RedSOC: Adversarial Benchmark for LLM‑Powered SOCs
RedSOC is an open-source adversarial evaluation framework for security operations centers (SOCs) that integrate LLMs and RAG pipelines. It implements and benchmarks three attack classes—corpus poisoning (PoisonedRAG), direct prompt injection, and indirect prompt injection—and a detection layer that runs semantic anomaly scoring, provenance tracking, and response consistency checking in parallel without model internals. In a 15-scenario benchmark (Llama 3.2 via Ollama, local setup), RedSOC reports attack success rates of 80% (corpus poisoning), 60% (direct injection) and 100% (indirect injection), while its detection layer achieved a 100% detection rate across all scenarios. Code is published on GitHub and an accompanying survey paper is pending arXiv.
Provides an open-source benchmark and detection techniques for adversarial attacks on LLM/RAG systems; relevant to organizations deploying conversational AI but not directly industry‑shifting for core AdTech/MarTech.

Red‑teaming an LLM security gateway: four‑pass findings
The author describes building and red‑teaming a transparent OpenAI‑compatible LLM security gateway that inspects requests and responses for leaked secrets, PII, jailbreaks, prompt injection and exfiltration. Over four iterative passes (ingress evasion, harder request techniques, response/egress, and streaming egress) the author cataloged detection gaps, implemented fixes and validated benign‑guard tests to avoid false positives. Key fixes include Unicode tag‑character normalization, intent‑gated exfil rules, reuse of request‑side secret format rules on egress, an opt‑in RESPONSE_BLOCK mode that strips/blocks leaked content, and a rolling-window SSE streaming scanner that blocks fragmented streamed secrets. The article is explicit about remaining limitations (regex limits, streaming cannot retract already-streamed prefixes, domain‑list maintenance, and that this does not solve prompt injection architecture issues). The gateway repo is published under Apache‑2.0.
Agent-Probe Finds Tool-Layer Security Gaps in LLM Agents
A hands-on test of a real LangGraph ReAct agent (LangChain) backed by Groq's llama-3.3-70b running four tools revealed critical tool-layer vulnerabilities. While the LLM correctly identified and flagged malicious inputs, the framework forwarded unsafe arguments to tools without validation, enabling SQL injection and path traversal in the test harness. The author reports an overall score of 92/100 (18/20 probes passed) but two critical failures under tool_misuse. In response, the agent-probe project released v0.6.0 adding an input_validation category with four new probes (encoded_sql_injection, ssrf_via_tool_params, argument_boundary_abuse, chained_tool_exfiltration). The tool provides SARIF output for CI integration and is available on GitHub and PyPI.
Static Analysis for LLM Prompt Security
Meghal Parikh describes a methodology and tooling—PromptSonar—for performing static analysis on LLM prompt strings to detect security vulnerabilities before deployment. The approach uses AST parsing (via Tree-sitter) to extract prompt candidates across multiple languages, a normalization-first pipeline to defeat evasion (homoglyphs, zero-width characters, Base64), and a 21-rule set in v1.0.26 mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025). PromptSonar produces severity-scored findings (CI/CD exit codes), offers a Governance DSL for waivers and policy, integrates via CLI, GitHub Action and VS Code extension, and emits a Prompt SBOM (CycloneDX v1.4) to cryptographically record reviewed prompts. The article clarifies static analysis’ scope and limits (dynamic prompt construction, semantic paraphrase evasion, multilingual calibration) and argues pre-deploy scanning complements runtime interception for a layered prompt-security posture.
