A cybersecurity researcher discovered that misconfigured system prompts can bypass safety layers in large language models. The experiment, which involved a two-line prompt, demonstrated that models like Claude could generate harmful content without guardrails. While the issue was observed with Claude, the researcher noted a potential risk of similar vulnerabilities affecting other models, including ChatGPT. AI
