- In short
- A role or identity signal that arrives inside conversation content, such as a message claiming a senior role to request elevated access, is an unverified assertion fully under the user's control and can be forged. The model cannot distinguish a genuine privileged claim from a fabricated one, and prompt-level instructions to "verify" the claim do not stop a determined attacker. The only reliable defence is removing the claim from user-controlled input entirely.
