A new study published on arXiv details the first systematic investigation into prompt injection attacks within Large Language Model (LLM)-based resume screening applications. Researchers analyzed approximately 200,000 real-world resumes, developing specialized detection methods that demonstrated high precision. Their findings indicate that about 1% of resumes contain hidden prompt injections, with a noticeable increase in prevalence over the past one to two years. Notably, over 90% of these injected prompts do not rely on explicit instructions, highlighting a sophisticated and growing threat in real-world LLM deployments. AI
