AI
AI security encompasses both protecting AI systems from attack and understanding the new vulnerability classes that AI introduces into applications. As organizations rapidly integrate large language models (LLMs), machine learning pipelines, and AI-powered features into their products, the attack surface has expanded in ways that traditional application security frameworks don't fully address.
Key threats to AI systems include prompt injection — where attackers manipulate LLM behavior through crafted inputs — data poisoning of training datasets, model extraction through repeated API queries, and adversarial examples that cause misclassification. Indirect prompt injection, where malicious instructions are embedded in data the AI processes (emails, documents, web pages), is emerging as one of the most significant security challenges for AI-integrated applications.
AI also introduces new categories of application risk: insecure output handling where LLM responses are rendered unsafely, excessive agency when AI agents are given too much access, sensitive information disclosure through training data leakage, and supply chain risks from fine-tuned models and third-party plugins. The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications provides a structured framework for understanding these risks.
On the defensive side, AI is being used to enhance security operations — automating vulnerability detection, analyzing malicious patterns, and accelerating incident response.
This page collects AI security research, LLM vulnerability techniques, defensive strategies, and resources covering the intersection of artificial intelligence and application security.
The security problem with LLM applications is that instructions and data share a channel
Nearly every novel vulnerability class in this category reduces to one property: a language model receives instructions and untrusted content in the same token stream, with no structural boundary between them. That is not a bug in a particular product, and it is not currently fixed by a patch. It is how the technology works, and it is why prompt injection has no equivalent of the parameterized query.
Direct prompt injection — a user telling the model to disregard its instructions — is the demonstration case and the least interesting one, since the user is only attacking their own session. The consequential form is indirect: the model ingests a web page, a document, an email, a code comment or a tool result that contains instructions, and acts on them. Now the attacker is whoever controlled that content, and the victim is the user whose session the model is running in.
Severity is determined by capability, which is why agents changed the calculus. A model that only produces text has limited blast radius. A model that can call tools, read a filesystem, query internal systems, send requests or execute code turns injected instructions into actions, and the classic confused-deputy problem reappears with a natural-language interface. The combination to watch for is the one that keeps producing real incidents: access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and an ability to communicate outward. Any two are usually survivable; all three are an exfiltration path.
The rest of the surface is more familiar than the discourse suggests. Retrieval pipelines are an injection point if anyone can write to the corpus. Model and dependency supply chain is the same problem as any other package ecosystem, with the added detail that some model formats execute code on load. Output handling is ordinary injection — a model's response rendered as HTML or passed to a shell is XSS or command injection regardless of where the string came from.
The material here moves quickly. Prefer entries that describe a mechanism over ones that benchmark a specific model version.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is prompt injection?
- Prompt injection is an attack against applications that use large language models (LLMs). An attacker crafts input that overrides or manipulates the LLM's system instructions, causing it to perform unintended actions. Direct prompt injection targets the user input; indirect prompt injection embeds malicious instructions in data the LLM processes, such as emails or web pages.
- What is the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications?
- The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications identifies the most critical security risks for AI-powered applications, including prompt injection, 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.
- How do you secure AI-integrated applications?
- Key practices include validating and sanitizing LLM outputs before rendering or executing them, implementing least-privilege access for AI agents, using guardrails to constrain model behavior, monitoring for prompt injection attempts, applying rate limiting, separating AI processing from privileged operations, and treating all LLM output as untrusted user input.
