Why it matters

PIAtlas gives defenders a structured way to identify gaps in prompt-injection evaluations and broaden red-team coverage beyond commonly benchmarked attacks.

PIAtlas introduces a prompt-injection taxonomy organized around six instruction-subversion mechanisms. The researchers release PICorpus and map thousands of attack records using a human-verified protocol, finding that attacks commonly combine techniques and that widely used agent benchmarks underrepresent mechanisms favored by adaptive attackers.
