Prompt injection

Prompt injection — An attack in which malicious instructions are smuggled into an AI system's input — via user content, document content or tool responses — to override its intended behaviour.

Defending against prompt injection requires multi-layer detection: input filtering, reasoning constraints, tool sandboxing and output review.
