TempJail: Temporal Jailbreak Attacks against Image-to-Video Generation Models

The paper introduces TempJail, a temporal jailbreak framework targeting image‑to‑video generation models. It exploits a newly identified vulnerability where unsafe semantics arise from the composition of frames over time, rather than from single‑frame violations. By decomposing malicious captions into visual conditions and temporal instructions, and by employing controlled latent perturbations and template rewriting, TempJail achieves a 23.3 % higher attack success rate than prior methods on several commercial models.

VPA-Guard: Defending and Benchmarking Image-to-Video Generation Against Visual Prompt Attacks

Recent advancements in Image-to-Video (I2V) generation have transformed input images from simple appearance references into interactive control interfaces where visual cues such as arrows, sketches, and emojis orchestrate complex video dynamics with unprecedented controllability. However, these seemingly innocuous static cues can be interpreted by models as executable temporal instructions, unfolding into harmful actions in the generated videos.

Every Picture Tells a Dangerous Story: Memory-Augmented Multi-Agent Jailbreak Attacks on VLMs

The paper introduces MemJack, a memory‑augmented multi‑agent framework that automatically generates jailbreak attacks on Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) using benign natural images as visual anchors. MemJack discovers visual anchors, camouflages them semantically, evaluates responses, repairs via reflection, and replans dynamically, forming a closed‑loop attack pipeline. The authors also create MemJack‑Bench, a dataset of over 113,000 interactive multimodal jailbreak trajectories, and show that MemJack achieves a 71.48% attack success rate against Qwen3‑VL‑Plus, reaching 90% under extended budgets, outperforming other baselines on natural‑image evaluation.

Jailbreaking Text-to-Image Models Through Cracks: Navigating Heterogeneous Safety Filters via Multi-Agent Debate

The paper introduces the Detection Surface, a geometric framework that maps the decision boundaries of heterogeneous safety filters in text‑to‑image models. Using this insight, the authors propose CRACK, a multi‑agent debate system that iteratively mutates prompts, diagnoses layer‑specific constraints, and refines attacks to bypass composite defenses. Experiments demonstrate that CRACK can achieve attack success rates up to 99.63% while using fewer queries and preserving semantic fidelity.

Divide and Conquer: A Hybrid Strategy Defeats Multimodal Large Language Models

The paper introduces JMLLM, a multimodal jailbreaking approach that targets text, visual, and auditory inputs to expose vulnerabilities in large language models. It also presents TriJail, a new dataset containing jailbreak prompts across all three modalities. Experiments on TriJail and AdvBench show higher attack success rates and lower time overhead compared to existing methods.

The Plot Twist: Jailbreaking Unified Multimodal Models with a Three-Act NarrativeAttack

The paper introduces NarrativeAttack, a jailbreak framework that exploits unified multimodal models (UMMs) by embedding a malicious query within a self‑contained three‑act visual narrative. The attack uses the model’s own image generator to create setup and resolution images, hiding the malicious event as a hidden climax, and concludes with an image‑based guessing game that forces the model to select the relevant answer. Experiments demonstrate that NarrativeAttack outperforms previous methods, achieving up to 88.25% attack success rate on Gemini‑2.5‑Flash, revealing a significant safety vulnerability in UMMs.
