- Existing red-teaming benchmarks, when adapted to new languages via direct translation, fail to capture socio-technical vulnerabilities rooted in local culture and law, creating a critical blind spot in LLM safety evaluation. To address this gap, we introduce CAGE (Culturally Adaptive Generation), a framework that systematically adapts the adversarial intent of proven red-teaming prompts to new cultural contexts. At the core of CAGE is the Semantic Mold, a novel approach that disentangles a prompt's adversarial structure from its cultural content. This approach enables the modeling of realistic, localized threats rather than testing for simple jailbreaks. As a representative example, we demonstrate our framework by creating KoRSET, a Korean benchmark, which proves more effective at revealing vulnerabilities than direct translation baselines. CAGE offers a scalable solution for developing meaningful, context-aware safety benchmarks across diverse cultures. Our dataset and evaluation rubrics are publicly available at https://github.com/selectstar-ai/CAGE-paper. (WARNING: This paper contains model outputs that can be offensive in nature.)
