AML.T0061
LLM Prompt Self-Replication

MITRE source definition

An adversary may use a carefully crafted [LLM Prompt Injection](/techniques/AML.T0051) designed to cause the LLM to replicate the prompt as part of its output. This allows the prompt to propagate to other LLMs and persist on the system. The self-replicating prompt is typically paired with other malicious instructions (ex: [LLM Jailbreak](/techniques/AML.T0054), [LLM Data Leakage](/techniques/AML.T0057)).

Simulation and telemetry boundary

This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.

For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
