LLMs vulnerable to prompt injection attacks

As we've already seen today AI systems are becoming increasingly popular targets for attack. New research from Snyk and Lakera looks at the risks to AI agents and LLMs from prompt injection attacks. Agents offer a flexible and convenient way to connect multiple application components such as data stores, functions, and external APIs to an underlying LLM in order to build a system that takes advantage of machine learning models to quickly solve problems and add value. Prompt injection is a new variant of an injection attack, where user-provided input is reflected directly into a format such that the processing… [Continue Reading]
