Prompt Leaking
Date of Addition
17 October 2025
An attack vector exploiting prompt injection vulnerabilities where adversaries craft inputs designed to extract proprietary system instructions, hidden prompts, or confidential configuration details embedded in AI applications. This security risk enables competitors or malicious actors to reverse-engineer commercial prompt engineering intellectual property, reveal safety guardrails for subsequent bypass attempts, or expose sensitive business logic encoded in system messages. Prompt leaking represents a unique challenge for LLM-based products where competitive differentiation often relies on carefully crafted instruction sets that cannot be technically protected through traditional access control mechanisms since the model must process both system and user inputs jointly.
