Core
Indirect Prompt Injection and the Lethal TrifectaIndirect 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.🛡️ AI Security, Privacy & GovernanceSign in

Agent Security: Tool Poisoning, Memory Poisoning, ContainmentAgent security covers threats that appear only once an LLM can call tools and act on their results: malicious tool or MCP responses, poisoned long-term memory, privilege escalation through tool misuse, and goal hijacking. The defense is runtime containment, least-privilege tools, kill-switches, and blast-radius limits, not better prompting. AI, ML, and GenAI interviews probe it because anyone shipping agents has to reason about what happens when an untrusted string steers a system that can spend money or delete data.🛡️ AI Security, Privacy & GovernanceSign in
