Autonomous Process Entering an Infinite Loop
自主流程陷入無限迴圈
Operation & Monitoring
Risk Description
When an organization deploys an autonomous process for routine tasks; due to unmitigated control gaps, on encountering an unsolvable input, it begins retrying repeatedly, running through an entire weekend, exhausting the monthly quota and generating substantial costs, with no anomaly alert to prompt intervention, triggering compliance exposure and operational reputational costs.

Risk Treatment & Implementation Guidance
Cap autonomous runs by steps, time and cost, halting and notifying at the limit; Detect loops identifying repeated futile retries; Design failure paths for unsolvable inputs—skip or escalate to humans—instead of infinite retrying
