Injection Benchmarking for Real-world Web Agents
untrusted web content and execute actions with direct consequences. This makes them vulnerable to prompt-injection attacks, in which seemingly benign content embeds adversarial instructions that manipulate agent behaviour. Existing
An Empirical Evaluation of Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities in Large Language Models Across Multilingual and Obfuscated Attack Scenarios
automating complex tasks and generating human-like content. However, as their adoption accelerates, prompt injection vulnerabilities have become increasingly apparent. Malicious actors exploit these weaknesses to generate phishing emails, deceptive
Security--Fidelity Tradeoffs: The Hidden Cost of Prompt Injection Defense
identify a security-fidelity tradeoff in defending LLMs against indirect prompt injection: defenses resist injected instructions largely by suppressing untrusted text, which corrupts tasks that must preserve it, such
Blocking at the Boundary: Auditing Long-Horizon Agents against Staged Prompt Injection
Long-horizon agents consume external content, invoke tools, and modify persistent state. Indirect prompt injection can exploit task-specific context, propagate across causally connected stages, and alter a consequential action
Architecting Secure AI Agents: Perspectives on System-Level Defenses Against Indirect Prompt Injection Attacks
agents, predominantly powered by large language models (LLMs), are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection, in which malicious instructions embedded in untrusted data can trigger dangerous agent actions. This position paper
Localization then Neutralization: Gradient-guided Token Suppression against Visual Prompt Injection Attack
Adversarial images pose a severe security threat to multimodal large language models through prompt injection. Existing defenses largely lack a principled understanding of the underlying mechanisms and struggle to balance
