What is Prompt Injection?

Prompt injection is a critical security vulnerability affecting Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Bard, and others. As the adoption of generative AI applications continues to grow, it’s crucial to understand the risks posed by prompt injection attacks and how to mitigate them effectively.

Prompt injection is a technique where an attacker manipulates the input (prompt) provided to an LLM, causing it to deviate from its intended behavior and perform unintended or malicious actions. This vulnerability arises because LLMs cannot inherently distinguish between legitimate instructions and injected malicious content within a prompt.
