Why it matters
Improper output handling is a leading OWASP LLM risk, and defenders building agentic and LLM-integrated applications need to enforce validation at the boundary where generated text becomes an executable action.
An explainer on OWASP LLM05:2025 Improper Output Handling describes how LLM output passed to downstream components (browsers, databases, shells, APIs) without validation can lead to XSS, SSRF, privilege escalation, unintended data changes, and remote code execution. The article advises treating every model response as untrusted input and applying deterministic, context-appropriate controls rather than relying on system prompts or safety policies.
