Why it matters

System prompt leakage exposes the hidden instructions, guardrails, and configuration of deployed LLM applications, giving attackers the knowledge needed to craft targeted jailbreaks and bypass safeguards.

A bug bounty write-up by tinopreter describes leaking an AI application's system prompt at a company that rolled out AI across its assets, earning a $1,500 payout, and attributes the discovery to a particular Burp Suite proxy configuration that surfaced the prompt in intercepted traffic.
