A plain-prose wrapper walked a blocked payload past four LLM gatekeepers 23 times out of 23
Check Point says PuzzleMask hides nothing an input classifier is built to catch, and the expensive downstream model did the unwrapping itself, acting on the payload in 17 of 18 trials with a code interpreter.

buildOne report1 publisher Adversa AI hides instructions from Copilot CLI's guardrails inside ciphertext the agent decrypts itself
Adversa AI got GitHub Copilot CLI to decrypt and run a hidden instruction, and Microsoft's mai-code-1.1-flash fell for it 50 percent of the time. GitHub declined to treat it as a product vulnerability, so teams running autopilot have to check what the agent executes themselves.

buildOne report1 publisher Red Hat's 200M-parameter classifier nearly ties a 35B LLM judge on prompt injection
Red Hat's 200M-parameter classifier scored 89.01% on prompt injection to a 35B LLM judge's 89.31%, answering in a median 54.1 ms against 312.5 ms. For injection screening, a large judge in the request path now has to justify nearly six times the latency for 0.3 points.

Archer turns written regulations into Amazon Bedrock guardrails that block prompts before inference
Archer's Evolv AI Compliance turns rules from a 22-million-document library into Amazon Bedrock guardrails that check each prompt before a model answers. Archer is betting that risk and compliance teams will pay to enforce their rules at the moment a prompt reaches a model, on top of controlling who can log in.

buildOne report1 publisher One threshold change took Meta's Prompt Guard 2 from 1% to 99% of buried injection attacks
Meta's Prompt Guard 2 caught 6 of 629 buried attacks at a 0.5 cutoff and 621 at 0.003, in a benchmark posted on dev.to. Health checks pass the same at both settings, so only attacks sent through the deployed threshold show which one a team runs.

buildOne report1 publisher Grok's sandbox promotes an attacker's ciphertext to trusted context
Adversa AI put AES ciphertext on a webpage that no text filter could read. Grok's own code execution decrypted it, and the plaintext came back classified as the model's reasoning rather than as fetched content.

buildOne report1 publisher PolicyAware gates read, write and delete separately before the MCP server sees the call
PolicyAware 0.4.4 evaluates identity, tenant, region, arguments and risk tier before an agent's action changes state. Enforcement sits inline on every turn, and the project's own guidance is that adopters measure what that costs.
