Prompt injection is the new SQLi: attacking LLM features in prod

Support bots with tool access are the softest target we test. How our AI chains prompt injection into data exfiltration, and what actually mitigates it.

Support bots with tool access are the softest target we test. Prompt injection lets an attacker borrow the model’s privileges, and from there data exfiltration is often a single well-crafted message away.

Why it matters

We keep seeing this pattern across the applications we test. It rarely shows up in a vulnerability scanner's signature list, because exploiting it means chaining a few small assumptions together the way a real attacker would — which is exactly what our AI is built to do.

What we recommend

Treat every trust boundary as hostile, verify server-side, and wire a check into your pipeline so a regression fails the build instead of shipping to production. If you want us to confirm whether you're exposed, point a free pentest at your URL and we'll have a prioritized report back in minutes.
