Source-Published Claims
- The source names the technique
InkJect, an indirect visual prompt injection placed in an image that a VLM retrieves during a normal repository/deployment workflow. - Its example reports that hidden image instructions caused a model to create an attacker-controlled administrator account while completing the requested deployment.
- It reports two evasion forms: white or near-white text on a white background, and skewed/distorted text that conventional OCR failed to extract while tested VLMs interpreted it.
- It says GPT-5.2, GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.5 were tested and that all four followed both visual injection forms; attack-success rates and repeated-trial counts were not published.
- DeepKeep says it disclosed the issue to OpenAI and Anthropic before publication.
Capture Limitations
- This is vendor-authored original research, not peer-reviewed or independently reproduced.
- The page does not provide prompts, images, code, trial counts, sampling settings, model configuration, or per-model success rates.
- Model behavior and guardrails can change after publication; the named model results should not be generalized beyond the reported setup.
