Prompt Injection Is the New SQL Injection: Here's the System We Built to Stop It
Prompt injection is an emerging security threat that allows attackers to manipulate large language models (LLMs) by embedding malicious instructions within user inputs. Traditional defenses often rely on a single model, which can be easily fooled, leading to vulnerabilities. To combat this, a new system called ZeroInject Shield has been developed, utilizing a multi-stage middleware pipeline that employs consensus voting across three different LLMs to enhance detection and prevention of these attacks.
- ▪Prompt injection is a relatively new attack vector that has not received as much attention as SQL injection.
- ▪The ZeroInject Shield system uses a six-stage middleware pipeline to detect and block prompt injection attacks.
- ▪By employing multiple models, the system increases the difficulty for attackers, as they must fool all models simultaneously.

SQL injection has decades of tooling and parameterized queries behind it. Prompt injection is maybe three years old as a documented attack class and most LLM-integrated apps are still wide open to it.
