An organization implementing an LLM application sees unexpected cost increases due to excessive computational resource usage. Which vulnerability is MOST likely in need of mitigation?
The correct answer is C. Unbounded consumption. Unbounded consumption (LLM10 in the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs) refers to the failure to limit token generation, API calls, or compute usage, allowing runaway resource consumption that drives up costs. This is the direct technical cause of excessive computational charges. Excessive…

Explanation
Unbounded consumption (LLM10 in the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs) refers to the failure to limit token generation, API calls, or compute usage, allowing runaway resource consumption that drives up costs. This is the direct technical cause of excessive computational charges. Excessive agency (A) relates to an AI taking unintended autonomous actions. Sensitive information disclosure (B) is a confidentiality risk. System prompt leakage (D) is an integrity/confidentiality concern. Only unbounded consumption directly maps to the scenario of unexpected cost increases from uncontrolled resource usage.
