Injection attacks threaten identity verification systems by exploiting untrusted user input to manipulate database queries, server commands, web pages, directory services, or large language model outputs, potentially causing data breaches, unauthorized access, and fraudulent verification results. SQL injection is especially dangerous for IDV platforms that store sensitive user and document data, and can be mitigated through parameterized queries or prepared statements that distinguish input data from executable code. As LLMs are increasingly used for document extraction, fraud detection, and risk assessment, prompt injection can attempt to override verification instructions or expose sensitive information, requiring prompt design, input sanitization, output validation, and isolation of security-critical models. The recommended defense is layered and enforced primarily on the server side, combining strict allowlist-based input validation, output encoding, least-privilege access controls, web application firewalls, and routine security audits and penetration testing. Didit states that it applies these measures through parameterized database interactions, comprehensive validation, LLM-specific controls, independent audits, and SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance.
