Quickstart

Runs in well under a second on a CPU — no GPU, no model download.

pip install provael
provael attack --recipe full-sweep --out runs/first-scan

Adversarial ASR: 84.1% (143/170) · all-episode observed-unsafe 79.4% (143/180)
clean-task-success (benign control): 100.0% — the unattacked task-completion rate the ASR is read
against
predicate: default (uncalibrated) · benign baseline FPR 0.0%

Commands

provael list-policies         # 8 policies (stub is CPU; the other 7 need a GPU extra)
provael list-attacks          # 42 attacks across 19 families (17 adversarial + the benign baseline)
provael list-suites           # 5 suites — 3 CPU fixtures, 2 real simulators (gated)
provael list-recipes          # named presets: quick / instruction-only / core-sweep / full-sweep / ci-gate
provael list-reproductions    # FreezeVLA / OpenVLA-patch / BadVLA / RoboPAIR
provael reproduce freezevla   # reproduce a published attack on the CPU stub
provael report --in runs/first-scan --format scorecard   # one-page ASR scorecard
provael report --in runs/first-scan --format oscal       # NIST OSCAL evidence
provael export --in runs/first-scan --format avid        # AVID record

Outputs

report.json (byte-deterministic), report.md, SARIF (--format sarif), a compliance evidence pack (--format compliance), an ASR scorecard (--format scorecard), OSCAL, and an AVID record.

Real models & simulators

pip install 'provael[lerobot]'                 # GPU
PROVAEL_INTEGRATION=1 provael attack --policy smolvla --suite libero \
    --model HuggingFaceVLA/smolvla_libero --attacks none,instruction,visual,injection

See the examples gallery for π0 / GR00T / OpenVLA adapters and the second (Meta-World) suite.

Continuous security gate (CI)

Gate every new checkpoint in CI with the reusable Action. It red-teams the policy, uploads findings as SARIF, and fails the job when the ASR exceeds a threshold or regresses past a tolerance versus a known-good baseline — a slice regresses only when the candidate ASR beats the baseline by more than the tolerance and the two 95% Wilson CIs are disjoint, so small-n noise cannot fail a build.

The stub policy/suite run on a CPU runner (a fast wiring smoke); a real policy (policy: smolvla, suite: libero) needs a GPU runner + the [lerobot] extra.

Self-maintaining. Copy the reference workflow .github/workflows/checkpoint-security-gate.yml: it persists the baseline in the Actions cache and promotes each passing checkpoint to the next baseline — the first run establishes the baseline, every run after diffs against it.

Signed evidence. Each run emits a signed regression attestation — a tamper-evident, offline-verifiable Ed25519 envelope binding the diff + SARIF + summary under one signature, stating the verdict with the ASR and its 95% Wilson CI (never a bare number). The same runs locally:

provael report --in runs/candidate --baseline .provael/baseline.report.json \
    --sarif-out runs/candidate/regression.sarif \
    --attest-out runs/candidate/regression.attestation.json    # signed; --key <pem> for an org key

The gate is generic across the policy/suite abstraction — point it at your checkpoint. Generality is intended; it is tested on SmolVLA × LIBERO today. Evidence, not certification.
