Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating prompt injection attacks on a generative LLM are disclosed. A deployment scenario is considered, in which the generative LLM supports a task automation function. Prompts are received and interpreted by the generative LLM, and outputs from the generative LLM are used to trigger automation actions. The prompts are constructed based on a combination of user input and external data and are, therefore, vulnerable to prompt injection attacks though manipulation of the external data. To mitigate this risk, a separate discriminative classification, decoupled from the generative LLM, engine is configured to identify malicious prompts, and filter out any malicious prompts before they reach the generative LLM.
