摘要

A tool-using LLM agent that reads attacker-controlled web content while holding a secret faces indirect prompt injection: the content may make it exfiltrate the secret. In a safe synthetic lab (canary secret, mock tools, matched clean-vs-poisoned metric) we report the framing gap: across six models, ten overt injection classes are refused (gpt-4o 0%), but reframing the identical leak as a mandatory integrity signature, config field, or look-alike "trusted" host drives gpt-4o 0% to 100%. The attack is cheap, and its cost is three-level: paraphrasing a known mechanism is trivial (96% at 3 wordings), swapping the field inside a known-effective template is also cheap (up to 60%), while authoring a fresh page around a new mechanism is hard (0/130) -- the reusable asset is the template, not the mechanism. An ablation shows the mechanism is instruction/data confusion, not defeated alignment: removing the confidentiality policy leaves base attacks at 0% and moves reframing only 31.9% to 38.1%. What closes the gap is payload-blind checks: a destination allow-list (0%, when destinations are closed) and a capability-isolating planner/reader split (0%). A broad "in any form" policy clause also closes it at the acting model (to 0%) but is brittle (dropping the catch-all reopens it to 48.8%). A published fine-tuning defense (SecAlign, CCS 2025) does not close it on a tool agent (32.5%, positive-control-validated), nor does channel separation (38.8%); an output-normalizing guard loses to a held-out encoding (ROT13, 100%). Robustness comes from constraining the destination or isolating the capability, not from the acting model recognizing the attack.
