Image-layer prompt injection: measuring a defense across 108,015 samples
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Most prompt injection defenses guard the text prompt. They inspect the user's message, sometimes the retrieved documents, and they assume everything else arriving at the model is inert data. For a multimodal model that assumption is wrong. The model reads the image too, and an image is a large, high-entropy container that a human reviewer looks at for half a second and waves through. You can hide instructions in that container. Three techniques are old enough to be boring. Least-significant-bit…
