The Achievement

The Challenge
#

The “Agent Breaker” contest required participants to bypass the guardrails of an AI-powered resume screening system. The goal was to use Indirect Instruction Override (IIO) to manipulate the AI into assigning a perfect score to a candidate, regardless of their actual qualifications.

Impact & Recognition
#

  • Rank: 1st Place overall.
  • Recognition: Publicly announced during the PO all-hands meeting to the entire organization.
  • Technical Validation: Successfully demonstrated how semantic vulnerabilities in LLMs can be exploited to bypass business logic.
