Decoding Guardrails: XAI-Guided Perturbation Analysis of Prompt Injection Detection
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.24801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in production systems, raising concerns about their exposure to adversarial manipulation through prompt injection and jailbreak attacks. Classifier-based guardrails, such as Prompt Guard 2, are widely used as a first line of defense against such attacks, but their internal decision logic is largely opaque to both defenders and attackers. This paper presents an exploratory case study that applies explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to analyze how Prompt Guard 2 distinguishes

Why it matters
This development is a reminder to test misuse and data-leak scenarios alongside speed and quality. Trust should come from testable controls and clear failure reporting, not protection claims alone.
