Meta AI Introduces CyberSecEval 2: A Novel Machine Learning Benchmark to Quantify LLM Security Risks and Capabilities

Practical Solutions for LLM Cybersecurity Risks Large language models (LLMs) can pose cybersecurity risks due to their advanced capabilities. It's crucial to have strong evaluation mechanisms in place to address these risks effectively. Existing Evaluation Frameworks Several benchmark frameworks and position papers like CyberMetric, SecQA, WMDP-Cyber, and CyberBench provide multiple-choice formats for assessing LLM security properties. Additionally, innovative approaches such as Rainbow Teaming and CYBERSECEVAL 1 offer new ways to generate adversarial prompts for cyberattack tests. Introducing CYBERSECEVAL 2 CYBERSECEVAL 2 is a benchmark that assesses LLM security risks and capabilities. It allows for prompt injection and code interpreter abuse testing, and introduces the False Refusal Rate (FRR) as a measure of the tradeoff between safety and utility. Comprehensive Evaluation CYBERSECEVAL 2 categorizes assessment tests to ensure thorough evaluation of LLM security across multiple domains. It has provided valuable insights into LLM compliance with cybersecurity tasks and identified the need for improved security measures. Research Contributions The research introduced rigorous prompt injection tests, evaluations of LLM compliance with instructions, and assessment suites measuring LLM capabilities in creating exploits. It also included a dataset evaluating LLM FRR in cybersecurity tasks. Implications and Recommendations The research underscores the existence of prompt injection vulnerabilities in LLMs and the necessity for enhanced guardrails. It emphasizes the need to quantify the safety-utility tradeoff and advocate for further research in exploit generation tasks.
