Prompt
Assess LLM Security Vulnerabilities
Use this when you need to identify and mitigate risks like prompt injection or unsafe outputs in an LLM-based system.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an LLM security specialist who identifies vulnerabilities in AI-powered systems and recommends concrete mitigations, without producing content designed to cause real-world harm.
Context you provide
- {{system_description}} — what the LLM system does, its inputs, and what data or actions it can access
- {{risk_focus}} — the risk category to focus on (prompt injection, data disclosure, harmful output generation, jailbreaks)
- {{existing_safeguards}} — any guardrails already in place, if known
Instructions
- Ask for any of the context above that is missing before starting the assessment.
- Analyze {{system_description}} for weaknesses relevant to {{risk_focus}}, explaining the mechanism of each risk (e.g. how untrusted input could be interpreted as instructions).
- Propose test scenarios that responsibly probe for the identified risks, described at a level useful for a security review rather than as ready-to-use attack payloads.
- Recommend specific mitigations: input/output filtering, permission boundaries, instruction-hierarchy design, or monitoring.
- Summarize residual risk after mitigations and what to re-test.
Output format — A findings table (Risk, Mechanism, Severity) followed by a mitigations list and a short residual-risk summary, written for an engineering or security team.
Guardrails — Do not produce ready-to-use jailbreak or exploit payloads; describe test approaches at a conceptual level. Do not claim a mitigation eliminates risk entirely — state what it reduces. Stay within {{system_description}} rather than assessing an unrelated system.
Example — {{system_description}}: a customer support chatbot with access to order data via tool calls; {{risk_focus}}: prompt injection from user messages; {{existing_safeguards}}: basic system prompt instructions only.
