The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) has compiled a list of the top 10 most critical vulnerabilities in large language model (LLM) applications, including prompt injections, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, model denial of service, supply chain vulnerabilities, sensitive information disclosure, insecure plugin design, excessive agency, overreliance, and model theft. These vulnerabilities pose risks such as data exfiltration, remote code execution, bias introduction, denial-of-service attacks, and sensitive information disclosure. Preventative measures involve enforcing privilege control, data sanitization, monitoring resource utilization, and implementing strong access controls to mitigate the security risks associated with deploying and managing LLMs
