OWASP's Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026 renumbered the list; only LLM01
and LLM02 kept their meaning. Every finding's `owasp` was written against
2025 with no year, so EchoLeak findings said LLM05, which in 2026 means
Data and Model Poisoning. Row 2 of the 2026 done-criterion counted 95
such sites at 6702d7a (82 old meaning, 13 wrong); it is now 0.
- Producers name the risk, never the number: one table (`_owasp.py`)
owns `LLMnn:2026`. The vendored lexicon stays byte-equal with commons
and gets its year where the finding is made; a commons number whose
meaning moved between editions raises instead of being guessed.
- Mechanical map from the 2025 meaning (verified against the publisher
in session 1): LLM05 -> LLM10:2026, LLM06 -> LLM03:2026,
LLM10 -> LLM06:2026, LLM08 -> LLM09:2026, LLM04 -> LLM05:2026.
The 13 wrong-meaning sites, judged:
- Factual poisoning (PoisonedRAG gap, and the test that follows it):
LLM05:2026. The 2026 text names "RAG Knowledge Base Poisoning" as its
example 6. It said LLM09, which was Misinformation.
- Fail-secure (README row, matrix row): no number. It is the guard's own
failure semantics; no edition describes it. Was LLM10.
- Parser-surface refusals (nested mapping, block scalar, quoted flow
element, off-allowlist key): no number. Refusing a shape the parser
would have to interpret is not resource consumption. Was LLM10. The
anchor and merge-key rows stay LLM06:2026 (alias expansion is DoS).
- `resource` URL and cross-link scheme validation (4): no number. They
validate received bundle metadata; LLM10:2026 is about model output
and says input validation belongs to LLM01. Was LLM05.
- `_raise_case` default (OKF path traversal, absolute path, reserved
name, non-.md, bundle escape): no number. None is prompt injection.
Was LLM01.
A doubtful number would be the misreading the year exists to prevent,
so `Case.owasp` is now Optional and the matrix prints "-".
Self-safety (input caps, ReDoS) keeps LLM06:2026: the 2026 text, read at
the publisher, covers "input flood ... exploiting processing
inefficiencies" and application-side rechunking. The README's LLM09
anchor (Misinformation) is dropped; it was the factual-poisoning row.
The permanent test (tests/test_catalog_numbers.py) fails on an old or
wrong number, on a number without the year outside the vendored
lexicon, and on any finding the coverage matrix drives whose `owasp`
lacks the newest year; "newest" is read from the catalog register. The
census holds its wrong-rules to their counts at the frozen revision
only, so the frozen listing (da1aa0fa...6f) is unchanged.

# The INPUT-path duty `8deca93` scoped: 0.3.2 fixed the output path's scanners,
|
|
# but the lexicon is the load-bearing input gate and its 83 patterns had never
|
|
# been measured. Two of them are quadratic, same shape as everything 0.3.2
|
|
# fixed -- a run followed by a REQUIRED literal, where the run may cross the
|
|
# pattern's own opening anchor. Crafted input repeats the anchor and never
|
|
# supplies the literal, so every start position rescans the tail.
|
|
#
|
|
# These are NOT input-path-only. `scan_lexicon` runs on the output path too, so
|
|
# 0.3.2's "the output path is bounded" was too broad: its gate test used `<a:`
|
|
# and the `[` unit was only ever run against `scan_active_content`, never
|
|
# against `scan_lexicon`. Measured through the public gate before the fix:
|
|
# `scan_output("[" * 16_000)` took 8.045s. The gate row in test_output.py
|
|
# closes that hole; these rows name the guilty pattern.
|
|
#
|
|
# Exponent measured over five points (1k..16k): 1.98 -- quadratic, not
|
|
# exponential. Extrapolated to the 1_000_000-char cap the gate accepts:
|
|
# `[` -> 8.29 HOURS (markdown:link-anchor-injection, anchor run)
|
|
# `[system](` -> 89 seconds (same pattern, the URL run -- a separate arm)
|
|
# `[//]: # (` -> 0.97 HOURS (markdown:link-ref-comment, the `.*` run)
|
|
#
|
|
# Both arms of link-anchor-injection get a row for the reason the output table
|
|
# already learned: a pattern is only safe once EVERY run in it is. The URL arm
|
|
# was missed by a sweep whose payloads were generic; it only appeared once the
|
|
# payloads were synthesised per-run from the pattern's own skeleton.
|
|
#
|
|
# Bound derivation (measurement, not taste -- same method as the output table):
|
|
# at N=100_000 the slowest LEGITIMATE content through `scan_lexicon` is 0.316s
|
|
# (prose 0.316 / html 0.315 / markdown 0.297 / connection-string doc 0.296).
|
|
# 2.0s is ~6.3x that.
|
|
#
|
|
# N is PER ROW, and that is the point. The URL arm is quadratic with a small
|
|
# constant: at N=100_000 it ran 0.9s UNFIXED, so a 2.0s bound there passes
|
|
# whether or not the pattern is fixed -- a row that cannot fail is not a test,
|
|
# it is decoration. Re-measured at N=300_000 it separates properly: 8.104s
|
|
# crafted against 0.926s for the slowest legitimate content of that size (prose
|
|
# 0.918 / markdown 0.926), so the 3.0s bound sits 3.2x over legitimate and 2.7x
|
|
# under crafted. The two 100_000 rows ran 297s and 55s unfixed -- far over.
|

#
|
|
# (id, repeating unit, N, bound). Each unit denies the literal its run needs: no
