New guide offers 12 test cases for LLM prompt injection vulnerabilities

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A guide has been published detailing twelve test cases for identifying prompt injection vulnerabilities in large language models. Prompt injection, listed as the top threat by OWASP for LLM applications, can alter a model's behavior unintentionally. The guide suggests using a unique, meaningless 'canary string' within the system prompt to detect when attacks succeed in revealing instructions or overriding rules, as any output containing the canary string indicates a failure.
