Prompt injection engineering for attackers: Exploiting GitHub Copilot
Prompt injection pervades discussions about security for LLMs and AI agents. But there is little public information on how to write powerful, discreet, and reliable prompt injection exploits. In this post, we will design and implement a prompt injection exploit targeting GitHub’s Copilot Agent, with a focus on maximizing reliability and minimizing the odds of detection.
