The researcher reported that Kavach's coverage came from adapter canonicalization under a default-deny policy rather than benchmark-specific policy tuning, a distinction the researcher said matters for anyone evaluating similar guardrails. The researcher is seeking a cs.CR arXiv endorser for the first submission to arXiv.", "body_md": "Sharing my first research paper as an independent researcher — I evaluated Kavach, a policy-enforcement runtime for AI coding agents, against IssueTrojanBench’s real prompt-injection attack corpus (42 malicious tool-call actions from GitHub issue payloads).\n\nKey finding: coverage comes from adapter canonicalization under a default-deny policy, not from benchmark-specific policy tuning — a distinction that matters for anyone evaluating similar guardrails.\n\nFeedback welcome, and if anyone can point me to a cs.CR arXiv endorser, that’d help a lot — this is my first submission there.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench/182191#post_1", "published_at": "2026-09-30 05:30:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-30 05:48:38.535914+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety", "ai-agents", "ai-research", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Kavach", "KavachBench", "IssueTrojanBench", "GitHub", "arXiv"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/new-benchmark-evaluation-kavach-vs-real-prompt-injection-attacks-kavachbench.jsonld"}}
