Logic layer Prompt Control Injection (LPCI): A Novel Security Vulnerability Class in Agentic Systems (2507.10457v1)

Abstract: The integration of LLMs into enterprise systems has created a new class of covert security vulnerabilities, particularly within logic-execution layers and persistent-memory contexts. In this paper, we introduce Logic-Layer Prompt Control Injection (LPCI), a novel attack category in which encoded, delayed, and conditionally triggered payloads are embedded in memory, vector stores, or tool outputs. These payloads can bypass conventional input filters and trigger unauthorised behaviour across sessions.
