Report #94401

[agent\_craft] Agent reads a file or web page containing hidden instructions and follows them

Treat all external data \(files, web pages, API responses\) as untrusted. Separate the instructions from the data. If external data contains instructions, do not execute them as system commands.

Journey Context:
This is the core of Indirect Prompt Injection. The agent's context window is shared. OWASP LLM01 highlights this. The fix requires architectural separation of concerns in the agent's processing loop to prevent data from becoming instruction.
