Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Safety training for large language models (LLMs) is conducted predominantly in English, leaving uncertain how well safety mechanisms generalize to low-resource languages and mixed-language code-switching. We show that this creates an epistemic gap in which models confidently generate harmful responses for inputs that fall outside the distribution of their safety training.

Safety Paradox: How Enhanced Safety Awareness Leaves LLMs Vulnerable to Posterior Attack

Large language models (LLMs) are rigorously aligned to refuse harmful requests, a process that inherently cultivates a latent capacity to evaluate and recognize unsafe content. In this work, we reveal that this advanced safety awareness inadvertently introduces a fatal vulnerability.

Patcher: Post-Hoc Patching of Backdoored Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 02995v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models remain vulnerable to jailbreak backdoor attacks, where adversaries poison safety alignment data to embed hidden triggers that bypass safety mechanisms.

Minionese: Comprehensive Benchmark and Mechanistic Study of Multilingual LLM Safety

arXiv:2607. 10112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safety alignment in large language models remains brittle across languages: prompts reliably refused in English can elicit harmful compliance in non-English and low-resource settings.
