Sneaking Invisible Instructions by Developers in Windsurf

Imagine a malicious instruction hidden in plain sight, invisible to you but not to the AI. This is a vulnerability discovered in Windsurf Cascade, it follows invisible instructions. This means there can be instructions in a file or result of a tool call that the developer cannot see, but the LLM does. Some LLMs interpret invisible Unicode Tag characters as instructions, which can lead to hidden prompt injection.
