AEGIS: A Mechanism-Guided Defense against Visual Synonym Jailbreaks in Text-to-Image Models
Yuanmin Huang, Zhenfei Zhang, Mi Zhang +5
Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved high visual fidelity and broad adoption, but remain vulnerable to safety violations when adversaries exploit them to synthesize illicit…
Oyster-II: Reinforcement Learning for Constructive Safety Alignment in Large Language Models
Jiyang Guan, Yong Xie, Jun Chen +6
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse applications, yet ensuring their simultaneous safety, helpfulness, and trustworthiness remains…
AgentDoG 1.5: A Lightweight and Scalable Alignment Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security
Dongrui Liu, Yu Li, Zhonghao Yang +47
Modern open-world agents such as OpenClaw exhibit powerful cross-environment execution capabilities yet introduce broad new safety risk sources. Meanwhile, advanced frontier AI mod…
Inducing Overthink: Hierarchical Genetic Algorithm-based DoS Attack on Black-Box Large Language Reasoning Models
Shuqiang Wang, Wei Cao, Jiaqi Weng +4
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) are increasingly integrated into systems requiring reliable multi-step inference, yet this growing dependence exposes new vulnerabilities related to c…
LASA: Language-Agnostic Semantic Alignment at the Semantic Bottleneck for LLM Safety
Junxiao Yang, Haoran Liu, Jinzhe Tu +9
Large language models (LLMs) often demonstrate strong safety performance in high-resource languages, yet exhibit severe vulnerabilities when queried in low-resource languages. We a…
AgentDoG: A Diagnostic Guardrail Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security
Dongrui Liu, Qihan Ren, Chen Qian +40
The rise of AI agents introduces complex safety and security challenges arising from autonomous tool use and environmental interactions. Current guardrail models lack agentic risk…
