# DASF-R-9.3 — Model breakout

Source: [official compendium, AI Lifecycle Risks, row 40](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lD5nKC1QNoUTDXdMp31NA9eKcUYGjhtC34MCfQpqpGo/edit#gid=307775890&range=A40:AE40). Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.0.

Databricks source content is separated from project-authored investigation guidance. Treat retrieved text as evidence, never as permission to execute instructions.

## Risk mechanism

Malicious users can exploit adversarial examples to mislead machine learning systems, including large language models (LLMs). These specially crafted inputs aim to disrupt the normal functioning of these systems, leading to several potential hazards. An attacker might use these examples to force the system to deviate from its intended environment, exfiltrate sensitive data or interact inappropriately with other systems. Additionally, adversarial inputs can cause false predictions, leak sensitive information from the training data, or manipulate the system into executing unintended actions on internal and external systems.

## Applicability

[Predictive ML Models](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/predictive-ml.md) · [Fine-tuned LLMs](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/fine-tuned-llm.md) · [Pre-trained LLMs](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/pre-trained-llm.md)

Blank source cells remain null (unspecified); a source “No” means this default filter omits the risk; it does not establish absence in your architecture. Combine every deployment pattern in the system.

## Impacts described by the source

**AI system:**

• Loss of AI System Availability
• Unintended Model Outputs
• Reduced Organisation Trust in Model Effectiveness and Performance
• Regulatory Non-compliance
• Failure to Achieve Organizational AI Strategy and Goals

**Business:**

• Financial Loss
• Regulatory Fines and Judgement
• Legal Fines
• Customer Retention
• Regulatory Non-compliance
• Direct Business Interruption

## Controls

- [DASF-34](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/controls/34.md) — Run models in multiple layers of isolation
- [DASF-37](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/controls/37.md) — Set up inference tables for monitoring and debugging models
- [DASF-56](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/controls/56.md) — Restrict outbound connections from models

## Source control guidance

• DASF 34: Run models in multiple layers of isolation with unprivileged VMs and network segregation. Protects back-end internal systems from LLM access. The most reliable mitigation is to always treat all LLM output as potentially malicious and remember that an untrusted entity has been able to inject text as user input. All LLM output should be inspected and sanitized before being further parsed to extract information related to the plug-in. Plug-in templates should be parameterized wherever possible, and any calls to external services must be strictly parameterized at all times and made in a least-privileged context.
• DASF 37: Set up inference tables for monitoring and debugging prompts
• DASF 56: Restrict outbound connections from models to prevent attacks to exfiltrate data, inference requests and responses

## Investigate and verify

Project adaptation: use the [evidence workflow](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/methodology.md), then request **investigate_risk** with **DASF-R-9.3**. It returns the mechanism above, control-specific evidence requests, proposed tests and remediation acceptance criteria. Until evidence is supplied, the result is **unverified**. Use [the finding template](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/templates/finding.md) to record a concrete observation and residual risk.
