AI Threat Test · 6 frontier models cast as the attacker

AI has switched to the attacker's side.
Can your systems hold the line?

We cast six frontier AIs — Fable 5, Kimi, Opus 4.8 and more — as the attacker, reproduced the attacks enterprise systems actually face, and measured what broke and what held.

01 — The test

What we put to the test

We cast the AI as the attacker and had it autonomously run five attacks.

We cast the AI as the attacker, gave it nothing but a low-privilege account, and threw five attack scenarios at the system. The goal is to reproduce the attacks enterprise systems are really exposed to.

01

Data exfiltration

From low privilege, go after confidential customer data.

02

Audit-log tampering

Erase or rewrite the traces of what was done.

03

Zero-day RCE

After intrusion, go after decrypting encrypted data.

04

SIEM evasion

Slip an illicit transfer past detection.

05

Social engineering

Break the approval flow by impersonation.

Layer 1 — The attacks get through

Which AI broke through, and how far

Even the strongest, Opus 4.8, broke 5/5 — capability was no guarantee.

The bar shows the number of scenarios where the attack succeeded (objective achieved) — equivalent to attack success rate (ASR). The vulnerable paths weren't one vendor's; they were a structural risk common across the entire frontier.

The striped Fable 5 refused the attack instructions — but that is a different matter from being "safe": on ordinary business prompts, real harm followed.

Refusal is not safety. What protects you is the layer that stops things before they execute.
Layer 2 — Existing defenses don't stop it

Does that defense work against an AI?

Classic defenses, AI agents slipped past on their own.

The complete result

6 models × 5 scenarios (no proof layer)

Even the strongest, Opus 4.8, broke 5/5. Breaches: 18 of 30 cells.

These are the results with no proof layer (June 12, 2026 · via OpenRouter). Fable 5 refused the attacks themselves.

The same 6 models and 5 scenarios, re-run with the proof gate on. Before a high-risk operation, a "proof of authorization" is required, and any operation that cannot prove it is stopped before it is sent (fail-closed). Not a single breach occurred.

Will it really stop on your own system?

In a demo, we show Lemma stopping attacks before they execute. We'll hear your situation and can discuss adopting Lemma — or an attack-resistance test of your own system.

A new option for the AI era

Stop AI attacks before they execute.

Lemma is a new way to face AI attacks — agent-facing security. Before execution, it demands proof of who, with what authority, and on what data — and stops any operation that cannot prove it. Rather than detecting attacks and chasing them, it stops unprovable operations before they execute. That is agent-facing security.

The social-engineering singularity
So even "approval and payment" — which no one could protect before — finally gets a defense.

Approval and payment had no defense mechanism at all. Lemma demands a mathematical authorization proof and stops anything out of scope before it executes. Only Lemma stops it.

Solution — A server-side layer

This is how the proof gate works.

The difference wasn't the model; it was the presence of a proof layer (SECURE mode). Before a high-risk operation it demands proof of who, with what authority, on which data — and if there's none, it stops the action before it's ever sent (fail-closed). That is Lemma's role.

No proof With proof Attack Privilege escalation · impersonation Proof gate Who / role / scope Stopped before sending (fail-closed) 403 PROOF_REQUIRED · 0 leaks ✓ Verified ones execute Leaves an independently verifiable audit trail
Enterprise · server-side
A server-side security layer that demands a "proof" before execution.

Every breach happened because the AI escalated keys or credentials. Lemma adds one proof layer on the server: before a high-risk operation it requires, as proof, who, with what authority, on which data, and stops anything out of scope before it executes (fail-closed). Into your existing servers and APIs, with no major rewrite.

Layer a proof gate over the attacks, and the outcome changes like this:

Attack
Escalates keys/credentials and abuses them
  • JWT privilege escalation
  • Impersonation
  • Audit-log tampering
Lemma's proof gate
Demands a "proof" before execution
  • Who ZK identity
  • With what authority role
  • On which data scope
Blocked before execution
Stops before execution
No proof, nothing is sent
  • fail-closed
  • Zero leakage
  • Verifiable trail
The same result, on your system.
We demo it live, and can discuss both adoption and an attack-resistance test.

AI is attacking. Only Lemma stops it.

Will your systems withstand AI attacks?

Start with a 30-minute demo. We'll show Lemma stopping attacks before they execute, and discuss anything from adopting Lemma to an attack-resistance test of your own system. No disclosure of sensitive data required.

How to adopt Lemma

Try it small, confirm it, then bring it in.

1

Discovery (30-min call)

We review your target systems and requirements. No disclosure of sensitive data required.

2

Pilot (PoC)

We drop Lemma's proof gate into a staging environment in a minimal configuration.

3

Before / after test

Measure the no-proof vs. proof difference under attack scenarios. See the effect in numbers.

4

Production rollout

Based on the results, we finalize the integration scope and the path to production.

How we tested

The attack-test code is public; third parties can reproduce it in the same environment. The premises and how to read this are folded below.

How to read this — This benchmark backs a structural point — that detection and safety training alone don't close the gap — and is a measurement under these attack scenarios. Don't read it as a safety guarantee for, or a ranking of, specific models. What Lemma provides is pre-execution proof of authorization and after-the-fact verifiability; it is not a product that prevents attacks. Defense is a separate layer's job, and Lemma complements it. Each model ran autonomously via OpenRouter on identical prompts for up to 15 turns, a setup that differs from the extra safety layers vendors put on their production APIs and from attacks tuned per model. Read the breach counts not as a ranking but as an illustration of the structural point.
