Researchers introduce MedMisBench, a benchmark of 10,932 medical questions paired with 48,889 misleading context injections, to measure whether LLMs maintain correct medical judgment under adversarial pressure. Across 11 model configurations, mean accuracy drops from 71.1% to 38.0% when misleading context is injected, with authority-framed falsehoods achieving 69.5% attack success. A 14-member international clinical panel flagged serious potential harm in 38.2% of reviewed cases. The work argues that existing medical benchmarks measure knowledge but not robustness to manipulation, exposing a structural gap in LLM safety evaluation for healthcare.
