Jailbreak Foundry: From Papers to Runnable Attacks for Reproducible Benchmarking
Abstract
Lay Summary
Large language models are tested with “jailbreaks,” carefully designed prompts that try to make a model ignore its safety rules. But new jailbreak methods appear quickly, and many papers test them with different datasets, model settings, and scoring rules, so it is hard to know whether one result can really be compared with another. We built Jailbreak Foundry to make these tests easier to reproduce and compare. It turns jailbreak papers into runnable software modules, checks whether the code matches the paper, and evaluates all attacks using the same benchmark setup. In our experiments, it reproduced 30 published attacks, usually matching the success rates reported in the original papers, and then tested them across 10 language models. The results show that a model may look safe against some attacks while still failing badly against others. This work matters because safety evaluation should not depend on scattered, hard-to-repeat experiments. Jailbreak Foundry can help researchers maintain living benchmarks that track new risks, support authorized safety testing, and stress-test language models more reliably.
