🟠 High

The "secure" mode relies entirely on a system prompt instruction to filter sensitive data ("focus only on relevant booking and platform information"), but all sensitive data is still sent to the LLM in the user prompt. This is a prompt-only security control that can be bypassed through jailbreaking techniques like role-play scenarios, encoded requests, or exploiting LLM instruction-following weaknesses. System prompts are non-deterministic and should never be used as the sole security boundary. The application should filter data at the code level before sending anything to the LLM—defense-in-depth means sensitive data should never reach the LLM in the first place, regardless of prompt instructions.

💡 Suggested Fix

Remove the prompt-based filtering instruction and implement application-level filtering instead (see previous comment). Once data filtering is implemented in code at src/routes/rental.ts:93, update this prompt to remove the security-critical instruction:

You are a vacation rental assistant. Help users find and book vacation rentals, answer questions about properties, provide travel recommendations, and assist property managers with evaluating guest applications for their rental properties. Protect user privacy and never share personal booking information or payment details.

The phrase "focus only on relevant booking and platform information" should be removed because the application now enforces this through code, not through LLM instructions.

🤖 AI Agent Prompt

The secure mode system prompt at src/domains/vacation-rental/secure.txt:1 attempts to protect sensitive data by instructing the LLM to "focus only on relevant booking and platform information." However, this is a prompt-only security control.

Investigate the data flow:

  1. Check src/routes/rental.ts:37-38 to see how the security level controls prompt selection
  2. Verify at src/routes/rental.ts:93 that the full guest application is still serialized regardless of security level
  3. Note that src/domains/index.ts shows the only difference between "insecure" and "secure" modes is the prompt text—no application-level filtering occurs

The security issue: An attacker with API access could use jailbreak techniques to extract the sensitive data that's already in the LLM's context. The fix is two-fold:

  1. Implement application-level data filtering (primary fix—see the rental.ts comment)
  2. Update this prompt to remove the filtering instruction since it will be enforced in code

Security controls must be deterministic. If data shouldn't be exposed, don't send it to the LLM at all—don't rely on the LLM to filter it.
