File contents

Prompt injection (application-level)

Classes

  1. Direct – user message is the injection
  2. Indirect – content retrieved/fetched contains instructions
  3. Tool-result – malicious output from tools/MCP
  4. Schema/description – tool/plugin manifest instructions
  5. Store/memory – long-term agent memory / vector DB

Indirect injection recipe

  1. Map retrieval sources (URLs, drive, tickets, wiki).
  2. Plant payload where retrieval is likely (title + body + hidden HTML comment).
  3. Payload structure:
    • authority claim
    • override retrieved-context rules
    • exfil channel (tool call, image URL, mailto, log)
  4. Trigger via normal user question that retrieves the plant.

High-value checks

  • Does the app separate "data" vs "instructions"? (usually no)
  • Are tool args validated against allow-lists?
  • Can the model be forced to call run/email/fetch?

Payloads should include

  • Explicit tool invocation plan
  • Stop conditions that prevent user-visible refusal
  • Optional stealth (hide in HTML comments / white-on-white)

Pair with

llm-jailbreak-tool-agent for agency escalation; Unleash settings/patches for local agents.
