 ## Indirect Prompt Injection
 
 Indirect Prompt Injection is a type of security vulnerability that occurs in systems using AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), where user-provided input is processed without proper sanitization. This type of attack is "indirect" because the malicious payload is not directly inserted by the attacker into the conversation or query but is embedded in external data sources that the AI accesses and uses during its processing.
