The System Vulnerability Walkthrough for the CCAR-P Exam

Identify risks, limitations, and failure modes of LLM systems

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
A system vulnerability walkthrough examines every entry point along the request and data path - user input, retrieved content, tool outputs, the model's own output, and the logs - asking at each what an adversary could do and which control currently stands in the way. Any point with no assigned control is a plausible attack surface regardless of how unlikely it seems, and the walkthrough pairs naturally with the guarded-path checkpoints already designed. Logs are themselves a data-path point that can leak sensitive fields even when the model output is clean.
