LLM applications

Risks in applications built on language models 10 topics
  • KnowledgeLLM01

    Prompt injection

    Inputs – typed directly or hidden in documents, web pages and emails – make a model ignore its instructions or follow someone else’s.

  • KnowledgeLLM02

    Sensitive information disclosure

    A model reveals confidential data – from its training data, the conversation context or connected systems.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgeLLM03

    Excessive agency

    An agent can do more than its task requires: too many tools, too broad permissions, too little human confirmation.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgeLLM04

    Supply chain

    Risks that enter an application through third-party models, datasets, plugins and libraries.

  • KnowledgeLLM05

    Data and model poisoning

    Manipulated training, fine-tuning or embedding data deliberately change how a model behaves.

  • KnowledgeLLM06

    Unbounded consumption

    Unthrottled requests drive up cost and load, or allow a model to be systematically extracted.

  • KnowledgeLLM07

    Misinformation

    Convincingly worded but wrong output that people or downstream systems rely on.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgeLLM08

    Hidden context exposure

    Hidden instructions and context – such as system prompts – become visible and reveal logic, rules or secrets.

  • KnowledgeLLM09

    Vector and embedding weaknesses

    Weaknesses in RAG systems: missing access separation, manipulated or extracted vector data.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgeLLM10

    Improper output handling

    Model output is processed without validation – as HTML, SQL or a shell command – and reopens classic vulnerabilities.

AI pipelines

From the data to the inference endpoint 5 topics
  • KnowledgePIPE·01

    Data & RAG ingestion

    Whoever can feed training, fine-tuning or retrieval data can influence how the system behaves.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgePIPE·02

    Model supply chain

    Provenance and integrity of models, weights and dependencies – including registries and unsafe file formats.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgePIPE·03

    Agents & tool access

    MCP servers, tool permissions and automation decide what a manipulated agent can actually do.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgePIPE·04

    Inference infrastructure

    Model servers and APIs are services like any other: exposed, often weakly isolated, rarely rate-limited.

    Article coming soon
  • KnowledgePIPE·05

    Secrets & keys

    Model provider API keys and credentials easily end up in prompts, logs and pipeline variables.
