OWASP leaders warn prompt injection's low incident ranking hides its real danger
Prompt injection has topped the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications for three straight years, yet it appears only 12th when measured against 6,639 labeled real-world incidents. The discrepancy stems from the attack's invisibility to vulnerability scanners, not a lower threat level. The finding comes from Kyriakos Lambros and Steve Wilson, co-leaders of the OWASP project, in a paper posted on arXiv.
