Benchmarking Safety Risks of Knowledge-Intensive Reasoning under Malicious Knowledge Editing

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on knowledge editing to support knowledge-intensive reasoning, but this flexibility also introduces critical safety risks: adversaries can inject malicious or misleading knowledge that corrupts downstream reasoning and leads to harmful outcomes. Existing knowledge editing benchmarks primarily focus on editing efficacy and lack a unified framework for systematically evaluating the safety implications of edited knowledge on reasoning behavior. To address this gap, we present EditRisk-Bench, a benchmark for systematically evaluating safety risks of knowledge-intensive reasoning under malicious knowledge editing. Unlike prior benchmarks that main...
