Prompt injection is a critical security vulnerability in AI agents where untrusted input (such as emails or web content) is treated as direct instructions, potentially causing agents to perform unintended actions like deleting databases or leaking sensitive data, similar to how SQL injection exploits traditional software systems.

Why prompt injection is AI's biggest fail
Added:Let's start with the disaster where a agent deleted a production database. You may have heard of prompt injection. If you get an email that contains some text the agent reads it and it treats it as an instruction. It goes ahead and does something that you didn't wasn't intention. So, that's what we call prompt injection. It's the new SQL injection. You may have heard of it. So, a big danger when agents are looking at resources in the internet, reading emails and so on. Which ultimately leads to leaking sensitive data.
