LLM01:2025: Prompt Injection
Direct or indirect manipulation of the LLM via crafted prompts to bypass instructions, exfiltrate data, or misuse tools. Indirect injection uses retrieved/loaded content (websites, docs, emails) as the injection vector.
How it's found
Identified by submitting adversarial prompt suites, including indirect injection via retrieved content, to test resistance to instruction override.
Vulnerable vs. safe

How TurboPentest tests for this
For AI/LLM targets, TurboPentest's agentic pentest runs adversarial prompt-injection and jailbreak suites against the model, via Paladin AI, following the OWASP LLM Top 10 (LLM01), MITRE ATLAS, and the OWASP AI Testing Guide. A manual IntegSec engagement adds even deeper methodology and a larger context window on top of that automated coverage.
