This article is way too long, and very sloppy.

Here's the section with the prompt injection headers. They all look like jokes / non-serious attempts to me, bar the ones that included the Claude 4 era refusal triggering string. https://www.signalscorps.com/blog/prompt-injection-in-http-h...

Unanswered by the article: Does any of that (joke or not) actually work?

It's input to the model, sure, but it would have to be a pretty dumb model.

I don't doubt that it's possible to create prompt injection attacks that work. I'm very interested in knowing how hard it is.

My intuition is that the models from this year are really hard to successfully inject.

The labs have been pouring a ton of energy into training against these attacks, as hinted from their system cards.

Doesn't mean they can't be beaten, but you likely need a whole lot more context than a short HTTP header to do it.

Testing now.

The only interesting one to me is the npx one. It could actually be malicious. Wish they would've at least dug into what the redacted package actually does.

Yeah this one would be interesting if we could see more of the details:

I am hiring and received this pfd with hidden text, claude flagged it and I was so confused what is going on, so I printed all text in my notes app and I realized resume had hidden text white font on white background, so only AI could see and read

I was impressed the model picked it up and flagged system manipulations

Did it hurt the candidate’s chances?
