Decoy Images Amplify Caption-Mediated Defenses Against Encoded Jailbreaks

arXiv:2608. 01043v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We report a counter-intuitive interaction between image inputs and existing black-box defenses on Vision--Language Models (VLMs): pairing an encoded jailbreak prompt with an unrelated decoy image can sharply lower attack success rate (ASR).

Unsafe by Reciprocity: How Generation-Understanding Coupling Undermines Safety in Unified Multimodal Models

The paper examines how the tight integration of multimodal understanding and image generation in Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) can create new safety vulnerabilities. It introduces RICE, an attack framework that exploits bidirectional interactions between generation and understanding to propagate unsafe signals across modalities. Experiments demonstrate high attack success rates in both Generation‑to‑Understanding and Understanding‑to‑Generation pathways, revealing previously overlooked safety weaknesses in UMMs.

FusionAudit: Pathway-Conditioned Robustness Auditing for Native Multimodal Models

FusionAudit introduces PaRMA, a pathway-conditioned robustness auditing framework for native multimodal vision‑language models. It evaluates two image‑level interventions—pixel perturbation and rendered‑text insertion—to expose architecture‑specific blind spots. The study applies diagnostic‑motivated attacks (MANTIS and Nat‑Evid) to 18 open‑weight VLMs, revealing that legacy single‑attack rankings are unstable and that PaRMA uncovers higher residual risk than standard benchmarks.

Efficient, Robust, and Anti-Collusion Fingerprinting of Image Diffusion Models

arXiv:2606. 12977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting, embedding user-specific identifiers (fingerprints) into generated outputs, has recently emerged as a popular solution to protect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of generative text-to-image (T2I) models and prevent unauthorized redistribution.

Repeat-After-Me: Black-Box Adaptive Visual Prompt Injection

Repeat-After-Me is a black-box adaptive visual prompt injection technique that can reveal personally identifiable information or trigger malicious tool calls in both open-weight and commercial vision‑language models, achieving attack success rates above 80% on Qwen3.6‑27B and 47% on GPT‑5.5. The method works even when the benign user prompt is unrelated to the injected task and does not explicitly authorize it, and it retains significant effectiveness when transferred across models or optimized on surrogate systems. In a real‑world OpenClaw Discord deployment, a minimally injected image can overwrite TOOLS.md, enabling remote code execution and secret exfiltration.

DiSCO: Defending text-to-image generation through distribution-guided contrastive prompt optimization

DiSCO is a zero‑shot, black‑box defense for text‑to‑image models that operates solely at the prompt level. It expands prompts with a distribution‑guided suffix using beam search and contrastive scoring against safe and unsafe image pools generated by the target model, iteratively refining until safe content is produced. The method improves safety on the I2P benchmark under various red‑teaming attacks, reducing attack success rates by 37.7% and 25.13% while preserving semantic fidelity and image coherence.
