Why it matters
System prompt leakage exposes the hidden instructions, guardrails, and business logic behind deployed AI features, giving attackers a blueprint to craft jailbreaks and abuse LLM-backed applications.
A bug bounty write-up by 'tinopreter' describes leaking an AI application's system prompt for a $1,500 reward, using a particular Burp Suite configuration to intercept and inspect traffic from an AI feature rolled out across a company's assets. The author frames it as a passive discovery ('I didn't hack anything. I simply looked') enabled by proxy configuration, with details altered for confidentiality.
