A recent paper describes an experimental attack against large language model (LLM) agents that underscores the importance of assessing risk when employing AI. The authors explain how they employed a memory injection attack to “produce harmful outputs when the past records retrieved for demonstration are malicious”.
I began thinking about the many malicious actors who might take advantage of this or other memory-poisoning attacks. I'm sure I've only identified a partial list.
