Relational Priors as Convergence Pressure in LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems
Ming Shen, Chao Shang, Sadat Shahriar +4
Large language model-based multi-agent systems (LLM-MAS) are designed through roles, debate protocols, and aggregation rules. These choices create implicit social expectations: age…
Break Me If You Can: Self-Jailbreaking of Aligned LLMs via Lexical Insertion Prompting
Devang Kulshreshtha, Hang Su, Haibo Jin +2
We introduce \emph{self-jailbreaking}, a threat model in which an aligned LLM guides its own compromise. Unlike most jailbreak techniques, which often rely on handcrafted prompts o…
STAC: When Innocent Tools Form Dangerous Chains for LLM Agents
Jing-Jing Li, Jianfeng He, Chao Shang +6
As LLMs advance into autonomous agents with tool-use capabilities, they introduce security challenges that extend beyond traditional content-based LLM safety concerns. This paper i…
The Subtle Art of Defection: Understanding Uncooperative Behaviors in LLM based Multi-Agent Systems
Devang Kulshreshtha, Wanyu Du, Raghav Jain +4
This paper introduces a novel framework for simulating and analyzing how uncooperative behaviors can destabilize or collapse LLM-based multi-agent systems. Our framework includes t…
