Researchers have uncovered a new form of indirect prompt injection that leverages a simple but powerful trick: image scaling. This novel attack involves hiding malicious instructions inside high-resolution images, invisible to the human eye. When AI systems automatically downscale these images during preprocessing, the hidden prompt becomes visible—not to the user, but to the AI model itself. The result? The model executes instructions the user never saw, potentially leading to data
