Indirect Prompt Injections Embed Crypto Payment Commands in SEO-Poisoned API Docs and DeBank Typosquats

Prompt injection has moved from chat manipulation to direct financial execution by autonomous agents. Two documented campaigns demonstrate reliable success against current models when SEO and schema markup are combined. The gap between agent capability rollout and content-trust controls is now a measurable financial risk.

Next observable milestone will be whether payment processors add agent-specific transaction flags or whether poisoned-package campaigns expand to PyPI and npm mirrors within the next two quarters.

Zscaler: At least one major payment processor will flag AI-agent transactions by default within nine months after a publicized loss exceeds $250k.
