- Welcome to Lesson 2: Understanding Prompt Injection and Insecure Output Handling. In this lesson, we will go over two critical security issues that are affecting large language models and their implementations. Those are prompt injection attacks and insecure output handling. You will learn what prompt injection attacks are and explore real life examples and understand how these vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers. We will cover best practices for mitigating this risk, including ChatML for secure API calls, enforcing privilege controls on LLM access, and adhering to the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard, or ASVS, for protecting against insecure output handling as well. Let's get started.
