HarmProfile: Characterizing Harmful Distributions in Frontier LLMs

Zhouyuan Ma, Yutao Wu, Hanxun Huang +6

Frontier large language models (LLMs) safety evaluation has largely treated harmful generation as an attack outcome rather than as an object of analysis. Consequently, little is kn…

Safety Testing LLM Agents at Scale: From Risk Discovery to Evidence-Grounded Verification

Yunhao Feng, Ruixiao Lin, Ming Wen +12

LLM agents increasingly perform autonomous actions through external tools, leading to complex and evolving safety risks. However, existing safety testing targets expert-designed sa…

What Does a Sharing Question Add? Auditing LLM Survey Scores for Misinformation

Zonghuan Xu, Xiang Zheng, Yutao Wu +1

Evaluating misinformation requires distinguishing whether readers believe content from whether they would share it. Asking large language models (LLMs) both questions yields two sc…

Internal Safety Collapse in Frontier Large Language Models

Yutao Wu, Xiao Liu, Yifeng Gao +7

This work identifies a critical failure mode in frontier large language models (LLMs), which we term Internal Safety Collapse (ISC): under certain task conditions, models enter a s…

Toward Universal and Transferable Jailbreak Attacks on Vision-Language Models

Kaiyuan Cui, Yige Li, Yutao Wu +4

Vision-language models (VLMs) extend large language models (LLMs) with vision encoders, enabling text generation conditioned on both images and text. However, this multimodal integ…
