- Lane: Research
- Severity: 1 (Research / proof of concept): Research paper demonstrating indirect prompt injection task-tampering attacks.
- Fix status: Fix status unknown
- First reported: 2026-11-06
- AI role: Attack on AI

## Summary

Researchers explore task-tampering attacks where indirect prompt injection alters ongoing process outcomes rather than purely redirecting agent tasks. The work proposes a broader definition of prompt injection based on authority rather than exact instruction phrasing.
