LASH adaptively composes multiple jailbreak seed prompts via genetic search over subsets and mixture weights to reach 84.5% keyword ASR and 74.5% two-stage ASR on JailbreakBench while using only 30 queries per prompt.
Persona-driven workflow and interface improve automated and human-AI red-teaming of generative AI by incorporating diverse perspectives into adversarial prompt creation.
Greedy random search recovers token sequences that elicit harmful response prefixes from LLMs without meaningful instructions, showing natural backdoors are present yet require more effort than semantic attacks.
ContextualJailbreak uses evolutionary search over simulated primed dialogues with novel mutations to reach 90-100% attack success on open LLMs and transfers to some closed frontier models at 15-90% rates.
STAR-Teaming uses a Strategy-Response Multiplex Network inside a multi-agent framework to organize attack strategies into semantic communities, delivering higher attack success rates on LLMs at lower computational cost than prior methods.
Continuous adversarial training in the embedding space produces a robust generalization bound for linear transformers that decreases with perturbation radius, tied to singular values of the embedding matrix, and motivates a new regularizer that improves real LLM jailbreak robustness-utility tradeoff
TROJail improves multi-turn LLM jailbreak success rates by framing attacks as trajectory optimization in RL and adding process rewards that penalize early refusals while steering semantic relevance to the target harm.
DarkLLM trains an LLM to generate language-driven adversarial perturbations that unify targeted, untargeted, segmentation, and multi-model attacks on foundation models.
DR-Smoothing introduces a disrupt-then-rectify prompt processing scheme into smoothing defenses, delivering tight theoretical bounds on success probability against both token- and prompt-level jailbreaks.
ARES discovers dual vulnerabilities in LLMs and reward models via adaptive adversarial prompt composition and repairs them through sequential fine-tuning of the reward model followed by policy optimization.
Recovering an orthogonal basis from model activations yields a model-native skill characterization that improves reasoning Pass@1 by up to 41% via targeted data selection and supports inference steering, outperforming human-characterized alternatives.
MemJack achieves 71.48% attack success rate on unmodified COCO val2017 images against Qwen3-VL-Plus by coordinating agents to map visual entities to malicious intents, apply multi-angle camouflage, and filter refusals via iterative nullspace projection while transferring strategies through a shared
TEMPLATEFUZZ mutates chat templates with element-level rules and heuristic search to reach 98.2% average jailbreak success rate on twelve open-source LLMs while degrading accuracy by only 1.1%.
Salami Attack chains low-risk inputs to cumulatively trigger high-risk LLM behaviors, achieving over 90% success on GPT-4o and Gemini while resisting some defenses.
EvoSynth evolves code-based jailbreak algorithms via multi-agent self-correction, reaching 85.5% ASR on Claude-Sonnet-4.5 and 95.9% average across targets with greater diversity.
THREAT uses coordinated LLMs in an iterative optimization loop to generate jailbreak prompts that achieve higher success rates and lower detection rates than previous methods across tested models and datasets.
ADR is a three-component detection system for AI agents that combines telemetry sensors, red teaming, and two-tier detection, achieving 97.2% precision in a ten-month Uber deployment and outperforming baselines on the new ADR-Bench.
