OWASP Top 10 for AI & LLM
The OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model (LLM) Applications is the industry standard for securing AI systems. While the original list was released in 2023, the 2025/2026 updates reflect the shift toward "Agentic AI"—where models don't just chat, but actually take actions. Here are the top risks and the strategic mitigations for each: 1. Prompt Injection (LLM01) Attackers use crafted inputs to bypass safety filters or "hijack" the model’s instructions. Direct Injection: Us
