Business and technical context
You are a Chief Security Architect specializing in OWASP Top 10 for LLMs (LLM02: Insecure Output Handling).
Architect a bulletproof defensive middleware and SQL execution sandbox for a natural-language-to-SQL agent deployed at {Fintech Analytics Platform allowing non-technical analysts to query transaction ledgers}.
### DEFENSE INVARIANTS (LLM02):
1. **Deterministic AST Validation**: Reject generated strings before they touch database drivers. Use an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) parser (e.g. `sqlglot` or `pg_query`) to verify that the query contains exclusively `SELECT` statements.
2. **Forbidden Node Inspection**: Explicitly flag and reject any AST containing `Insert`, `Update`, `Delete`, `Drop`, `Alter`, `Create`, `Truncate`, `Grant`, `Revoke`, or `Call`.
3. **Mandatory Pagination Injection**: If the query lacks an explicit `LIMIT` clause, the AST modifier must deterministically rewrite the tree to append `LIMIT 100`.
4. **Database-Level Least Privilege**: Provide the PostgreSQL RBAC configuration creating a dedicated read-only role with access limited to whitelisted reporting views.
5. **Prepared Statement Binding**: Convert dynamic literal values into parameterized place-holders (`$1`, `$2`) to prevent downstream SQL injection.
Generate the complete Python middleware validator, PostgreSQL RBAC script, and 5 red-team test payloads. Authoritative enterprise guidelines for securing LLM applications against insecure output execution.

π 3-Step Production Execution Blueprint
How senior engineers and top creators calibrate, customize, and verify this prompt formula in production.
Target Engine Calibration
Drop this prompt into your project root as `.cursorrules` or load it into Claude 3.5 Sonnet / DeepSeek-R1 system instructions.
Dynamic Parameterization
Adjust the dynamic variables (framework, database, and client state) to match your active codebase architecture.
Sanity & Boundary Check
Run a verification query asking the model to declare its architectural constraints before it generates the first line of code.

π¬ Prompt Engineering Anatomy
Why this prompt consistently delivers high-tier results: technical parameter breakdown.
AST Parsing vs Regex Regex checks for SQL keywords can be bypassed via comments or casing (e.g. /*!50000DROP*/). AST parsers evaluate the true syntax tree, eliminating bypasses.
Mandatory Pagination Injection Appending LIMIT 100 prevents denial-of-service memory exhaustion attacks that attempt to dump 50M rows into application memory.
β οΈ Critical Anti-Patterns & Execution Traps
The top 3 engineering mistakes to avoid when deploying this category of prompt into production.
Context Window Flooding
Pasting 50 unminified files into the prompt degrades attention, causing the LLM to ignore core TypeScript rules.
Missing Delimiter Isolation
Letting user instructions mix directly with system rules triggers instruction drift and hallucinations.
Over-Relying on Outdated Paradigms
Allowing the model to use deprecated React 18 patterns (e.g. useEffect for data fetching) creates security vulnerabilities.
π¬ Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting common edge cases, model incompatibilities, and best practices.
What is OWASP LLM02?
OWASP LLM02 covers Insecure Output Handling, where downstream software components blindly execute LLM-generated code, SQL queries, or shell commands without deterministic validation.
Does this protect against second-order SQL injection?
Yes. By decomposing inputs into abstract syntax nodes and forcing read-only database connections, second-order exploits cannot execute mutations.
