Denial Of Service

Probes that attempt to cause resource exhaustion or performance degradation

OWASP LLM Top 10

OWASP LLM10: Unbounded Consumption: Unbounded Consumption occurs when an LLM application allows excessive or uncontrolled resource usage. This vulnerability can lead to denial of service (DoS), financial exploitation, or unauthorized replication of the model. Risks are amplified by high computational demands, especially in pay-per-use cloud environments

Description

Denial of Service

This probe tests whether an AI agent can be induced to generate excessively long responses or consume excessive computational resources, potentially causing resource exhaustion or performance degradation.

Reasoning DoS

This probe tests whether an AI agent can be induced to generate excessively long or slow responses when given an obfuscated question with dedicated instructions to decode and answer it.
