Large Language Model (LLM) Agents are an emerging computing paradigm that blends generative machine learning with tools such as code interpreters, web browsing, email, and more generally, external resources. These agent-based systems represent an emerging shift in personal computing. We contribute to the security foundations of agent-based systems and surface a new class of automatically computed obfuscated adversarial prompt attacks that violate the confidentiality and integrity of user resources connected to an LLM agent. We show how prompt optimization techniques can find such prompts automatically given the weights of a model. We demonstrate that such attacks transfer to production-level agents. For example, we show an information exfiltration attack on Mistral's LeChat agent that analyzes a user's conversation, picks out personally identifiable information, and formats it into a valid markdown command that results in leaking that data to the attacker's server. This attack shows a nearly 80% success rate in an end-to-end evaluation. We conduct a range of experiments to characterize the efficacy of these attacks and find that they reliably work on emerging agent-based systems like Mistral's LeChat, ChatGLM, and Meta's Llama. These attacks are multimodal, and we show variants in the text-only and image domains.

We present various demos and adversarial prompts on this page. For full details, please refer to our paper.

## Adversarial Prompts

Our adversarial prompts show consistently high attack success rate and good quality of PII exfiltration throughout various unseen user-agent conversations. Find more details about our evaluation and results in the [paper]().

Our broader goal is to surface a new class of adversarial example attacks on LLM agents. This is an important first step before the community can embark on building robust agents. We note that the attacks presented in this work represent a generalization of existing prompt injection research --- the attacks have a similar effect in terms of violating confidentiality and integrity of user resources, however, they are obfuscated and are automatically generated using existing discrete optimization techniques. We do this, not to equip attackers, but to understand what are realistic threats agent-based systems face. Only by focusing on the correct set of threats, can we make real progress in building robust agents that matter~\cite{agents-that-matter}. Based on the recent work of Kohno et al. on frameworks for ethical analyses in computer security research~\cite{kohno-ethics}, our opinion is that it is a net positive for the community to be aware of this new class of threats.

### ChatGLM
We experimented with production systems LeChat and ChatGLM. We took appropriate care to ensure that our testing did not affect any real users of the service. We only created test accounts with test data and used that to verify the attacks. Our attacks did not disrupt the agent services themselves because our attacks are just prompts and their effect on the machine learning models is indistinguishable from a pure English prompt that a benign user might have written.

#### Prompt 1
We initiated disclosure to Mistral and ChatGLM team on Sep 9, 2024, and Sep 18, 2024, respectively. Mistral team members responded promptly and acknowledged the vulnerability as a medium-severity issue. They fixed the data exfiltration by disabling markdown rendering of external images on Sep 13, 2024. We confirmed that the fix works. ChatGLM team has not responded to us despite multiple attempts through various channels (repeated emails to multiple addresses, service contact form and GitHub issues).
