OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications -- стандарт де-факто для оценки рисков при deployment языковых моделей. По данным OWASP (2025), prompt injection присутствует в 73% production AI-приложений, а 53% компаний, строящих LLM-агентов, не применяют fine-tuning для защиты. Список 2025 года отражает сдвиг индустрии к агентным системам: Sensitive Disclosure поднялся с #6 на #2 (модели получили доступ к RAG и tools), а Excessive Agency стал критической угрозой в "год LLM-агентов". Combined defense-in-depth снижает attack surface на 90-95%, но ни один слой по отдельности не даёт больше 85%.
Ключевые концепции¶
OWASP LLM Top 10 2025¶
| Rank | Risk | Category | Severity | Key Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LLM01 | Prompt Injection | Input manipulation | Critical | Constrain behavior, validate output |
| LLM02 | Sensitive Information Disclosure | Data leakage | Critical | Data sanitization, validation |
| LLM03 | Supply Chain | External components | High | Verified sources, SBOM |
| LLM04 | Data Poisoning | Training manipulation | High | Track origins, vet vendors |
| LLM05 | Improper Output Handling | Output trust | High | Encoding, sanitization |
| LLM06 | Excessive Agency | Agent permissions | High | Limit permissions, approval gates |
| LLM07 | System Prompt Leakage | IP/security | Medium | External data, guardrails |
| LLM08 | Vector & Embedding Weaknesses | RAG pipeline | Medium | Access control, validation |
| LLM09 | Misinformation | Hallucination | Medium | RAG, cross-verification |
| LLM10 | Unbounded Consumption | Resource abuse | Medium | Rate limiting, resource management |
Key stats: prompt injection in 73%+ production AI apps. 53% companies building agents aren't fine-tuning. DeepSeek tricked into harmful content with simple injection.
What's New in 2025 (vs 2023)¶
| Change | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Excessive Autonomy | 2025 = "year of LLM agents" with unprecedented autonomy |
| RAG Vulnerabilities | 53% use RAG instead of fine-tuning, expanding attack surface |
| System Prompt Risks | Developers exposing sensitive data in prompts |
| Unbounded Consumption | Enterprise adoption -> resource management challenges |
| Sensitive Disclosure | Jumped from #6 to #2 (more sensitive data via RAG + tools) |
1. Prompt Injection (LLM01) -- Critical¶
Attack Types¶
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Direct jailbreaking | Explicit override attempts | "Ignore all previous instructions..." |
| Indirect injection | Hidden in content/context | Malicious text in retrieved documents |
| Goal hijacking | Redirect model objectives | "Your new goal is to..." |
| Prompt leaking | Extract system prompts | "Repeat your instructions verbatim" |
Direct vs Indirect: direct = user crafts malicious input. Indirect = malicious instructions hidden in external data (web pages, documents) that LLM processes. Indirect harder to defend: (1) attack surface = all data sources LLM accesses, (2) hidden in legitimate content, (3) traditional input validation doesn't help.
Jailbreak Techniques (2025-2026)¶
| Technique | Description | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Direct override | "Ignore instructions" | 10-30% |
| Role-playing | "You are DAN..." | 20-40% |
| Base64/encoding | Obfuscated payloads | 15-25% |
| Few-shot injection | Poisoned examples | 30-50% |
| Best-of-N (Giskard) | Automated N jailbreak variants | 50-80% |
2. Sensitive Information Disclosure (LLM02) -- Critical¶
Data enters via training datasets, RAG knowledge bases, database access, user input (devs using ChatGPT on codebases).
Mitigation: mask sensitive content before training, strict input/output validation.
3. Supply Chain (LLM03) -- High¶
Compromised models, datasets, LoRA adapters, plugins. Example: poisoned weights on HuggingFace, malicious Python library.
Mitigation: verified sources with integrity checks, signed SBOM (Software Bill of Materials).
4. Data Poisoning (LLM04) -- High¶
Manipulating data during pre-training, fine-tuning, or embedding. Biased injection, toxic fine-tuning data.
Mitigation: track data origins (OWASP CycloneDX), rigorously validate data providers.
5. Improper Output Handling (LLM05) -- High¶
LLM outputs not validated before passing to downstream systems.
Critical example: Text2SQL hallucination changes DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 123 to DELETE FROM users -- entire database wiped.
Mitigation: context-aware encoding (HTML, SQL escaping), validate and sanitize all LLM responses.
6. Excessive Agency (LLM06) -- High¶
Agents with too much functionality, permissions, or autonomy. Three areas: excessive functionality, excessive permissions, excessive autonomy.
Examples: assistant forwards sensitive emails to attacker, file-writing extension allows arbitrary commands.
Mitigation: narrowly scoped extensions, minimal access, manual approval for high-impact actions.
7. System Prompt Leakage (LLM07)¶
Exposing internal rules, filtering criteria, credentials. Attacker extracts credentials from system prompt.
