Researchers have developed a new method for detecting malicious instructions embedded within text, a vulnerability known as indirect prompt injection (IPI). This approach is context- and query-aware, improving upon existing detectors. To enhance robustness against adaptive evasion attacks, the researchers implemented two adversarial training methods: one using projected-gradient-based optimization in the embedding space and another simulating real-world attacks through LLM-based paraphrasing. Experiments show this method outperforms current baselines, especially against adaptive attacks, though optimal parameters may vary by application domain. AI
