Overview

Running Vulnerability Scans

To configure and run Witness Attack scans, click the Configure Scan tab and make your choices in each section.

Model

Cards for popular models are already configured. Just add your API key. Choose any single Model to scan by clicking on it’s card. Configure the Custom API card’s API Spec to scan your own in-house models, or models that are not included in the models list yet.
Be sure to include the API parameters you want in the API Spec. They can be found on the model’s website, in the API documentation.

Parameters

Parameters let you choose your maximum budget for tokens used.

Datasets

Datasets are popular lists of attacks, compiled by various vendors and teams. You can choose one or more datasets to run in a scan.

Custom Datasets

You can add test datasets in this section, formatted as .csv files.
 

Configure Model Scans

On the Configure Scan screen, when you click on any model, the pre-configured API endpoint and parameters appear in the Edit API Spec text area for each model.
The correct parameters for each model are already populated, all you need to do is add your API key after the ‘Authorization: Bearer ‘ string, replacing the placeholder text. “XXXXX” and “$GEMINI_API_KEY” are examples of placeholder text strings.
💡
Note that the placeholder API key strings like “$GEMINI_API_KEY” are not environment variables. Replace the entire placeholder string, including any ‘$’ symbols, with your API key.
Edit any other parameters if needed. Add your API key, then click the Verify Integration button. Your edits will be saved for the duration of the scan.
Clicking on another Model, or exiting Witness Attack, will reset the API Spec to the default. Your API Key will not be saved or stored for future scans.
Witness Attack Configure Scan screen showing the expanded Model section with available AI model cards: Custom API, Custom API Image, Open AI (highlighted), Deepseek v1, Replicate, Grog, Together.ai, Gemini, Claude, Cohere, and OpenRouter.ai. Each card shows API key requirement. Edit API Spec panel shows API endpoint configuration for Gemini.
Witness Attack ‘Edit API Spec’ window showing the Gemini API configuration. Displays POST endpoint to
The circle to the left of the Model title text will turn green and display a checkmark. Verified will be displayed to the right of the Model title.
Witness Attack Model section showing green checkmark and ‘Verified’ status badge next to the Model title. Custom API card is selected, showing ‘Requires api spec’ label. Indicates successful API integration verification.
