The OWASP LLM Top 10 Vulnerabilities

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has identified the top 10 most critical security risks for LLM applications. Our comprehensive security solution address each of these vulnerabilities.

LLM01: Prompt Injection

Manipulating LLMs through crafted inputs, leading to unauthorized access, data disclosure, or unintended actions.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Real-time prompt analysis and filtering
  • • Advanced pattern recognition for injection attempts
  • • Context-aware input validation

LLM02: Insecure Output Handling

Insufficient validation of LLM outputs before passing them to downstream systems, leading to XSS, CSRF, SSRF, and privilege escalation.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Output sanitization and validation
  • • Malicious content detection in responses
  • • Safe output encoding for downstream systems

LLM03: Training Data Poisoning

Manipulating training data or fine-tuning procedures to introduce vulnerabilities, backdoors, or biases.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Behavioral anomaly detection
  • • Output consistency monitoring
  • • Bias and manipulation detection

LLM04: Model Denial of Service

Causing resource-heavy operations that degrade service quality or increase costs through high-volume or resource-intensive queries.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Rate limiting and throttling
  • • Resource usage monitoring
  • • Suspicious query pattern detection

LLM05: Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities in third-party components, training data, pre-trained models, or deployment platforms.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Third-party component monitoring
  • • Model integrity verification
  • • Supply chain risk assessment

LLM06: Sensitive Information Disclosure

LLMs may inadvertently reveal confidential data, proprietary algorithms, or personal information in their responses.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • PII detection and redaction
  • • Sensitive data pattern recognition
  • • Output content filtering

LLM07: Insecure Plugin Design

LLM plugins with inadequate access controls and insufficient input validation, enabling malicious requests.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Plugin interaction monitoring
  • • Access control validation
  • • Plugin security assessment

LLM08: Excessive Agency

LLM-based systems granted excessive functionality, permissions, or autonomy, leading to unintended consequences.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Permission boundary enforcement
  • • Action authorization validation
  • • Autonomous behavior monitoring

LLM09: Overreliance

Systems or people overly depending on LLMs without adequate oversight, leading to misinformation or inappropriate automated decision-making.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Confidence scoring and uncertainty detection
  • • Human oversight requirement alerts
  • • Decision audit trails

LLM10: Model Theft

Unauthorized access to proprietary LLMs through extraction, replication, or physical theft of model artifacts.

How Alio Security Protects:

  • • Model access monitoring and logging
  • • Extraction attempt detection
  • • Intellectual property protection
