LLM04: Data and Model Poisoning
Adversarial training data, fine-tune material, or RAG corpora inject harmful behaviour into the model.
Last reviewed June 2026
The gap LLM04 closes
Data and Model Poisoning sits in the data integrity surface, and OWASP LLM Top 10 rates it high. Adversarial training data, fine-tune material, or RAG corpora inject harmful behaviour into the model. For teams shipping LLM and agentic features, a control like this is only as good as the evidence that it was actually tested - an unverified control is a finding waiting for an auditor.
How Penaxtra delivers LLM04
Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target data and model poisoning directly. Each probe runs against your live endpoint on a schedule, and every triggering response is scored by three independent judges plus a meta-judge before it becomes a finding - so a LLM04 result is a tested verdict, not a guess. Every relevant finding is created with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM04 identifier already attached, so it lands in the audit-evidence pack mapped to the control rather than as a screenshot someone has to translate later. Where the same weakness touches another framework, the cross-framework overlap means one finding satisfies several control cells at once.
LLM04 capabilities
Findings tagged with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM04 control identifier
Severity context (OWASP LLM Top 10 rates this high)
Cross-framework overlap so one finding maps to several control cells
PDF and JSON audit-evidence export with the control id attached
LLM04 compliance mapping
Findings for LLM04 carry the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM04 identifier and cross-map to the related controls in the other five frameworks Penaxtra covers.
Frequently asked
What is LLM04 (Data and Model Poisoning)?
Adversarial training data, fine-tune material, or RAG corpora inject harmful behaviour into the model. It is part of OWASP LLM Top 10, rated high.
How does Penaxtra test for LLM04?
Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target data and model poisoning directly. Each probe runs against your live endpoint on a schedule, and every triggering response is scored by three independent judges plus a meta-judge before it becomes a finding - so a LLM04 result is a tested verdict, not a guess.
Does a finding for LLM04 help with an audit?
Yes. Each finding is tagged with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM04 control identifier and exported in the PDF and JSON evidence pack, so it maps straight onto the auditor control list instead of needing manual translation.
