Indirect Prompt Injection and the Lethal Trifecta
Indirect prompt injection buries attacker instructions inside content an agent retrieves or reads (a web page, a PDF, a support ticket), so an innocent user sets off the attack. The lethal trifecta is the mix that turns this into real harm: reach into private data, exposure to untrusted content, and a path to send data out. AI, ML, and GenAI interviews probe it because anyone building RAG or tool-using agents has to reason about blast radius, not just clever filters.
