Attackers can force LLM guardrails into extended reasoning loops via optimized payloads, causing 13-63x token amplification and up to 148x latency in agent systems.
VLMs preserve linearly separable visual magnitudes and can compare them, yet collapse at symbolic mapping because visual and textual number spaces remain fractured and disjoint.
Open-source LLMs detect phishing intent at high rates but still generate actionable phishing content, and GuardPhish supplies a dataset plus modular classifiers to close the gap.
Refusal in language models is mediated by a single direction in residual stream activations that can be erased to disable safety or added to elicit refusal.
Prompt injection defenses create a security-fidelity tradeoff with no model or defense achieving both high security and high fidelity on the SecFid benchmark across 1,168 examples.
Internal probes across three model families fail generalization and specificity tests and therefore do not support robust pre-action misalignment monitoring.
MTK detects jailbreaks by monitoring the evolution of prompt neighborhood structures on the data manifold through LLM layers, reporting 95% TPR at 5% FPR on benign and 2% on pseudo-malicious prompts plus 85% TPR under adaptive attacks.
IHO is a new black-box jailbreak attack for LLMs that is adaptive, efficient, transferable across models and behaviors, and effective even against layered defenses without modification.
LiL vulnerabilities are more severe than ecosystem and conventional bugs and drop LLM-based repair Pass@1 by ~10.8%, with three categories often at 0% success.
JBShield is vulnerable to adaptive JB-GCG attacks (up to 53% ASR) because jailbreak representations occupy a distinct region in refusal-direction space; the new RTV defense using Mahalanobis detection on multi-layer fingerprints reaches 0.99 AUROC and limits adaptive ASR to 7%.
FlashRT delivers 2x-7x speedup and 2x-4x GPU memory reduction for prompt injection and knowledge corruption attacks on long-context LLMs versus nanoGCG.
Perturbation probing identifies tiny sets of FFN neurons that control refusal templates and language routing in LLMs, enabling precise ablations and directional interventions that alter behavior on benchmarks while preserving safety.
Ethics testing is introduced as a systematic approach to generate tests that identify software harms induced by unethical behavior in generative AI outputs.
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%.
Comic-based visual narratives achieve over 90% ensemble success rates on multiple MLLMs, outperforming text and random-image baselines while breaking existing safety methods and evaluators.
SSAG bypasses logit suppression in five LLMs to produce harmful responses at 95% success rate and 86% lower latency; VulMine reaches 77% attack success against defenses.
JailbreakBench supplies an evolving set of jailbreak prompts, a 100-behavior dataset aligned with usage policies, a standardized evaluation framework, and a leaderboard to enable comparable assessments of attacks and defenses on LLMs.
SmoothLLM mitigates jailbreaking attacks on LLMs by randomly perturbing multiple copies of a prompt at the character level and aggregating the outputs to detect adversarial inputs.
PolicyAlign aligns LLMs to natural-language safety policies by synthesizing violating instructions and performing on-policy self-distillation with policy-sensitive filtering, improving safety without high-quality supervision data.
Ghostwriter attack injects fabricated evidence to steer LLM viewpoints, with experiments showing high success on commercial models and partial mitigation on guarded ones.
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.
Embedding disruption re-triggers LLM internal safeguards to detect jailbreak prompts more effectively than standalone defenses.
ASTRA is an automated closed-loop framework that discovers, retrieves, and evolves jailbreak attack strategies for LLMs using a dynamic three-tier strategy library and outperforms baselines in black-box settings.
