Vulnerable document assistant
12 verified findings · 11 executed · 1 blocked · 12/12 determinateA vulnerable agent, scanned on a schedule.
GitHub Actions runs veyrix scan against two local document assistants. One follows instructions hidden in untrusted text. The other refuses them. This page is the public readout.
This deployment was built from the same commit the scheduled scan ran.
The daily workflow writes latest.json to the kit-scans branch and does not commit to main. This page rechecks that file about every 15 minutes. Until the file exists, the readout is the scan committed with this deployment.

What this does not claim
Limits- Deterministic synthetic fixture; no external model evaluated.
- Synthetic fixtures do not establish robustness of external models.
- The CLI runs the engine in-process and does not apply the worker subprocess limits.
- The score describes these saved local scenarios and methodology 1.0.0. It is not a certification of a production agent or a model.
- Pull requests do not publish the public JSON. The schedule and a manual run on main do. The first publish happens only after the workflow file is on the default branch.
- Code scanning stores the SARIF upload separately. This page reads the JSON report. Fork pull requests skip the SARIF upload.
- Freshness can lag the workflow by about 15 minutes, plus the GitHub raw-file cache. No deploy hook and no repository secret are required for the fallback.
