LLM-Based Dynamic Differential Testing for Database Connectors with Reinforcement Learning-Guided Prompt Selection

Database connectors are critical components enabling applications to interact with underlying database management systems DBMS, yet their security vulnerabilities often remain overlooked. Unlike traditional software defects, connector vulnerabilities exhibit subtle behavioral patterns and are...

Alphabet Index Mapping: Jailbreaking LLMs through Semantic Dissimilarity

Large Language Models LLMs have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, yet their susceptibility to adversarial attacks, particularly jailbreaking, poses significant safety and ethical concerns. While numerous jailbreak methods exist, many suffer from computational expense, high token usage, or...

VulStamp: Vulnerability Assessment Using Large Language Model

Although modern vulnerability detection tools enable developers to efficiently identify numerous security flaws, indiscriminate remediation efforts often lead to superfluous development expenses. This is particularly true given that a substantial portion of detected vulnerabilities either possess...

SecurityLingua: Efficient Defense of LLM Jailbreak Attacks Via Security-Aware Prompt Compression

Large language models LLMs have achieved widespread adoption across numerous applications. However, many LLMs are vulnerable to malicious attacks even after safety alignment. These attacks typically bypass LLMs' safety guardrails by wrapping the original malicious instructions inside adversarial...

Leaky Thoughts: Large Reasoning Models Are Not Private Thinkers

We study privacy leakage in the reasoning traces of large reasoning models used as personal agents. Unlike final outputs, reasoning traces are often assumed to be internal and safe. We challenge this assumption by showing that reasoning traces frequently contain sensitive user data, which can be...

AIRTBench: Measuring Autonomous AI Red Teaming Capabilities in Language Models

We introduce AIRTBench, an AI red teaming benchmark for evaluating language models' ability to autonomously discover and exploit Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning AI/ML security vulnerabilities. The benchmark consists of 70 realistic black-box capture-the-flag CTF challenges from the...
