Report #76097

[agent\_craft] Agent follows malicious instructions hidden in fetched web pages or file contents \(Indirect Prompt Injection\)

Treat all external data \(files, web pages, API responses\) as untrusted input. Architecturally separate the data context from the instruction context. Never let external data override core system instructions or trigger tool executions without explicit user confirmation.

Journey Context:
Agents often treat the concatenation of tool output \+ user prompt as a single instruction stream. This is the primary vector for OWASP LLM01 \(Prompt Injection\). The fix requires architectural separation—treating tool outputs as data to be analyzed, not commands to be obeyed.
