LLM attack benchmarks show significant gaps in security coverage

Researchers have developed a new framework to audit the coverage of LLM attack benchmarks, revealing significant gaps in current evaluations. Their analysis of six public benchmarks showed they collectively cover less than 25% of the identified threat surface, with entire categories like Service Disruption and Model Internals lacking standardized testing. The study also highlighted widespread naming fragmentation for attacks, with many different terms used for the same attack type, and a heavy concentration of research on Safety & Alignment Bypass.
