LLM10:2025 – Unbounded Consumption in LLM Applications: Business Risk, ROI, and Strategic Mitigation

Unlike traditional software vulnerabilities that might involve code injection or data leakage, Unbounded Consumption exploits the operational behaviour of the model itself—by coercing it into performing an excessive number of inferences.
