Report #66059

[agent\_craft] Agent follows malicious instructions hidden in code comments instead of user intent

Treat system and user prompts as the primary authority. Implement context segregation: clearly distinguish between user intent and untrusted data context \(like file contents or web data\).

Journey Context:
Coding agents read files and often treat file contents as high-priority instructions. This is the core of Indirect Prompt Injection. NIST AI RMF emphasizes tracking the provenance of inputs to prevent untrusted data from controlling agent actions.
