Why it matters
Prompt injection can turn untrusted content into instructions for AI agents, making context trust boundaries and restrictions on agent permissions important defensive priorities.
OWASP LLM01 prompt injection is explained through direct attacker prompts and indirect instructions embedded in websites, emails, files, and other content consumed by LLMs. The article connects this established risk to agent goal hijacking, tool access, and hidden-context exposure rather than presenting a new exploit or primary finding.
