RAS: Measuring LLM Safety Through Refusal Alignment

arXiv:2606. 25750v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safety evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is commonly performed by querying models with unsafe or jailbreak prompts and judging whether their outputs violate a safety policy.

IndicSafeEval: Safety Robustness of Large Language Models under Multilingual Persuasive Jailbreak Attacks

IndicSafeEval is a new evaluation framework that tests the safety robustness of large language models against persuasion-based jailbreak attacks in Indian languages. The benchmark includes 7,200 adversarial prompts covering ten safety-critical content categories, six persuasive strategies, and four languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi). Experiments show that model safety varies significantly across languages, prompt styles, and risk categories, revealing that current English-centric safety evaluations miss important multilingual vulnerabilities.

Register Shifts Break LLM Safety: A Bengali Benchmark with Culturally Grounded Harms

The paper introduces BanglaSafe, a benchmark of 879 Bengali prompts that covers 17 culturally grounded harm categories and five prompting conditions. Evaluation of 18 frontier LLMs shows that 53.6% of responses are unsafe or partially unsafe, with 14.7% containing strictly harmful content. The study finds that the writing style within Bengali has a stronger impact on safety than the language switch itself, and that current safety classifiers struggle to reliably evaluate Bengali content.

CS-Guard: Benchmarking LLM Guardrails for Code Generation Security

CS-Guard is a new benchmark that systematically evaluates guardrails for code generation security, covering 1,000 malware-generation prompts, 7 jailbreak attacks, and a novel fictional scenario attack (FSA) for text-to-code generation, as well as 331 code prompts for code-to-code generation. The study empirically tests nine guardrails across seven large language models, finding that many guardrails fail to prevent malicious code generation, with attack success rates reaching about 50% for text-to-code and up to nearly 100% for code-to-code and FSA scenarios. CS-Guard introduces a modular three-layer guardrail taxonomy and releases its benchmark and data to support future research.
