Developer publishes 14-item LLM app security checklist based on OWASP 2026

On November 3, 2026, a piece titled "Based on OWASP 2026: 14-item self-check list for LLM application security" appeared in the AI section of DEV Community. The author explains that the article grew out of personal notes taken while reading the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026. The stated motivation was to learn how to build secure LLM-powered applications, and that series of articles was the author's main reference throughout the learning process.

According to the material, the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026 is a collection of 10 articles that discuss 10 different security issues related to LLM-powered applications. Each article covers one issue and presents a list of strategies to help prevent it, together with a solid list of references, which the author describes as a helpful resource.

Drawing on those readings, the author turned the notes into a 14-item security checklist covering the points developers need to confirm one by one when building an LLM application, and grouped the items into 4 sections. The article has been published publicly, so others can reuse the checklist directly or extend it with their own additions. The remainder of the original text is not available in the material provided.
