SynCred-Bench: Benchmarking Synthetic Credibility in AI-Generated Visual Misinformation
Junxiao Yang, Minghao Zhang, Xiaoce Wang +4
Recent generative models can now produce visual artifacts with realistic embedded text and layouts, creating a new misinformation threat: synthetic credibility. We introduce SYNCRE…
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…
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…
How Should We Enhance the Safety of Large Reasoning Models: An Empirical Study
Zhexin Zhang, Xian Qi Loye, Victor Shea-Jay Huang +8
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable success on reasoning-intensive tasks such as mathematics and programming. However, their enhanced reasoning capabilities do n…
Be Careful When Fine-tuning On Open-Source LLMs: Your Fine-tuning Data Could Be Secretly Stolen!
Zhexin Zhang, Yuhao Sun, Junxiao Yang +4
Fine-tuning on open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) with proprietary data is now a standard practice for downstream developers to obtain task-specific LLMs. Surprisingly, we re…
SMSP: A Plug-and-Play Strategy of Multi-Scale Perception for MLLMs to Perceive Visual Illusions
Jinzhe Tu, Ruilei Guo, Zihan Guo +3
Recent works have shown that multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are highly vulnerable to hidden-pattern visual illusions, where the hidden content is imperceptible to models…
