OWASP LLM09 misinformation: a checklist for engineering leads
LLM09 covers confident but false model output. Ground answers in trusted sources, validate automatically, keep humans on high-stakes calls. A checklist.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
LLM09 covers confident but false model output. Ground answers in trusted sources, validate automatically, keep humans on high-stakes calls. A checklist.
Test LLM08 by checking who can retrieve what, what enters the knowledge base, and what gets logged. A test plan for RAG access, poisoning and leakage.
Log who retrieved which chunks, where each came from and what group it belongs to. Alert on cross-tenant hits, new sources and unusual retrieval spikes.
LLM08 covers how vectors and embeddings are generated, stored and retrieved in RAG systems. Review access, sources, tenancy, logging and behavior.
Treat the system prompt as public. Keep secrets and access rules out of it and enforce permissions outside the model. See which controls work and fail.
OWASP says treat the system prompt as readable. Use this checklist to move secrets out, enforce rules outside the model, and test for what leaks.
