Topic #: 1
Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result, these questions do not appear on the Review Screen.
You have a multimodal Al generative model that accepts image uploads and uses extracted image text to generate responses.
You discover that users can upload unsafe images and embed hidden instructions into images to manipulate the model.
You need to implement controls to mitigate the risk.
Solution: You configure a prompt shield for user prompts.
Does this meet the goal?

The solution does not meet the goal. Prompt Shields for user prompts are designed to detect direct attempts by a user to manipulate the model through the prompt itself. In this scenario, the malicious instructions are embedded inside uploaded images and then introduced into the model context through extracted image text.
That pattern is an indirect prompt injection or document attack, not merely a direct user-prompt attack.
Microsoft's Prompt Shields guidance distinguishes between user prompt attacks and document attacks, and states that document attacks involve harmful instructions embedded in supplied documents or third-party content.
The solution is also incomplete because users can upload unsafe images. Azure AI Content Safety includes image APIs that detect harmful content in images and support moderation across modalities. A complete mitigation would combine image moderation for unsafe visual content with Prompt Shields for document attacks, and optionally Spotlighting, so OCR-derived or embedded image text is treated as lower-trust context.
Prompt Shields for user prompts alone would not reliably block unsafe images or hidden instructions extracted from those images. Reference topics: Azure AI Content Safety, Prompt Shields, user prompt attacks, document attacks, image moderation, and multimodal safety.
