In this episode we discuss the critical security flaw of indirect prompt injection in generative AI (GenAI) systems. Our guests explain how attackers can manipulate these systems by inserting malicious instructions into the data they access, such as emails and documents. This can lead to various issues, including disinformation, phishing attacks and denial of service. They also emphasize the importance of data hygiene, user training and technical safeguards to mitigate these risks, and they further discuss how the integration of large language models (LLMs) into organizational systems increases the attack surface. In summary RAG is vulnerable unless you take strong mitigating actions.
