Tripwire: Triggering Aligned Refusal via Statistically Certified Safety Neurons
Wei Zhao, Zhe Li, Peixin Zhang +1
Neuron- and path-level interventions offer the finest-grained route to defending large language models (LLMs) against jailbreak attacks, yet existing methods fall short of this pro…
Yuvion LLM: An Adversarially-Aware Large Language Model for Content And AI Safety
Ting Ma, Xiufeng Huang, Benlei Cui +43
As large language models are increasingly deployed in real-world systems, safety failures can still lead to harmful outputs and dangerous misuse. We argue that the essence of safet…
When Medical Safety Alignment Fails: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs on High-Risk Medical Queries
Yige Li, Jun Sun, Wei Zhao +5
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for medical and health-related questions, yet their safety in high-risk medical scenarios remains poorly understood. We introduce…
SoK: a Comprehensive Causality Analysis Framework for Large Language Model Security
Wei Zhao, Zhe Li, Jun Sun
Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities but remain vulnerable to adversarial manipulations such as jailbreaking, where crafted prompts bypass safety mechanisms…
AutoBackdoor: Automating Backdoor Attacks via LLM Agents
Yige Li, Zhe Li, Wei Zhao +4
Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to the secure deployment of large language models (LLMs), enabling adversaries to implant hidden behaviors triggered by specific inputs. Howe…
Q-MLLM: Vector Quantization for Robust Multimodal Large Language Model Security
Wei Zhao, Zhe Li, Yige Li +1
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in cross-modal understanding, but remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks through visual inputs…
Where Did It Go Wrong? Attributing Undesirable LLM Behaviors via Representation Gradient Tracing
Zhe Li, Wei Zhao, Yige Li +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, yet their deployment is frequently undermined by undesirable behaviors such as generating harmful content, f…
Zero-Shot Defense Against Toxic Images via Inherent Multimodal Alignment in LVLMs
Wei Zhao, Zhe Li, Yige Li +1
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have made significant strides in multimodal comprehension, thanks to extensive pre-training and fine-tuning on large-scale visual datasets. How…
Democratic Training Against Universal Adversarial Perturbations
