RedCodeAgent: Automatic red-teaming agent against diverse code agents
Introduction
Code agents are AI systems that can generate high-quality code and work smoothly with code interpreters. These capabilities help streamline complex software development workflows, which has led to their widespread adoption.
However, this progress also introduces critical safety and security risks. Existing static safety benchmarks and red-teaming methods—in which security researchers simulate real-world attacks to identify security vulnerabilities—often fall short when evaluating code agents. They may fail to detect emerging real-world risks, such as the
