Evaluation Using Interface

Input:

  • Required Inputs:
    • input: The user-provided prompt column to be analysed for injection attempts.

Output:

  • Result: Passed / Failed

Interpretation:

  • Passed: Indicates no prompt injection attempts were detected in the input.
  • Failed: Signifies that suspicious patterns indicative of prompt injection were identified in the input, requiring mitigation.

What to do when Prompt Injection is Detected

If prompt injection attempt is detected, immediate actions should be taken to mitigate potential risks. This includes blocking or sanitising the suspicious input, logging the attempt for security analysis, and triggering appropriate security alerts.

To enhance system resilience, prompt injection detection patterns should be regularly updated, input validation rules should be strengthened, and additional security layers should be implemented.

Differentiating Prompt Injection with Toxicity

Prompt Injection focuses on detecting attempts to manipulate system behaviour through carefully crafted inputs designed to override or alter intended responses. In contrast, Toxicity evaluation identifies harmful or offensive language within the content, ensuring that AI-generated outputs remain appropriate and respectful.
