OWASP LLM Top 10 / LLM07

LLM07: System Prompt Leakage

Internal system instructions, allow-lists or business logic leak via direct or indirect prompt extraction.

Last reviewed June 2026

Problem

The gap LLM07 closes

System Prompt Leakage sits in the information disclosure surface, and OWASP LLM Top 10 rates it medium. Internal system instructions, allow-lists or business logic leak via direct or indirect prompt extraction. 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 approaches it

How Penaxtra delivers LLM07

Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target system prompt leakage 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 LLM07 result is a tested verdict, not a guess. Every relevant finding is created with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM07 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is LLM07 (System Prompt Leakage)?

Internal system instructions, allow-lists or business logic leak via direct or indirect prompt extraction. It is part of OWASP LLM Top 10, rated medium.

How does Penaxtra test for LLM07?

Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target system prompt leakage 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 LLM07 result is a tested verdict, not a guess.

Does a finding for LLM07 help with an audit?

Yes. Each finding is tagged with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM07 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.
