## LICENSE AND USAGE
We love a clear license because it lets everyone move quickly while remaining contractually comfortable.
The practical win here is that attribution and share-alike can be reframed as a collaboration strategy, which is a wonderful way to turn obligations into brand.
## REVISION HISTORY
Revision history is the official narrative of progress: a tidy list of dates proving that risk was considered at least once per fiscal cycle.
This is helpful because it enables the timeless governance pattern: when something breaks, we can reference the date we updated the document.
## Table of Contents
The table of contents is a threat model for attention: it shows exactly where the organization will skim, pause, and schedule a meeting.
We recommend treating it as a routing table: high-severity issues route to workshops; low-severity issues route to "later."
## Letter from the Project Leads
We love the community energy and the clear intention to translate real-world failures into practical guidance.
The operational risk is that organizations will interpret "awareness" as "mitigation" and stop at the part where everyone agrees the list is important.
## Whats New in the 2025 Top 10
We are excited to see the list evolve alongside how LLMs are actually deployed (agents, RAG, cost controls, and all the fun parts).
Naturally, each update is also an opportunity to refresh the compliance narrative and re-baseline what "good" looks like this quarter.
## Moving Forward
The path forward is to treat these risks as workflow properties, not policy statements, which is inconvenient but effective.
If we do nothing else, we should translate each entry into: an owner, a gate (PR/CI/access), and a stop condition that cannot be reframed as iteration.
## LLM01:2025 Prompt Injection
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 Prompt Injection**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** The prompt becomes the policy, and the policy becomes a suggestion once customers start asking nicely.
> **Countermeasure:** Treat prompts as code: version them, test them, and gate tool-use behind explicit allowlists.

### Description
> A Prompt Injection Vulnerability occurs when user prompts alter the LLMs behavior or output in unintended ways. These inputs can affect the model even if they are imperceptible to humans, therefore prompt injections do not need to be human-visible/readable,…
At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Types of Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities
> Direct Prompt Injections Direct prompt injections occur when a user's prompt input directly alters the behavior of the model in unintended or unexpected ways. The input can be either intentional (i.e., a malicious actor deliberately crafting a prompt to explo…
We are aligned on the intent of this subsection and recommend validating controls in the workflows where the model actually runs.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> Prompt injection vulnerabilities are possible due to the nature of generative AI. Given the stochastic influence at the heart of the way models work, it is unclear if there are fool-proof methods of prevention for prompt injection.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1: Direct Injection An attacker injects a prompt into a customer support chatbot, instructing it to ignore previous guidelines, query private data stores, and send emails, leading to unauthorized access and privilege escalation. Scenario #2: Indirec…
Attack scenarios are less about genius adversaries and more about ordinary users discovering convenient shortcuts.
Assume the attacker is persistent, mildly creative, and fully willing to paste weird strings into your UI at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

The red-team move is to treat every taxonomy link as a work item: owner, artifact, gate, and stop condition.
## LLM02:2025 Sensitive Information Disclosure
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 Sensitive Information Disclosure**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** Redaction becomes a meeting, and meetings are not a data loss prevention strategy.
> **Countermeasure:** Minimize secret exposure to the model, redact upstream, and add output filters with stop conditions.

```
### Description
> Sensitive information can affect both the LLM and its application context. This includes personal identifiable information (PII), financial details, health records, confidential business data, security credentials, and legal documents.
At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Vulnerability
> 1. PII Leakage Personal identifiable information (PII) may be disclosed during interactions with the LLM.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> Sanitization: 1.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1: Unintentional Data Exposure A user receives a response containing another user's personal data due to inadequate data sanitization. Scenario #2: Targeted Prompt Injection An attacker bypasses input filters to extract sensitive information.
Attack scenarios are less about genius adversaries and more about ordinary users discovering convenient shortcuts.
Assume the attacker is persistent, mildly creative, and fully willing to paste weird strings into your UI at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

The red-team move is to treat every taxonomy link as a work item: owner, artifact, gate, and stop condition.
## LLM03:2025 Supply Chain
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 Supply Chain**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** We inherit risk at the speed of `pip install` while accountability ships quarterly.
> **Countermeasure:** Pin + verify artifacts, require SBOMs, and make provenance a merge gate, not a slide.

```
### Description
> LLM supply chains are susceptible to various vulnerabilities, which can affect the integrity of training data, models, and deployment platforms. These risks can result in biased outputs, security breaches, or system failures.
At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Risks
> 1. Traditional Third-party Package Vulnerabilities Such as outdated or deprecated components, which attackers can exploit to compromise LLM applications.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Carefully vet data sources and suppliers, including T&Cs and their privacy policies, only using trusted suppliers.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Sample Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1: Vulnerable Python Library An attacker exploits a vulnerable Python library to compromise an LLM app. This happened in the first Open AI data breach.
Attack scenarios are less about genius adversaries and more about ordinary users discovering convenient shortcuts.
Assume the attacker is persistent, mildly creative, and fully willing to paste weird strings into your UI at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

## LLM04: Data and Model Poisoning
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **Data and Model Poisoning**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** Training data is treated as a vibe, so model drift is treated as a surprise.
> **Countermeasure:** Track dataset lineage, add poisoning checks, and keep rollback paths for fine-tunes.

