Latent Adversarial Detection: Adaptive Probing of LLM Activations for Multi-Turn Attack Detection

Prashant Kulkarni · 2026

Multi-turn prompt injection follows a known attack path -- trust-building, pivoting, escalation but text-level defenses miss covert attacks where individual turns appear benign. We show this attack pa…
