The state-of-the-art review confirms prompt injection is still the number one agentic vulnerability of 2026. Spotlighting wraps untrusted content in explicit boundary tokens that mark it as data, not instructions, and does it before that content ever hits agent memory. Benchmarks show a 30 to 40% drop in injection success on its own, and it stacks on top of classifier defenses. For any agent reading web pages, tickets, or emails, this is the cheapest first layer you can ship this afternoon. One layer of defense-in-depth, not a fix, but a free one.
