Persian language nuances enable sophisticated prompt injection attacks on chatbots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Prompt injection attacks can be more effective against chatbots when using languages like Persian due to differences in character encoding and display compared to English. Filters designed for English may not recognize malicious instructions embedded in Persian text, as variations in characters, invisible formatting, multiple digit sets, and transliteration (Finglish) can alter the text's underlying code points while appearing identical to a human reader. This allows attackers to bypass security measures and manipulate the chatbot's behavior through indirect injection, where the user is unaware of the malicious input. AI

    Prompt injection in Persian chatbots

    <p>A support chatbot reads a ticket a customer submitted. Somewhere inside it, between the description of an ordinary problem, sit a few sentences not addressed to any human. They are addressed to the model. If they work, the chatbot says or does something nobody wrote it to do.<…
