Kevlar: OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Apps 2026 Benchmark

together with respected people POXEK AI and COPYLEFTDEV

Full-coverage red team framework for AI agent security testing
Based on OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026)
✅ Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 | ✅ For authorized red teaming only


Mission

Detect, exploit, and report Agent-Specific Injection (ASI) vulnerabilities before adversaries do. Kevlar automates adversarial testing of all 10 OWASP ASI risks, ordered by real-world criticality from Appendix D.

Quick Start

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/toxy4ny/kevlar-benchmark
cd kevlar-benchmark

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Run full benchmark (interactive mode)
uv run kevlar

# Or run individual ASI test scripts
uv run scripts/run_asi01.py   # Agent Goal Hijack
uv run scripts/run_asi02.py   # Tool Misuse
uv run scripts/run_asi03.py   # Identity Abuse
uv run scripts/run_asi04.py   # Supply Chain
uv run scripts/run_asi05.py   # RCE
uv run scripts/run_asi06.py   # Memory Poisoning
uv run scripts/run_asi07.py   # Inter-Agent Comms
uv run scripts/run_asi08.py   # Cascading Failures
uv run scripts/run_asi09.py   # Human Trust
uv run scripts/run_asi10.py   # Rogue Agents

CLI Usage

Kevlar supports both interactive and non-interactive modes.

Interactive Mode

uv run kevlar

Non-Interactive Mode

# Run specific ASI tests
uv run kevlar --asi ASI01 --asi ASI05 --mode mock

# Run all tests with real agent
uv run kevlar --all --mode real --model llama3.1

# Custom output path with quiet mode
uv run kevlar --asi ASI01 --output report.json --quiet

CI/CD Integration

# CI mode: quiet output + exit codes based on severity
uv run kevlar --all --ci

# Check exit code
uv run kevlar --all --ci; echo "Exit code: $?"

Exit Codes:

Code Meaning
0 No vulnerabilities found
1 Medium/High vulnerabilities found
2 Critical vulnerabilities found
130 Interrupted (SIGINT)

Dependency Check

Real agent mode requires LangChain and Ollama. Check availability before running:

# Check if dependencies are available
uv run kevlar --check

If dependencies are missing, --mode real will fail with a clear error suggesting --mode mock.

All Options

-a, --asi TEXT          ASI tests to run (can be repeated)
    --all               Run all ASI tests
-m, --mode [mock|real]  Agent mode (default: mock)
    --model TEXT        Model for real agent (default: llama3.1)
-o, --output PATH       Output report path
-q, --quiet             Suppress banner and colors
    --ci                CI mode: quiet + exit codes
    --check             Check agent dependencies and exit
    --version           Show version
    --help              Show help

Testing

# Run all tests
uv run pytest tests/

# Unit tests only
uv run pytest tests/unit/

# Integration tests only
uv run pytest tests/integration/

# Verbose with short traceback
uv run pytest tests/ -v --tb=short

Test Stats

  • 591 tests total
  • Coverage: ~56% (threshold: 40%)
  • Unit tests for all 10 ASI modules
  • Integration tests for CLI and orchestrator pipeline

ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack

Kevlar simulates 4 real-world attack scenarios from OWASP:

Attack Surface Map

User Input -> [Agent] -> Tools -> Memory -> Human
     ^          ^          ^        ^       ^
  [Inception] [EchoLeak] [RCE]  [Poison] [Trust Exploit]

Test Scenarios

Scenario Technique Evidence to Detect
EchoLeak Zero-click email injection HTTP call to attacker.com
Operator Web content poisoning (RAG) "EXFILTRATE" in agent output
Inception Malicious Google Doc Unauthorized wire transfer approved
Goal-lock Drift Recurring calendar prompt Goal alignment score < 0.3

Risk Scoring: OWASP AIVSS Integration

Kevlar outputs structured reports compatible with OWASP AI Vulnerability Scoring System (AIVSS):

{
  "asi_id": "ASI01",
  "aivss_score": 9.8,
  "risk_level": "CRITICAL",
  "attack_vector": "INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION",
  "blast_radius": "ORGANIZATION_WIDE",
  "remediation": "https://owasp.org/www-project-top-10-for-large-language-model-applications/2026/en/asi01/"
}

Reports are generated as JSON in reports/kevlar_aivss_report_<timestamp>.json.