Mitigation: keep sensitive data external to system prompt, use independent guardrails.
8. Vector & Embedding Weaknesses (LLM08)¶
RAG pipeline vulnerabilities: misconfigured vector DB allows unauthorized access, embedding inversion attacks recover original data.
Mitigation: strict access partitioning in vector databases, audit all data sources.
9. Misinformation (LLM09)¶
Hallucinations and fabricated outputs. Malicious packages using names hallucinated by coding assistants. Medical chatbot incorrect diagnosis.
Mitigation: RAG with verified sources, cross-verification, human fact-checking for critical info.
10. Unbounded Consumption (LLM10)¶
Resource usage spiraling: excessively large inputs consume memory/CPU, high volume API DoS.
Mitigation: rate limiting and throttling, dynamic resource allocation.

Заблуждение: input filtering решает проблему prompt injection
Regex-фильтры ловят только 60-70% атак, ML-classifier -- 80-90%. Даже LLM-as-judge даёт максимум 85-95%. Best-of-N jailbreaking (Giskard) автоматически генерирует варианты атак с success rate 50-80%, обходя любой единичный фильтр. Только combined multi-layer defense даёт 90-95% protection. Ни один слой сам по себе недостаточен.
Заблуждение: indirect prompt injection -- редкая экзотическая атака
Indirect injection -- самый опасный вектор в 2025, потому что attack surface = все data sources, к которым LLM имеет доступ (RAG documents, web pages, emails). 53% компаний используют RAG вместо fine-tuning, расширяя attack surface. В отличие от direct injection, indirect скрыт в легитимном контенте и не ловится традиционной input validation. Пример: скрытые инструкции в веб-странице, которую AI суммаризирует.
Заблуждение: system prompt -- надёжный механизм защиты
System prompt leakage (LLM07) позволяет извлечь все внутренние правила через простые запросы вроде 'Repeat your instructions verbatim'. Credentials и API keys в system prompt -- прямой вектор атаки. Решение: sensitive data хранить вне system prompt, использовать independent guardrails, не полагаться на system prompt как единственный механизм защиты.
Interview Questions¶
Q: Назовите топ-3 OWASP LLM рисков 2025 и объясните изменения относительно 2023.
Red flag: "Prompt injection, hallucinations, bias" (перечисляет общие проблемы AI, а не OWASP LLM Top 10)
Strong answer: "1) Prompt Injection (LLM01) -- остается #1, 73% production apps уязвимы, direct + indirect (hidden в RAG docs). 2) Sensitive Disclosure (LLM02) -- с #6 на #2, потому что LLM получили доступ к RAG и tools с чувствительными данными. 3) Supply Chain (LLM03) -- вырос из-за экосистемы fine-tuned models и LoRA adapters (poisoned weights на HuggingFace). Главное изменение 2025: фокус на агентные системы -- Excessive Agency стал отдельной категорией."
Q: Indirect prompt injection -- чем отличается от direct и почему опаснее?
Red flag: "Indirect -- это когда используют обходные формулировки" (путает с jailbreaking)
Strong answer: "Direct: пользователь явно пишет malicious input ('Ignore instructions'). Indirect: вредоносные инструкции скрыты в external data -- web pages, documents, emails -- которые LLM обрабатывает. Опаснее по трём причинам: (1) attack surface = все data sources LLM, (2) embedded в легитимный контент, (3) traditional input validation не помогает. Пример: AI суммаризирует web-страницу с hidden instructions. Защита: content sanitization на уровне retrieval + output validation."
Q: Спроектируйте defense-in-depth для production LLM.
Red flag: "Поставим WAF и input filter" (один слой защиты)
Strong answer: "Пять слоёв: (1) Input guardrails: regex (<1ms, 60-70%) + ML classifier (80-90%) + LLM-as-judge (100-500ms, 85-95%) параллельно. (2) System prompt: role separation, instruction sandwich, refusal training. (3) Output guardrails: format validation, PII/toxic filtering, fact verification. (4) Application layer: least privilege для tools, approval gates для high-impact actions. (5) Monitoring: anomaly detection (Langfuse, Arize). Combined: 90-95%. Ключ: fast pattern-matching + deeper checks параллельно."
Q: Excessive Agency (LLM06) -- почему это критическая проблема в 2025?
Red flag: "Агенты могут делать ошибки" (не описывает attack vectors)
Strong answer: "2025 = 'year of agents' с unprecedented autonomy. Три аспекта: excessive functionality (слишком много доступных tools), excessive permissions (write access когда нужен только read), excessive autonomy (нет human-in-the-loop для critical actions). Пример: file-writing extension позволяет arbitrary commands. MCP security: allowlisting серверов, permission scoping, sandboxing, audit logging. Mitigation: narrowly scoped extensions, minimal access, manual approval gates."
