LLM prompt injection vulnerability rates vary widely across models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A security researcher tested five large language models (LLMs) for prompt injection vulnerabilities, finding that leak rates varied significantly from 0% to 90% depending on the model used. The tests revealed that disguised prompts, phrased as legitimate requests, were more effective at eliciting sensitive information like API keys or system prompts than blunt injection attempts. Notably, while Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5 showed no key leaks, it had a 90% rate of disclosing its system prompt content, highlighting the need for multi-stage detection methods. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical security risks in LLM agents and the need for robust, multi-stage detection mechanisms before deployment.

    I tested 5 LLMs for prompt-injection leaks. Same code, 0% to 90%.

    <p>I built a scanner that fires prompt-injection probes at a self-hosted AI agent and checks whether it leaks (a) real secret-shaped strings (API keys) or (b) the content of its own system prompt. Then I ran the same agent across 5 model backends. The leak rate ranged from 0% to …
