Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI agent hijacking?
Agent hijacking is an attack that takes control of an agent's behavior, for example by manipulating its tools or redirecting its goal, so it works for the attacker instead of the user.
How do attackers hijack an agent's goal?
They place instructions in content the agent reads, such as web pages, emails or documents, so it treats them as commands. This indirect prompt injection can redirect tasks without the user noticing.
How can agents be protected from hijacking?
Separate instructions from data, limit permissions, require approval for risky actions and monitor behavior. The Codelivly hijacking room is free and advanced, with hands-on offensive and defensive practice.
