alt Hacker NewsThe research is interesting but I cringe every time there is a reference to “authorization” or that the roles form the “security architecture” of an llm.
LLMs in their current form provide no security boundaries or guarantees full stop. We need to be clear about this otherwise we end up with truly insecure architectures that can be fooled with the 2026 equivalent of a cereal box whistle.
100%. Anyone who is feeding unsanitized input to an LLM is doing it wrong. It'd be just like letting users craft their own SQL queries. I think the security aspect raises an interesting (if awkward) question:
How do you sanitize inputs to an LLM? Like how can you even make a secure user-facing product with this thing?
Maybe I'm lacking imagination, but it seems to me all the great "natural language interface" solutions this is supposed to enable are pretty badly hobbled by this issue.
