Prompt Leaking Attack

A Prompt Leaking Attack is an LLM security attack in which an LLM attacker extracts LLM hidden system instructions during or after LLM interaction.

• AKA: Prompt Extraction.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) occur in conversational AI systems, where the underlying prompt or instruction set for the model is unintentionally revealed to the user.
  • It can (often) expose proprietary prompts, user-specific instructions, or safety mechanisms embedded in the model.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Ignore previous instruction attacks or Reveal your training data attacks.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • LLM Jailbreaking, which focuses on bypassing content restrictions rather than leaking instructions.
• See: Prompt Injection, Adversarial Attack on AI Models, Model Robustness.
