Diffusion LLMs as Targets and Adversaries: Mechanistic Safety Exploits

arXiv:2608. 07430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (DLLMs) replace autoregressive next-token prediction with iterative parallel denoising, yet their internal safety mechanisms remain poorly understood.

MaskForge: Structure-Aware Adaptive Attacks for Jailbreaking Diffusion Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 04027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising partially masked sequences under bidirectional context, exposing a safety surface distinct from autoregressive LLMs.

Break the Brake, Not the Wheel: Untargeted Jailbreak via Entropy Maximization

arXiv:2605. 10764v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent studies show that gradient-based universal image jailbreaks on vision-language models (VLMs) exhibit little or no cross-model transferability, casting doubt on the feasibility of transferable multimodal jailbreaks.
