Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT-5.2 are vulnerable to safety guardrail bypasses via authoritative and operational contextual framing. Attackers can evade safety classifiers by encapsulating restricted objectives (e.g., malicious code generation, misinformation, social engineering) within "legitimate" professional contexts, such as graduate-level academic research, network stress-testing, or corporate security awareness simulations. This vulnerability is exploitable both via zero-shot…

A vulnerability in safety-aligned Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to achieve an exponentially scaling Attack Success Rate (ASR) for jailbreaks by combining adversarial prompt injection with repeated inference-time sampling. While ASR against un-injected prompts scales polynomially with the number of generated samples ($k$), introducing a long adversarial suffix acts as a strong "misalignment field." This shifts the model's generation distribution into a replica-symmetric ordered…

A vulnerability in the compositional reasoning architecture of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) allows attackers to bypass multimodal safety alignments using a technique known as Reasoning-Oriented Programming (ROP). Current safety mechanisms primarily target explicit malicious patterns at the perception level (early layers). This vulnerability exploits late-stage reasoning by decomposing a harmful objective into a set of spatially isolated, semantically benign visual "gadgets". Because…

A structural vulnerability in the safety alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to bypass guardrails by manipulating when and how malicious intent is reconstructed during inference. This vulnerability, exploited via Structured Semantic Cloaking (S2C), takes advantage of safety mechanisms that rely on the coherent, explicit surface realization of harmful semantics at early generation stages. By structurally fragmenting malicious queries across disjoint prompt segments and…

LLM-powered automated social media accounts (bots) are vulnerable to prompt injection via public user replies. When an automated bot scrapes and processes social media engagement to generate responses, an attacker can submit an instruction-override command within a direct reply. Because the underlying LLM fails to isolate its core system instructions (e.g., maintaining a specific political persona) from untrusted user input, the injected command hijacks the model's context window. This forces…

Autoregressive language models are vulnerable to state-dependent safety collapse via structured multi-turn context manipulation. The vulnerability stems from the model treating dialogue history as a state transition operator rather than a passive record. By initializing a conversational trajectory with a semantic-preserving softened query and a query-aware persona containing specific named entities, an attacker can establish "representational anchors" that trigger abrupt phase transitions in…

A vulnerability in the safety alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to bypass safety guardrails by using malicious prompts contextualized in the Thai language and culture. Evaluated models exhibit a significantly higher Attack Success Rate (ASR) against Thai-specific, culturally contextualized attacks compared to general translated attacks. By exploiting local cultural nuances, regional slang, and Thai socio-cultural contexts, attackers can easily circumvent standard…

Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) are vulnerable to highly query-efficient black-box jailbreak attacks due to the structural properties of refusal behaviors: skewed token contribution and cross-model consistency. Refusal mechanisms within LLMs are typically triggered by a sparse subset of sensitive tokens rather than the entire prompt, and these refusal representations (specifically the primary left singular vector of the perturbed representation matrix at intermediate layers) are…

A temporal trajectory infilling vulnerability in Text-to-Video (T2V) generative models allows attackers to bypass input and output safety filters to generate policy-violating content. The vulnerability is exploited using a fragmented prompting technique known as Two Frames Matter (TFM). An attacker submits a prompt that specifies only sparse boundary conditions (the start and end frames) using semantically suggestive but lexically benign alternatives, entirely omitting the intermediate action…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are vulnerable to TAO-Attack, an advanced optimization-based jailbreak that bypasses safety alignments by exploiting gradient-guided token updates. The vulnerability stems from a two-stage loss function combined with a Direction-Priority Token Optimization (DPTO) algorithm. In the first stage, the attack optimizes an adversarial prompt suffix to minimize the probability of refusal signals (e.g., "I cannot") while maximizing the probability of a harmful target…
