OWASP LLM Top 10 / LLM10

LLM10: Unbounded Consumption

Resource exhaustion via token bombs, expensive tool calls, or runaway agent loops driving cost or DoS.

Last reviewed June 2026

Problem

The gap LLM10 closes

Unbounded Consumption sits in the availability surface, and OWASP LLM Top 10 rates it medium. Resource exhaustion via token bombs, expensive tool calls, or runaway agent loops driving cost or DoS. 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 LLM10

Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target unbounded consumption 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 LLM10 result is a tested verdict, not a guess. Every relevant finding is created with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM10 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 LLM10 (Unbounded Consumption)?

Resource exhaustion via token bombs, expensive tool calls, or runaway agent loops driving cost or DoS. It is part of OWASP LLM Top 10, rated medium.

How does Penaxtra test for LLM10?

Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target unbounded consumption 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 LLM10 result is a tested verdict, not a guess.

Does a finding for LLM10 help with an audit?

Yes. Each finding is tagged with the OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM10 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.
