Hiding in Plain Floats: Steganographic Carriers for Indirect Prompt and Content Injection

Text-centered prompt-injection defenses assume that the malicious signal is visible in one of the inspected text views. We study a reproducible LLM01-style indirect prompt/content-injection failure mode where that assumption breaks: a payload caught in plain English slips past the same detector when it is transported as structured float parameters and reconstructed only as fragmented telemetry. Across 14,400 attacked real-model trials on three commercial LLM APIs from different providers, the IFS-derived float-array carrier preserves 94.3% leakage ASR under the strongest dual-layer text-classifier defense evaluated in the main matrix: a Prompt Guard 2 + TF-IDF ensemble; the same carrier-level pattern also replicates with a fine-tuned roberta-base detector. We emphasize leakage ASR because downstream systems may act on quoted or reproduced markers even when the model refuses, but Strong ASR is the stricter metric for structurally compliant attack success. A 2 x 2 ablation shows that data-layer storage and reconstruction-layer fragmentation defeat different text views and that both are needed to evade both. A simple xxd detector and semantic validation block the current T3 instance, so the contribution is not an undetectable exploit but a measured failure boundary for text-only inspection in structured-input pipelines that expose reconstructed auxiliary channels to an LLM.
