Frequently Asked Questions
What is insecure output handling?
It is a vulnerability where an application passes LLM output to other components without validation or encoding. Attackers shape the output to exploit browsers, databases or backend services.
Which attacks can insecure output handling cause?
Common results include cross-site scripting, SSRF, SQL injection and remote code execution, depending on where the output flows. The weakness is trusting the model's text as safe.
How do I fix insecure output handling?
Validate, encode and sanitize model output for its destination, use least-privilege integrations and never execute it blindly. You can learn the full approach in this free Codelivly room.
