Lethal Trifecta Vs Indirect Prompt Injection?
7.0BRAINROT SCORELETHAL TRIFECTA— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Lethal Trifecta The specific, especially dangerous combination of an agent having access to private data, exposure to untrusted external content, and the ability to communicate externally — any two alone are usually manageable, but all three together mean a single injected instruction can quietly exfiltrate real data.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"Before shipping, the team specifically checked whether the agent hit the lethal trifecta — turned out it did, on all three counts."
INDIRECT PROMPT INJECTION— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Indirect Prompt Injection A prompt injection attack where the malicious instructions arrive not from the user's own input but from third-party content the agent reads mid-task — a webpage, a document, an email — so the user never typed anything adversarial themselves.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"The support bot got indirect prompt injected through a customer's uploaded PDF that had hidden instructions telling it to leak the internal ticket queue."
