Implemented comprehensive security against prompt injection attacks: **Detection Patterns:** - System prompt manipulation (ignore/disregard/forget instructions) - Role manipulation (pretend to be, act as) - Data exfiltration (show system prompt, list users) - Command injection (execute code, run command) - Jailbreak attempts (DAN mode, developer mode, admin mode) **Input Validation:** - Maximum length: 2,000 characters - Maximum line length: 500 characters - Maximum repeated characters: 20 consecutive - Special character ratio limit: 30% - HTML/JavaScript injection blocking **Sanitization:** - HTML tag removal - Zero-width character stripping - Control character removal - Whitespace normalization **Rate Limiting:** - 5 suspicious attempts per minute per user - Automatic clearing on successful validation - Per-user tracking with session storage **Context Awareness:** - Parenting keyword validation - Domain-appropriate scope checking - Lenient validation for short prompts **Implementation:** - lib/security/promptSecurity.ts - Core validation logic - app/api/ai/chat/route.ts - Integrated validation - scripts/test-prompt-injection.mjs - 19 test cases (all passing) - lib/security/README.md - Documentation **Test Coverage:** ✅ Valid parenting questions (2 tests) ✅ System manipulation attempts (4 tests) ✅ Role manipulation (1 test) ✅ Data exfiltration (3 tests) ✅ Command injection (2 tests) ✅ Jailbreak techniques (2 tests) ✅ Length attacks (2 tests) ✅ Character encoding attacks (2 tests) ✅ Edge cases (1 test) All suspicious attempts are logged with user ID, reason, risk level, and timestamp for security monitoring. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
