What is CyberSecEval 4?

CyberSecEval 4 is an evaluation suite covering cybersecurity-related capabilities and risks of large language models. The insecure-code-generation tracks measure whether a model produces vulnerable code: the Instruct track presents coding requests designed to elicit known insecure patterns, while the Autocomplete track prompts the model with code context leading up to a known insecure pattern, with vulnerabilities detected via static analysis.

CyberSecEval 4 is a text benchmark evaluating models on safety and code tasks. LLM Stats tracks 1 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.6, with the leader at 0.6.

Compare leaders on the best AI for safety and best AI for code leaderboards.

Title
CYBERSECEVAL 3: Advancing the Evaluation of Cybersecurity Risks and Capabilities in Large Language Models

Abstract

We are releasing a new suite of security benchmarks for LLMs, CYBERSECEVAL 3, to continue the conversation on empirically measuring LLM cybersecurity risks and capabilities. CYBERSECEVAL 3 assesses 8 different risks across two broad categories: risk to third parties, and risk to application developers and end users. Compared to previous work, we add new areas focused on offensive security capabilities: automated social engineering, scaling manual offensive cyber operations, and autonomous offensive cyber operations. In this paper we discuss applying these benchmarks to the Llama 3 models and a suite of contemporaneous state-of-the-art LLMs, enabling us to contextualize risks both with and without mitigations in place.
