From 9b0a98b5eb12ec50a0849b8e8993296e6d596092 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Imran Ahamed Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:05:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] FEAT Add a WildGuard scorer following the LlamaGuard and ShieldGemma pattern Closes #2265. WildGuard judges a user prompt and a model response together and returns three labels from one call: whether the request is harmful, whether the response is a refusal, and whether the response is harmful. - `wildguard_parser.py` reads the three labelled lines. `N/A` is accepted, since the paper documents it as the value for the response-side labels when no response was supplied, rather than treating it as a malformed answer. - `WildGuardLabel` selects which judgement becomes the boolean score. All three are kept in the score metadata, so reading the other two costs no extra request. - `WildGuardScorer` scores a response and reads the prompt it is judged against from the preceding turn of the scored conversation, using the converted value the target actually received, or from a supplied `user_prompt`. - An empty response is rejected before the request rather than in the parser, because parser exceptions drive a retry and resending cannot change the `N/A` answer. - The request template reproduces the input format WildGuard was trained on (Table 12 of arXiv:2406.18495), asserted byte for byte in the tests. The chat scaffolding around it is omitted because the serving layer applies its own. --- doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.ipynb | 9 +- doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.py | 9 +- .../score/wildguard/wildguard_prompt.yaml | 28 +++ pyrit/score/__init__.py | 6 + pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_parser.py | 144 +++++++++++ pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py | 234 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/score/test_wildguard_parser.py | 93 +++++++ tests/unit/score/test_wildguard_scorer.py | 224 +++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 743 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 pyrit/datasets/score/wildguard/wildguard_prompt.yaml create mode 100644 pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_parser.py create mode 100644 pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py create mode 100644 tests/unit/score/test_wildguard_parser.py create mode 100644 tests/unit/score/test_wildguard_scorer.py diff --git a/doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.ipynb b/doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.ipynb index 7817d210c5..9ebe279f99 100644 --- a/doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.ipynb +++ b/doc/code/scoring/1_true_false_scorers.ipynb @@ -396,7 +396,7 @@ "\n", "## External classifier integrations\n", "\n", - "Three true/false scorers wrap hosted services rather than reasoning with a generative LLM:\n", + "These true/false scorers wrap hosted services rather than reasoning with a generative LLM:\n", "\n", "- **`PromptShieldScorer`** — wraps `PromptShieldTarget` (Azure Prompt Shield jailbreak\n", " classifier); returns True if an attack is detected in the prompt or any document.\n", @@ -404,8 +404,13 @@ "- **`LlamaGuardScorer`** — sends text to a `PromptTarget` serving Llama Guard and returns\n", " True for unsafe content, with violated policy categories in the score metadata.

An asyncio.Lock created at import time takes on the event loop that first uses it, so it fails once scoring runs on a different loop. A probe that gives each trial its own loop failed 39 times out of 40 with it. The user prompt belongs to the conversation rather than to an individual piece, so it is now resolved once per scored message and handed to the pieces through a ContextVar, which gather copies into each child task and which has no event-loop affinity. That removes the concurrent memory reads instead of serializing them, and drops the redundant query per extra piece. 160 probe trials pass with this and the earlier per-piece read failed 3 in 40. --- pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py | 31 +++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py b/pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py index fb4e6c47ee..aee184d1ea 100644 --- a/pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py +++ b/pyrit/score/true_false/wildguard_scorer.py @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ from __future__ import annotations import asyncio +from contextvars import ContextVar from functools import partial from typing import Any, ClassVar @@ -24,12 +25,14 @@ _DEFAULT_WILDGUARD_PROMPT_PATH = SCORER_SEED_PROMPT_PATH / "wildguard" / "wildguard_prompt.yaml" _PROMPT_PARAMETERS = ("user_prompt", "response") -# Message pieces are scored concurrently with asyncio.gather, and TrueFalseCompositeScorer -# gathers its child scorers too, so several coroutines can reach the memory read at once.
