Issue Details
Model Denial of Service
llm04-2024 • Rank #4 in OWASP 2025
Explanation
Model denial of service targets token budgets, inference throughput, and context limits through adversarially expensive prompts or request floods. Attackers can increase latency, exhaust quotas, and degrade availability for legitimate users. In multi-tenant systems, uncontrolled workloads can create severe cross-tenant reliability impact.
Remedy
Enforce token, request, and concurrency limits per identity and tenant. Apply adaptive throttling, queueing, and workload prioritization for critical operations. Monitor cost and latency outliers continuously and trigger automated safeguards when abuse signatures are detected.
