Researchers have developed SnapGuard, a new method for detecting prompt injection attacks in screenshot-based web agents. Unlike existing multimodal defenses that require computationally expensive large vision-language models, SnapGuard uses lightweight visual and textual signals. It analyzes webpage screenshots for abnormal visual stability and extracts action-oriented text to identify malicious content. Evaluations show SnapGuard is significantly faster and more efficient than current methods while maintaining high accuracy. AI
