Detect direct and indirect prompt injection attempts.

.md .json

Acceptance criteria

Identify, block, and flag prompt injection attempts, whether directly entered into the AI tool or read via connections to third-party tools.

Why it matters

Successful prompt injection can lead to sensitive data exfiltration or irreversible destructive agent actions.

How to verify

Prompt injection attempts via user input or connected tools are detected and logged with evidence.

OWASP adoption context

Jailbreak and misuse attempts can occur in any of the listed employee AI contexts; the tiers do not imply identical detection coverage.

Framework mappings

  • Evidence of jailbreak, bypass and misuse attempts supports adverse-event analysis, security monitoring and event triage. A prompt attack is not automatically malware, and detection does not guarantee blocking. ISO/IEC 27001: A.8.16: Demonstrate analysis of anomalous or risky behavior beyond usage collection. Validate surface coverage, known gaps and false positives, with an event-assessment and response process.

  • Detection evidence, tested coverage and known gaps support continuing identification of AI risks and operational monitoring. Findings must feed an ongoing tracking and review process; a detector alone does not establish that process.
