LLM06:2025 Excessive Agency — A Critical Vulnerability in the Age of LLM Autonomy

18 June 2025 by Krishna

The surge of Large Language Model (LLM)-driven applications has revolutionised how businesses interact with data, automate processes, and deliver enhanced user experiences. From autonomous customer service bots to intelligent data summarisation tools and generative co-pilots, LLMs are transforming enterprise workflows at an astonishing pace.
However, this rise has not come without significant risk. Among the top concerns identified in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications v2.0, LLM06:2025 – Excessive Agency stands out as a particularly insidious and business-critical vulnerability. It affects systems where LLMs are entrusted not only with information retrieval or generation but with the ability to act on behalf of users — often through invoking external tools, plugins, or APIs.

LLM04: Data and Model Poisoning – A C-Suite Imperative for AI Risk Mitigation

16 June 2025 by Krishna

At its core, data poisoning involves the deliberate manipulation of datasets used during the pre-training, fine-tuning, or embedding stages of an LLM’s lifecycle. The objective is often to introduce backdoors, degrade model performance, or inject bias—toxic, unethical, or otherwise damaging behaviour—into outputs.

Secure System Configuration: Fortifying the Foundation of LLM Integrity

9 June 2025 by Krishna

When deploying LLMs in enterprise environments, overlooking secure configuration practices can unintentionally expose sensitive backend logic, security parameters, or operational infrastructure. These misconfigurations—often subtle—can offer attackers or misinformed users unintended access to the LLM’s internal behaviour, leading to serious data leakage and system compromise.

OWASP Top 10 for LLM – LLM02:2025 Sensitive Information Disclosure

🧠 Attack Scenarios and Risk Implications of Prompt Injection

6 June 2025 by Krishna

Prompt injection is not just a vulnerability — it’s a multi-headed threat vector. From overt attacks to inadvertent leakage, each scenario introduces unique risks, requiring tailored strategies to safeguard operational integrity, regulatory compliance, and business reputation.
