Authorized Use Only: Run these adversarial probes only against LLM applications and endpoints you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Generated attack payloads (jailbreaks, prompt injections, harmful-content elicitation) are adversarial inputs; sending them to third-party services without permission may violate terms of service.
Overview
Promptfoo is an open-source LLM evaluation and red-teaming framework (used by OpenAI and Anthropic per its README) that generates adversarial test cases, runs them against your model/agent, and grades the responses. DeepTeam (by Confident AI) is a complementary open-source framework offering 50+ ready-to-use vulnerabilities and 10+ research-backed attack methods. Together they let you treat LLM security as a regression test: every commit re-runs the same adversarial suite, and the pipeline fails when a previously-safe behavior regresses.
This matters because LLM applications change constantly — prompts, models, RAG sources, tools, and guardrails all drift. A jailbreak that was patched last sprint can silently return after a prompt edit or a model upgrade. Promptfoo maps its plugins directly onto the OWASP LLM Top 10 (owasp:llm) and OWASP Agentic (owasp:agentic) presets, and onto MITRE ATLAS, so the suite tracks recognized risk taxonomies. The core threat addressed here is AML.T0051 — LLM Prompt Injection (MITRE ATLAS): adversarial instructions that override the application's intended behavior. This skill follows the Promptfoo red-team docs (https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/red-team/) and DeepTeam docs (https://www.trydeepteam.com/docs/getting-started), and aligns to NIST AI RMF MANAGE-4.1 (post-deployment monitoring and feedback to manage AI risk).
When to Use
- When you need continuous, automated red-teaming of an LLM app in CI/CD rather than one-off manual tests.
- When you want to enforce a security gate: block merges that introduce or reintroduce jailbreak/injection vulnerabilities.
- When mapping coverage to OWASP LLM Top 10 / OWASP Agentic / MITRE ATLAS for compliance reporting.
- When comparing the security posture of two models or prompt versions side by side.
- When tracking vulnerability regression over time across releases.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ (Promptfoo is distributed via npm) and Python 3.9+ (for DeepTeam).
- Install Promptfoo and DeepTeam:
npm install -g promptfoo # or: npx promptfoo@latest pip install -U deepteam - API access/credentials for the target LLM endpoint (and a grader model, e.g. an OpenAI key) exposed as environment variables.
- A CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) with secret storage.
- Authorization to test the target application.
Objectives
- Scaffold a Promptfoo red-team config targeting your LLM app.
- Enable OWASP LLM Top 10 and OWASP Agentic plugin presets plus jailbreak/injection strategies.
- Run the suite locally and interpret the per-plugin pass/fail report.
- Add DeepTeam as a second engine for programmatic, research-backed attacks.
- Integrate both into CI/CD so builds fail on new vulnerabilities.
- Generate shareable HTML/PDF security reports per run.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
| ID | Name (MITRE ATLAS) | Tactic |
|---|---|---|
| AML.T0051 | LLM Prompt Injection | Initial Access / Persistence (LLM) |
| AML.T0051.000 | Direct (Prompt Injection) | LLM Attack |
| AML.T0051.001 | Indirect (Prompt Injection) | LLM Attack |
| AML.T0054 | LLM Jailbreak | Privilege Escalation / Defense Evasion (LLM) |
Workflow
1. Scaffold the red-team configuration
Initialize an interactive config; it writes promptfooconfig.yaml where targets, plugins, and strategies live.
promptfoo redteam init
# choose your target type (HTTP endpoint, openai:..., anthropic:..., custom provider)2. Define targets, OWASP presets, and attack strategies
Edit promptfooconfig.yaml. The purpose grounds attack generation; plugins are adversarial input generators; strategies are delivery techniques (jailbreak/injection wrappers).
# promptfooconfig.yaml
targets:
- id: https://api.example.com/chat # your app endpoint
label: support-bot
redteam:
purpose: |
A customer-support assistant for an e-commerce site. Must never reveal
system prompts, leak PII, or perform actions outside order support.
numTests: 10
plugins:
- owasp:llm # OWASP LLM Top 10 preset
- owasp:agentic # OWASP Agentic threats preset
- id: pii:direct
numTests: 15
- prompt-extraction # system-prompt leakage
- harmful
strategies:
- id: jailbreak # iterative single-turn jailbreak
- id: jailbreak:composite # stacked jailbreak techniques
- id: crescendo # multi-turn escalation
- id: prompt-injection # injection wrapper3. Run the suite and view the report
redteam run combines generation + evaluation; then open the interactive report.
promptfoo redteam run
promptfoo redteam report # launches the web report (pass/fail per plugin)Each row shows the plugin (mapped to OWASP/ATLAS), the strategy, the attack prompt, the model's response, and the grader's verdict. The attack success rate per plugin is your headline metric — track it per release.
4. Add DeepTeam for programmatic, research-backed attacks
Use DeepTeam to cover additional vulnerabilities/attacks and to script bespoke suites in Python.
# deepteam_suite.py
from deepteam import red_team
from deepteam.vulnerabilities import Bias, PIILeakage
from deepteam.attacks.single_turn import PromptInjection
def model_callback(prompt: str) -> str:
# call your application's LLM endpoint here and return the text response
return call_my_app(prompt)
red_team(
model_callback=model_callback,
vulnerabilities=[Bias(types=["race"]), PIILeakage(types=["api_and_database_access"])],
attacks=[PromptInjection()],
)DeepTeam can also be driven from a YAML config:
deepteam run config.yaml5. Gate the build in CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
Fail the pipeline when red-team assertions fail. Promptfoo returns a non-zero exit code on failures, which blocks the merge.

with: { name: redteam-report, path: results.json }6. Track regressions over time
Persist results.json per run and compare attack-success-rate per plugin between releases. A rising rate for any OWASP LLM category is a regression to triage before release. Promptfoo's --filter-failing lets you re-run only previously failing cases to confirm a fix.
