INJECTION BOUNTY BOARD

The Prompt Injection Bounty Board — ai agents 2026

— Ingenious AI security check.

Key figure: 63% of organizations in IBM's 2025 breach study had no AI governance policy, and 97% of AI-breach victims had no proper AI access controls (IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025).

Why rank prompt injection payloads for AI agents in 2026?

Because defenses only improve against what gets measured. The bounty board ranks real payloads by which models and guardrails they defeat — turning scattered jailbreak demos into a leaderboard the whole field can learn from. If you build AI agents, the top entries are your red-team starter pack.

A public leaderboard of real, published prompt-injection payloads. Every entry is cited, credited to its researcher, and honestly marked fixed or unfixed.

Defensive archive. Payloads are shown as redacted technique descriptions and truncated snippets — never live, weaponized strings. The point is pattern recognition for defenders, not a cookbook. Do not use these against systems you don't own.
IDs like "INJ-001" are our internal catalog numbers — they are NOT real CVE numbers and do not exist in any vulnerability database.

Prompt injection FAQ

What is prompt injection and how does it manipulate LLMs?

Prompt injection is an attack that tricks an AI system into following instructions from an untrusted source. It works because LLMs process everything — your request, tool outputs, web pages, files — as one text stream, so the model can mistake attacker-planted text for orders it should obey.

What is the difference between direct and indirect prompt injection?

Direct prompt injection is typed straight at the model by the user — the classic “ignore previous instructions”. Indirect prompt injection hides the instructions in content the model reads on your behalf — a web page, email, document, or file — so the attack arrives through the data channel instead of the chat box.

How is prompt injection different from jailbreaking?

Jailbreaking aims to strip a model’s built-in safety rules — for example, convincing it to act as an unfiltered persona. Prompt injection steers the model toward an attacker’s goal, like stealing data or abusing tools, without necessarily removing its guardrails. The two overlap, but jailbreaks target the model’s rules; injections target its instruction hierarchy.

Can input sanitization completely stop prompt injection?

No. Sanitization and blocklists buy time, but attackers constantly rephrase, encode, or multi-turn their way around filters — OpenAI has acknowledged the underlying problem may never be fully solved. The accepted strategy is defense in depth: least-privilege agents, human approval for irreversible actions, and monitoring.

How does OWASP classify prompt injection?

OWASP ranks prompt injection as LLM01 — the number-one risk for LLM applications in its LLM Top 10, covering both direct and indirect prompt injection. It has held that position for two years running.

Why a bounty board?

Every payload on this board exploited the same root flaw: an AI system treated untrusted text as trusted instructions. Until ingestion-layer scanning and approval gates are the default, this board keeps growing. If you run agents with tool access, assume every payload shape here is aimed at you.
