ARENA: Automated Red-Teaming for Large Audio Language Models

arXiv:2608. 15578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio-language models (LALMs) make it possible to interact with language models through speech, music, and environmental sound, but they also introduce a safety surface that is difficult to expose with text-only red-teaming.

Spectral Masking and Interpolation Attack (SMIA): A Black-box Adversarial Attack against Voice Authentication and Anti-Spoofing Systems

The paper introduces the Spectral Masking and Interpolation Attack (SMIA), a black‑box adversarial technique that subtly alters inaudible frequency regions of AI‑generated audio to fool voice authentication systems and their countermeasures. Experiments show SMIA achieves at least 82% success against combined verification and countermeasure systems, 97.5% against standalone speaker verification, and 100% against countermeasures, revealing a critical security gap. The authors argue that current static defenses are inadequate and call for dynamic, context‑aware defenses that can adapt to evolving threats.

MADBench: A Benchmark for Modality-Aware Audio Deepfake Detection

arXiv:2608. 09593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech synthesis and audio generation have made high-fidelity acoustic forgery low-cost and difficult to attribute, enabling a realistic attack scenario in which speech and background audio are independently manipulated over otherwise authentic video.

`From Prompt to Perturbation': An Adaptive Framework for Voice-Based Jailbreaks on Audio LLMs

The paper introduces an adaptive jailbreak attack framework that evaluates both cascaded pipelines and end‑to‑end large audio‑language models (LALMs) under a unified setting. It employs a feedback‑guided mutation engine to automatically generate and refine jailbreak candidates across textual prompts and audio perturbations, thereby broadening attack diversity. Experiments on six audio‑based systems show that both paradigms remain highly vulnerable, with the framework achieving higher attack success rates than existing methods.
