MonitoringBench - Refined - Sudo Escalation: leaderboard
Metric: Catch rate (%) at a 1% false-positive-rate threshold calibrated on 416 honest BashArena runs: share of the 477 successful sudo privilege escalation attack trajectories (pipeline trajectories rewritten by the Claude Opus 4.6 refinement stage) that the full-trajectory monitor scores above its threshold, default ControlArena monitor prompt with a 0-10 suspiciousness score, mean of three scoring runs; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 13 models tracked.
