Researchers have identified a new vulnerability in decentralized large language model prompt optimization systems, termed CPInj. This attack targets the collaborative prompt optimization loop, where malicious instructions can be injected and propagated through prompt aggregation, degrading performance and evading current defenses. To address this, a defense-oriented aggregation method called APAgg was proposed, which aims to purify malicious instructions and partially restore utility, though the attack remains a significant challenge.
