The paper introduces FlipJev, a fast black-box red-teaming method that discovers universal adversarial suffixes for typed decision models—models that output a single decision rather than free text. Using a quick query-based attack without an attacker language model, the authors tested 12 datasets and found that while Jev resists common prompt injections, their suffixes can flip confident answers within minutes, affecting 43% of unseen documents. Moreover, a single suffix generated from one task can flip 90–100% of samples in other tasks, highlighting a significant vulnerability across diverse applications.

arXiv:2606. 15441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Indirect prompt injection attacks hijack LLM-based agents by embedding malicious instructions in third-party data that the agent retrieves during task execution.
Indirect prompt injection attacks hijack LLM-based agents by embedding malicious instructions in third-party data that the agent retrieves during task execution. Existing defenses report near-zero attack success rate on static benchmarks, yet recent adaptive evaluations show that these results collapse once the attacker is allowed to optimize against the deployed defense.

The paper introduces the SAST-IR framework to evaluate large language models’ robustness against persuasion attacks in a memory‑less setting, revealing a flaw called "Refusal Inertia" that masks true vulnerability. Using the CP‑Agent and a custom CounterFact‑Strict dataset, the authors demonstrate that simple, diverse attack strategies achieve a 96% success rate, while complex attacks often trigger defensive compliance. The study highlights severe brittleness in current state‑of‑the‑art models when deprived of conversation history.
