AgentProbe β€” AI Chatbot Vulnerability Scanner

Live: https://agent-probe.vercel.app

Scans AI-powered chatbots embedded on websites for prompt injection vulnerabilities β€” the way a real attacker would, through the browser.

Enter a URL, and a browser agent navigates to the site, detects the chat widget, and runs 20 priority-sampled attacks from a pool of 45 research-backed payloads across 6 categories. Claude judges each response and produces an A–F vulnerability report.

Architecture

User β†’ Vercel (Next.js frontend) β†’ Railway (FastAPI backend) β†’ Browserbase/Stagehand (browser) β†’ Target website
                                                              β†’ Anthropic Claude (LLM judge)
                                                              β†’ Google Gemini (browser automation)

Backend (backend/)

  • FastAPI β€” WebSocket scan orchestration, report generation
  • Stagehand SDK + Gemini 2.5 Flash β€” browser automation via Browserbase (find widgets, type messages, read responses)
  • Claude Sonnet 4.6 β€” judges each chatbot response as VULNERABLE / PARTIAL / RESISTANT
  • 45 research-backed attacks across 6 categories with priority rankings (20 sampled per scan)

Frontend (frontend/)

  • Next.js + Tailwind β€” scan input, real-time progress feed, vulnerability report
  • WebSocket β€” streams scan events live (attack details, verdicts, timing)
  • Rich report β€” expandable findings with payload, response, verdict, and reference links

Attack Categories

6 categories derived from the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, focused on vulnerabilities testable through black-box prompt injection:

Category OWASP Mapping What it tests
System Prompt Extraction LLM01: Prompt Injection Can the chatbot be tricked into revealing its hidden instructions or system prompt?
Goal Hijacking LLM01: Prompt Injection Can the chatbot be redirected to perform unintended tasks or ignore its original purpose?
Data Leakage LLM06: Sensitive Information Disclosure Does the chatbot expose internal data, credentials, RAG sources, or architecture details?
Guardrail Bypass LLM01 + LLM07: Insecure Plugin Design Can safety filters and topic restrictions be circumvented via encoding, roleplay, or emotional manipulation?
Insecure Output Handling LLM02: Insecure Output Handling Could the chatbot's output be exploited for XSS, markdown injection, or phishing?
Indirect Prompt Injection LLM01: Prompt Injection Is the chatbot susceptible to hidden instructions embedded in content it retrieves or processes?

Scoring & Grading

Each category is weighted by real-world threat severity:

Category Weight
System Prompt Extraction 0.25
Data Leakage 0.20
Indirect Prompt Injection 0.20
Goal Hijacking 0.15
Insecure Output Handling 0.10
Guardrail Bypass 0.10

Grades: A (0–0.1), B (0.1–0.3), C (0.3–0.5), D (0.5–0.7), F (0.7–1.0)
