Report #99109

[synthesis] Prompt injection and jailbreaks bypass traditional security boundaries because LLMs cannot separate instructions from data

Treat all prompt surfaces as untrusted; apply defense-in-depth with input/output filtering, least-privilege tool access, deterministic egress controls, and human approval for irreversible actions.

Journey Context:
OWASP ranks prompt injection as the top LLM risk because the same channel carries developer instructions and user or retrieved content. Firewalls and access controls assume a clear data/instruction boundary; LLMs lack one. RAG and fine-tuning do not remove the risk. The right architecture isolates untrusted content, constrains tool permissions, and validates outputs before they reach users or systems.
