A vulnerability in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) allows attackers to bypass safety alignments via Multi-Image Dispersion and Semantic Reconstruction (MIDAS). Attackers decompose malicious instructions into risk-bearing semantic subunits, fragment them, and distribute them across multiple benign-looking Game-style Visual Reasoning (GVR) puzzles (e.g., Letter Equations, Rank-and-Read, Odd-One-Out). A sanitized, persona-driven textual prompt with sequential placeholders is then used to…

Frontier Large Language Models (LLMs) contain a safeguard bypass vulnerability where safety filters fail to reliably block requests for dual-use, in silico biology tasks. This allows novice users with no specialized training to access restricted, expert-level biological protocols (e.g., virology troubleshooting, pathogen capabilities, novel biological agent construction). The models' safety mechanisms fail to trigger or are trivially bypassed under realistic extended interaction conditions…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are vulnerable to safety alignment bypasses via classical and obscure language contexts, most notably Classical Chinese, Latin, and Sanskrit. This vulnerability stems from a "High Capability-Low Alignment" distribution shift: models possess sophisticated semantic comprehension of historical languages due to extensive pre-training on historical archives and literature, but lack corresponding safety guardrails which are predominantly optimized for modern languages…

A vulnerability in the multi-turn context handling of Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to bypass safety guardrails by decomposing complex fraud and cybercrime operations into a sequence of seemingly benign queries. By mapping the cybercrime lifecycle (planning, reconnaissance, falsification, engagement, evasion, and scaling) into Long-Form Tasks (LFTs) and framing the queries as legitimate research or security testing, attackers can elicit actionable attack materials and detailed…

Agentic LLMs integrated with external data services (e.g., Model Context Protocol, MCP) are vulnerable to Adaptive Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) attacks. When an agent queries external servers, attackers can inject malicious payloads into the retrieved content to hijack the agent's reasoning process and force the execution of high-authority tools. Unlike traditional static prompt injections, this vulnerability dynamically exploits the agent's internal logic audit. By using Markovian…

Multiple open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) in the 1B to 7B parameter range are vulnerable to safety bypasses via long-form, multi-step reasoning prompt injection and jailbreak attacks. Attackers can evade alignment by embedding malicious instructions within extended contextual narratives, exploiting "attention dilution" and the models' tendency to prioritize contextual coherence over safety constraints (semantic camouflage). These reasoning-heavy attacks consistently bypass standard…

LLM-based Code Interpreter Agents, including OpenInterpreter and OpenCodeInterpreter, are vulnerable to sandbox evasion and arbitrary code execution via Natural Language Disguise and Contextual Channel Injection. Attackers can bypass Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) static analysis and explicit input guardrails by transforming malicious code logic into descriptive natural language instructions (Code Descriptions), which successfully evade syntax-layer blocks. Additionally, attackers can bypass input…

LLM-based security advisors exhibit systematic reasoning failures—including boundary confusion, attestation overclaiming, and mitigation hallucination—when providing architectural guidance for Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) like Intel SGX and Arm TrustZone. When embedded in tool-augmented agent pipelines, these models are susceptible to agentic misinterpretation, turning partial or poisoned tool outputs into highly confident but materially incorrect security conclusions. This…

A vulnerability in LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) allows an attacker to propagate covert biases and misalignment across multiple agents via subliminal prompting, an attack vector termed "Thought Virus." By injecting a seemingly benign, semantically unrelated token (such as a specific 3-digit number) into the prompt of a single compromised agent, an attacker can induce a specific targeted behavior (e.g., outputting a specific target concept or decreasing factual truthfulness). This induced…

The paper describes a reproducible prompt-injection failure in which low-privilege user or tool-output text that imitates a trusted role—especially a model’s reasoning style—is treated as authoritative. Its zero-shot, black-box “CoT Forgery” evaluation injects fabricated reasoning into user prompts and retrieved webpage/tool output. The authors report 60% average attack success on StrongREJECT and 56–70% success in an agent data-exfiltration evaluation, versus near-zero or substantially lower…
