Refusal Before Decoding: Detecting and Exploiting Refusal Signals in Intermediate LLM Activations

In this paper, we investigate whether refusal behavior can be predicted from LLM intermediate activations before decoding using linear probes trained on residual stream activations at each transformer block. We find that refusal is linearly decodable well before the final layer, indicating that...

Erlang/OTP security vulnerabilities

Erlang/OTP is an open-source JavaScript library for handling exceptions. This library can catch exceptions caused by node.js’s built-in APIs. Erlang/OTP has a security vulnerability, which stems from improper trust in the certificate chain within the publickey module. This allows non-CA...
