An emerging security vulnerability, known as indirect prompt injection, allows malicious actors to compromise AI agents by embedding hidden instructions within documents or emails that the agent will process. Unlike direct prompt injection where the user directly manipulates the AI, indirect injection exploits the AI's inability to distinguish between trusted developer instructions and untrusted content from external sources. Researchers Kai Greshake and colleagues demonstrated this attack, showing it can manipulate AI applications like Microsoft Bing's GPT-4-powered chat by embedding harmful commands within retrieved data.