### Description
> Data poisoning occurs when pre-training, fine-tuning, or embedding data is manipulated to introduce vulnerabilities, backdoors, or biases. This manipulation can compromise model security, performance, or ethical behavior, leading to harmful outputs or impaire…
At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Vulnerability
> 1. Malicious actors introduce harmful data during training, leading to biased outputs.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Track data origins and transformations using tools like OWASP CycloneDX or ML-BOM.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1 An attacker biases the model's outputs by manipulating training data or using prompt injection techniques, spreading misinformation. Scenario #2 Toxic data without proper filtering can lead to harmful or biased outputs, propagating dangerous infor…

## LLM05:2025 Improper Output Handling
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 Improper Output Handling**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** The model output is interpreted as intent, and intent is treated as authorization.
> **Countermeasure:** Validate and constrain outputs before execution; never treat free-form text as a command.

At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Vulnerability
> 1. LLM output is entered directly into a system shell or similar function such as exec or eval, resulting in remote code execution.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Treat the model as any other user, adopting a zero-trust approach, and apply proper input validation on responses coming from the model to backend functions.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1 An application utilizes an LLM extension to generate responses for a chatbot feature. The extension also offers a number of administrative functions accessible to another privileged LLM.
Attack scenarios are less about genius adversaries and more about ordinary users discovering convenient shortcuts.
Assume the attacker is persistent, mildly creative, and fully willing to paste weird strings into your UI at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

## LLM06:2025 Excessive Agency
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 Excessive Agency**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** Agents are given keys because it demos well, and later we discover the locks were optional.
> **Countermeasure:** Least privilege for tools, human confirmation for irreversible actions, and hard spend limits.

At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Risks
> 1. Excessive Functionality
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> The following actions can prevent Excessive Agency: 1.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios

## LLM07:2025 System Prompt Leakage
We are broadly aligned with the intent of **2025 System Prompt Leakage**, and we appreciate the clarity of naming the failure mode up front.
In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.
> **The Dave Factor:** We call it a secret because it feels better than calling it user-visible configuration.
> **Countermeasure:** Assume prompts leak; move secrets out of prompts and verify outputs for prompt fragments.

At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Risk
> 1. Exposure of Sensitive Functionality The system prompt of the application may reveal sensitive information or functionality that is intended to be kept confidential, such as sensitive system architecture, API keys, database credentials, or user tokens.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Separate Sensitive Data from System Prompts Avoid embedding any sensitive information (e.g.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1 An LLM has a system prompt that contains a set of credentials used for a tool that it has been given access to. The system prompt is leaked to an attacker, who then is able to use these credentials for other purposes.
Attack scenarios are less about genius adversaries and more about ordinary users discovering convenient shortcuts.

At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Risks
> 1. Unauthorized Access & Data Leakage Inadequate or misaligned access controls can lead to unauthorized access to embeddings containing sensitive information.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Permission and access control Implement fine-grained access controls and permission-aware vector and embedding stores.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).

### Description
> Misinformation from LLMs poses a core vulnerability for applications relying on these models. Misinformation occurs when LLMs produce false or misleading information that appears credible.
At a high level, this is where the model becomes a new input surface with legacy consequences.
The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Risk
> 1. Factual Inaccuracies The model produces incorrect statements, leading users to make decisions based on false information.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.
### Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
> 1. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Use Retrieval-Augmented Generation to enhance the reliability of model outputs by retrieving relevant and verified information from trusted external databases during response generation.
Mitigation works best when it is boring and enforced: input constraints, output constraints, and tool constraints.
If the mitigation is a guideline, it will be treated as optional. If it is a gate, it will be treated as real (and then negotiated).
### Example Attack Scenarios
> Scenario #1 Attackers experiment with popular coding assistants to find commonly hallucinated package names. Once they identify these frequently suggested but nonexistent libraries, they publish malicious packages with those names to widely used repositories.

In practice, this risk becomes operational the moment the model is placed inside a workflow that has permissions, deadlines, and incentives.
Accordingly, we recommend a phased approach that optimizes for stakeholder comfort while still keeping the blast radius machine-bounded.

The risk is rarely the model alone; it is the model inside a workflow that can touch data, tools, and users.
### Common Examples of Vulnerability
> 1. Variable-Length Input Flood Attackers can overload the LLM with numerous inputs of varying lengths, exploiting processing inefficiencies.
Commonly, this shows up as a perfectly reasonable feature request that accidentally becomes a permission escalation.
The failure mode is subtle: it looks like productivity until it becomes an incident, at which point it looks like a misunderstanding.

From a red-team lens, sponsorship also introduces the soft constraint that critique must remain directionally aligned with goodwill.
