A recent analysis by Hines et al. from Microsoft in 2024 explored prompt injection vulnerabilities in large language models, finding that current defenses do not eliminate the issue entirely. The study measured the effectiveness of three techniques: delimiting, datamarking, and encoding, against various attack families. While these methods significantly reduce successful injections, they also introduce trade-offs, such as increased token counts or decreased task accuracy, and none achieve a zero percent success rate.
