Prompt injection is emerging as one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities in modern AI systems. By embedding hidden directives in user inputs, attackers can manipulate AI agents into leaking data, distorting results, or executing unauthorized actions. Real-world incidents—from Google Bard exploits to browser-based attacks—show how pervasive the threat has become. For e-commerce platforms and developers, defense requires layered strategies: immutable core prompts, role-based API restrictions, output validation, and continuous adversarial testing. In the era of agentic AI, safeguarding against prompt injection is no longer optional—it’s mission-critical.
