How prompt injection attacks grew from pranks to significant risks

What started as harmless chatbot manipulation has become a serious security issue. Prompt injection attacks now threaten enterprise systems as AI models are integrated into workflows.

This research examines the growing sophistication of these vulnerabilities, highlighting real-world cases where attackers exploit AI to bypass security and access sensitive data. Key insights include:

• How attackers use AI prompts to generate malicious code and gain unauthorized access
• The EchoLeak vulnerability in Microsoft 365 enabling data exfiltration via email prompts
• Why traditional input validation fails against AI-generated threats
