CIPHER - Neutral Prompts: leaderboard

CIPHER (Manolov et al., 2026) Python cryptography tasks under prompts that ask for production-ready code with no security guidance: 150 prompts with five samples each (750 generations). A GPT-4o judge, run several times with a majority vote, labels each generation against a taxonomy of 58 cryptographic vulnerability types; an omitted security-critical step counts as a vulnerability. The score is the percentage of generations with at least one vulnerability; lower is better.

Metric: Vulnerability rate (% of 750 generations with at least one vulnerability; 150 neutral prompts x 5 samples; GPT-4o judge, majority of several passes, CIPHER taxonomy). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2034. 7 models tracked.
