DRIP: Defending Prompt Injection via Token-wise Representation Editing and Residual Fusion

· 0 citations · 77 references

TL;DR

DRIP aims to achieve a new security-utility balance by “de-instructionalization”, i.e., precisely removing the instruction semantics from tokens in the data section while preserving their data semantics and robustly maintain the effectiveness of the intended instruction, even against strong adversarial content.

Beyond Over-Refusal: Defending Indirect Prompt Injection via Latent Instruction Manifolds

AEGIS (Adaptive Ensemble Guard for Injection Shielding) extracts instruction-sensitive projectors to identify malicious instructions and leverages a Unified Multi-Layer Consensus mechanism that aggregates topologically distinct signals across the network depth.

RAISED: Self-Distillation for Robustness to Prompt Injection in LLM Agents

Tool-using language-model agents are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because they must act on untrusted external content. Existing training-time defenses can reduce attack success rates, but often at the cost of general capabilities. We show that training-based defenses induce substantial drift in the model's o...

Decoding Guardrails: XAI-Guided Perturbation Analysis of Prompt Injection Detection

An exploratory case study that applies explainable artificial intelligence techniques to analyze how Prompt Guard 2 distinguishes malicious from benign prompts finds that Prompt Guard 2's decisions rely on the cumulative contribution of many tokens rather than a few dominant ones, yet saliency-guided synonym substituti...

Pincer: Resource Authorization for Agents using a Digital Twin

Coding agents have become increasingly long-horizon, autonomous, reliant on general-purpose shell and maintain their own persistent memory for self-improvement. While these capabilities have made the agents powerful, they have also made them harder to defend against external adversaries. Defenses that restrict this arc...

Render Before Reading: Visual Rendering as a Prompt Injection Defense

This paper studies the role played by the adversarial data's input modality, and identifies a systematic asymmetry: multimodal LLMs are more likely to follow adversarial instruction when they appear as text than when the same instruction is delivered through a non-textual channel.
