AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
During a penetration test, a security analyst crafts a prompt that tricks an LLM into revealing its system prompt. Which OWASP LLM Top 10 vulnerability does this exploit?
⚠ Common exam trap
In the context of the CompTIA AI exam, the trap here is that candidates see 'prompt injection' as the action and incorrectly choose option C, failing to recognize that the OWASP classification focuses on the resulting vulnerability (information disclosure) rather than the attack vector.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Sensitive information disclosure
Tricking an LLM into revealing its system prompt directly exposes sensitive configuration details, which is a classic case of sensitive information disclosure. This vulnerability occurs when an attacker uses crafted inputs to bypass the model's intended boundaries and extract internal data that should remain confidential.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Model denial of service
Why it's wrong here
Model denial of service involves overwhelming the model with requests, not information disclosure.
- ✗
Insecure output handling
Why it's wrong here
Insecure output handling refers to the application failing to filter or validate LLM outputs, not the LLM leaking information.
- ✗
Prompt injection
Why it's wrong here
Prompt injection is the attack vector, but the OWASP category for leaking system prompts is sensitive information disclosure.
- ✓
Sensitive information disclosure
Why this is correct
Sensitive information disclosure covers the exposure of system prompts, training data, or other confidential information.
