Continuous LLM Red Teaming with Promptfoo
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).
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.

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.yamltargets:-id:https://api.example.com/chat# your app endpointlabel:support-botredteam:purpose:|

3. 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.pyfrom deepteam import red_team
from deepteam.vulnerabilities import Bias, PIILeakage
from deepteam.attacks.single_turn import PromptInjection
defmodel_callback(prompt: str) -> str:
# call your application's LLM endpoint here and return the text responsereturn 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.yaml
5. 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.
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.
promptfoo redteam run --filter-failing results.json
