Prompt injection via clipboard copy/paste is a security concern where malicious text, copied into a clipboard, is inadvertently pasted into a system or application that processes it as a command or input. This exploit can trick AI systems, software applications, or even command-line interfaces into executing unintended instructions, potentially compromising data integrity, user privacy, or system security. For example, an AI model designed to assist with text-based tasks might interpret injected prompts as legitimate instructions, altering its behavior or providing sensitive outputs. This risk highlights the importance of validating and sanitizing inputs, especially from external or untrusted sources, to prevent accidental execution of harmful commands.
