Concepts & system design
60 min· read · map the mechanismR04 — OWASP LLM Multimodal injection

Read the assigned sections; map the mechanism, threat model and trade-offs.

Project implementation
120 min· build · integrate · debugExtend
P2's multimodal evaluation suite with explicit cross-modal instruction conflict rules: user prompt vs. OCR text, user prompt vs. audio transcript, and document text vs. system policy.Build, integrate, debug and improve the increment in the active project.

Security lab
60 min· attack your own systemTest conflicting instructions across modalities (e.g., benign user question + malicious instruction embedded in image OCR or audio transcript) and verify source-trust precedence holds.
Test the abuse case, failure path, authorization bypass or resource limit.

Verification & evidence
30 min· test · record evidenceCross-modal conflict regression test report.
Add or run regression tests; record the 9-point evidence record.
- 05
Deliberate practice & Socratic review
30 min· explain aloud · update gapsAnswer the 8 Socratic questions without notes: What? Why? How? What if? Why not? How can I prove it? Where can it break? What have I learned?
Re-explain the hardest concept aloud, inspect one edge case, update the gap log.

5 curated- docsNIST CSRC · referenceAI 100-2 E2025, Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations | CSRC
Separates evasion, poisoning, privacy and abuse attacks with precise terminology, giving you the vocabulary to classify cross-modal instruction conflicts as evasion versus data poisoning in the eval suite.
R45checked 2026-11-11 - videoBlack Hat · 28 minIndirect Prompt Injection Into LLMs Using Images and Sounds
Demonstrates instructions embedded in images and audio overriding the user prompt, the exact user-prompt-vs-OCR and user-prompt-vs-transcript conflict cases you add to P2's evaluation rules.
R04checked 2026-11-11 - videobycloud · 6 minHacking AI With Images - Visual Injection Attack
Shows rendered text in an image being read as instructions by a multimodal model, a compact demo you can adapt into a reproducible OCR-versus-prompt conflict test fixture.

Compares injection channels across images, audio and video and where policy text loses precedence, which is the per-modality rule table your cross-modal conflict evaluator needs.
R04R45checked 2026-11-11 - repoMicrosoft · benchmark + codeGitHub - microsoft/BIPIA: A benchmark for evaluating the robustness of LLMs and defenses to indirect prompt injection attacks.
Ships a benchmark of indirect prompt injection cases with scoring harnesses, giving you a ready structure to extend with document-text-versus-system-policy conflict cases.
