RecurGuard monitors recurrence rate, volume growth, and query progress in exposed reasoning traces to terminate generation on token-consumption attacks, reporting 99% detection on OverThink and 92% on ExtendAttack with near-zero false positives.
ReasonBreak demonstrates up to 89% attack success on reasoning and 72% on trajectories in NVIDIA Alpamayo VLA models via black-box textual perturbations, introducing a reasoning-aware evaluation framework and benchmark for autonomous driving.
OTora induces reasoning-level denial-of-service in tool-using LLM agents: it triggers a visit to an attacker-controlled page whose optimized reasoning payload inflates latency by up to 10x while preserving task accuracy.
GoAT-X introduces a Graph of Auditing Thoughts framework that combines static data flow extraction with structured LLM reasoning to identify semantic vulnerabilities in cross-chain token transactions.
Pruning removes 'unsafe tickets' from LLMs via gradient-free attribution, reducing harmful outputs and jailbreak vulnerability with minimal utility loss.
