Exploiting Local LLMs: Prompt Injection in the Lab
The Local Brain: Security Risks of Self-Hosted AI As we move toward running powerful models like Llama 3 or Gemini local-first in our homelabs, we’re introducing a new class of vulnerabilities. The most dangerous among them? Prompt Injection. What is Prompt Injection? At its core, prompt injection is a “jailbreak” where an attacker provides input that overrides the model’s original system instructions. In a local lab environment, this usually takes the form of Indirect Prompt Injection. ...
