🧠Researchers introduce MaskForge, a black-box attack method that exploits structural vulnerabilities in diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs) by leveraging their native masking capabilities. The technique achieves 79.3% average success rates across five models and transfers effectively to other benchmarks, demonstrating a significant security gap in an emerging class of language models distinct from standard autoregressive architectures.

🧠Researchers red-teamed ChatGPT and Claude Opus as TEE security advisors, finding both LLMs hallucinate mechanisms and overclaim guarantees in sensitive infrastructure guidance. The study demonstrates some failure patterns transfer across models (up to 12%) and proposes an 80.62% failure reduction through policy gating, retrieval grounding, and verification checks.

🧠Researchers have developed PGD²-GSM, a novel adversarial attack method that successfully performs high-resolution global semantic manipulation on learned image compression systems for the first time. The breakthrough uses a Periodic Geometric Decay schedule to overcome limitations in existing attack methods, exposing a critical vulnerability in DNN-based compression systems that previous techniques could not achieve.

🧠Researchers introduce MonitoringBench, a semi-automated red-teaming methodology that reveals significant gaps in AI agent monitoring systems. By decomposing attack generation into strategy, execution, and refinement stages, the team created 2,644 adversarial trajectories showing that frontier monitors claiming 94.9% catch rates actually perform at 60.3% against sophisticated attacks.

🧠Researchers have identified that 4.93% of skills in major LLM agent ecosystems are harmful and can be weaponized for cyberattacks, fraud, and privacy violations. The study reveals that presenting harmful tasks through pre-installed skills dramatically reduces AI model refusal rates, with harm scores increasing from 0.27 to 0.76 when intent is implicit rather than explicit.

🧠Researchers demonstrate a critical vulnerability in diffusion-based language models where safety mechanisms can be bypassed by re-masking committed refusal tokens and injecting affirmative prefixes, achieving 76-82% attack success rates without gradient optimization. The findings reveal that dLLM safety relies on a fragile architectural assumption rather than robust adversarial defenses.
