Beware of Agentic Botnets: Scalable Untargeted Promptware Attacks Via Universal and Transferable Adversarial HalluSquatting

The growing adoption of agentic LLM applications has introduced a new threat previously named as promptware. While prior work has established that adversaries can exploit direct channels to LLM applications to apply promptware under weak threat models, many applications do not provide any direct...

The Promptware Kill Chain

Attacks against modern generative artificial intelligence AI large language models LLMs pose a real threat. Yet discussions around these attacks and their potential defenses are dangerously myopic. The dominant narrative focuses on "prompt injection," a set of techniques to embed instructions int...

Really good research on practical attacks against LLM agents. "Invitation Is All You Need! Promptware Attacks Against LLM-Powered Assistants in Production Are Practical and Dangerous" Abstract: The growing integration of LLMs into applications has introduced new security risks, notably known as...

Invitation Is All You Need! Promptware Attacks against LLM-Powered Assistants in Production Are Practical and Dangerous

The growing integration of LLMs into applications has introduced new security risks, notably known as Promptware - maliciously engineered prompts designed to manipulate LLMs to compromise the CIA triad of these applications. While prior research warned about a potential shift in the threat...
