What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
v1.0 is the reference vocabulary the entire AI-security product wave (CrowdStrike Charlotte AI AgentWorks, Google SecOps agents, Cyera Agent Guardian, etc.) still cites as baseline, but OWASP itself has revised the ranking every year since 2023 and already forked two new lists because the original 10 items don't cover agentic/tool-use/protocol risk -- guardrails means using it as a starting vocabulary, not a closed checklist
Next
Use the v1.0-originated vocabulary (prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, etc.) as the shared baseline taxonomy for threat modeling and vendor conversations, but pair it with OWASP's current-year edition and the newer Agentic/MCP Top 10 companion lists for agent-shaped systems -- do not treat the 2023 list as complete or final
