alert:
name: LLM system prompt leakage via prompt injection
context: >
A prompt injection payload was sent in a string field and the API
response contains fragments that look like leaked system instructions.
This indicates the LLM backend does not sanitize user inputs before
including them in the prompt context.
severity: HIGH
remediation: >
Validate and sanitize user inputs before forwarding to the LLM.
Use output filtering to strip system prompt fragments from responses.
