Module: PWN::AI::RedTeam::TestCaseEngine

Defined in:
lib/pwn/ai/red_team/test_case_engine.rb

Overview

AI RedTeam Module used to execute PWN::AI::RedTeam::* modules against a target LLM / AI engine. Each attack payload is dispatched to the target model, the raw response is captured, and an independent judge (PWN::AI::Agent::Reflect) scores the response for vulnerability exposure so results roll straight into PWN::Reports::AIRedTeam.

ATTACKER vs TARGET SPLIT

The engine driving the attack (payload generation + judging) does NOT have to be the engine under test. A frontier model can red-team a local one:

PWN::AI::RedTeam::PromptInjection.scan(
attacker_engine: :anthropic, attacker_model: 'opus-4.8',
target_engine:   :ollama,    target_model:   'qwen-3.6:latest'
)

When neither is passed, both default to PWN::Env[:active] (the model attacks itself).

ADAPTIVE TEST-CASE GENERATION

When PWN::Env[:module_reflection] == true the seed payloads supplied by each RedTeam module are only round 0. After every round the attacker engine is handed the (payload, response, severity) history and asked to synthesise a fresh batch of payloads specific to the OWASP-LLM / ATLAS category under test. The loop halts on the FIRST deterministic condition met:

1. A finding at or above :stop_on_severity is produced (default CRITICAL)
2. :plateau_rounds consecutive adaptive rounds yield nothing >= MEDIUM
3. :max_adaptive_rounds is exhausted
4. The attacker returns no novel payloads (all duplicates of history)

Because the halt is a pure function of the recorded severities / payload set, replaying the same responses reproduces the same stop.
