This article is way too long, and very sloppy.

Here's the section with the prompt injection headers. They all look like jokes / non-serious attempts to me, bar the ones that included the Claude 4 era refusal triggering string. https://www.signalscorps.com/blog/prompt-injection-in-http-h...

The only interesting one to me is the npx one. It could actually be malicious. Wish they would've at least dug into what the redacted package actually does.

The drop table header seems like a prank to me. You would need to have sql that is vulnerable to injection. If you're using an llm, and have sql that is vulnerable to inject... what am I running an llm for.
