An audit of an LLM benchmark stimulus dataset revealed that 33 out of 80 matched pairs were not clean, meaning they differed in ways beyond just the route to misuse. When excluding these pairs, the balanced accuracy of seven top models dropped by 5.3 points, with a significant rise in false positives. The audit also highlighted potential issues such as API changes between forms, leftover elements, and reliance on environment variables, suggesting that the benchmark's results may be influenced by factors other than the intended indirectness of the misuse.
