Interesting Paper Exploring Prompt Injection
This is a fascinating explotation of how LLMs fall for prompt injection attacks. It turns out that they learn to recognize the style of text in different role/instruction blocks, and not just the tags. Their conclusion: Role tags were a…
What happened
The latest analysis post sets out a development that is directly relevant to security operators. This is a fascinating explotation of how LLMs fall for prompt injection attacks. Role tags were a formatting trick that became the security architecture and the cognitive scaffolding of modern LLMs.
Why it matters
