DecisionRobust: Benchmarking Robustness for JEV Style Decision Models Across Text and Vision
Abstract
DecisionRobust evaluates decision model reliability against adversarial text, image, and prompt injection attacks, showing that robustness varies by task and that label consistency checks reduce apparent attack success.
Emerging decision models such as JEV provide typed interfaces that map task instructions and observations directly to choices, judgments, and scores. As these models are increasingly used for automated decision-making, understanding their reliability under adversarial manipulation becomes critical. We introduce DecisionRobust, a benchmark for systematically evaluating the robustness of decision models across textual and visual inputs. Our benchmark covers practical decision-making scenarios and a diverse suite of attacks, including semantics-preserving text perturbations, image perturbations, and prompt injection in both modalities. We curate evaluation sets through external validity checks and cross-model candidate selection. We evaluate 30 model configurations on text tasks and 17 on vision tasks, including 24 and 12 held-out models, respectively, that are excluded from candidate selection. Our experiments reveal several key findings. First, attacks expose vulnerabilities beyond the models used for construction and selection, although optimized image perturbations transfer weakly to many targets even with multiple surrogates. Second, relative model robustness varies across tasks and attack types, and resistance to input perturbations does not necessarily imply resistance to prompt injection. Third, label-consistency checks substantially reduce measured attack success across text and image settings, highlighting the importance of validating apparent failures. The benchmark is available at https://yifan-lan.github.io/DecisionRobust/.

We introduce DecisionRobust, a benchmark for testing the robustness of JEV-style decision models across text and vision, including classification, routing, tool selection, and robotics scenarios.
Our public release contains 1,058 curated attack examples across five suites: meaning-preserving text attacks, text prompt injection, image perturbations, in-image instruction overlays, and instruction injection alongside images. We evaluate 30 model configurations on text and 17 on vision.
One finding we found particularly interesting: resistance to input perturbations does not necessarily imply resistance to prompt injection. We also find that checking whether attacks preserve the correct answer substantially changes measured attack success.
These are curated challenge sets, so the results should not be interpreted as real-world failure rates.

If you use decision models in an application, which failure mode would you most want a robustness benchmark to capture? We’d love suggestions for additional models and scenarios!
