Defending Large Language Models against Jailbreak Exploits with Responsible AI Considerations

Large Language Models LLMs remain susceptible to jailbreak exploits that bypass safety filters and induce harmful or unethical behavior. This work presents a systematic taxonomy of existing jailbreak defenses across prompt-level, model-level, and training-time interventions, followed by three...

TASO: Jailbreak LLMs Via Alternative Template and Suffix Optimization

Many recent studies showed that LLMs are vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, where an attacker can perturb the input of an LLM to induce it to generate an output for a harmful question. In general, existing jailbreak techniques either optimize a semantic template intended to induce the LLM to produc...

From Reviewers' Lens: Understanding Bug Bounty Report Invalid Reasons with LLMs

Bug bounty platforms e.g., HackerOne, BugCrowd leverage crowd-sourced vulnerability discovery to improve continuous coverage, reduce the cost of discovery, and serve as an integral complement to internal red teams. With the rise of AI-generated bug reports, little work exists to help bug hunters...

Think Fast: Real-Time IoT Intrusion Reasoning Using IDS and LLMs at the Edge Gateway

As the number of connected IoT devices continues to grow, securing these systems against cyber threats remains a major challenge, especially in environments with limited computational and energy resources. This paper presents an edge-centric Intrusion Detection System IDS framework that integrate...

CVE-2025-62426

Summary: CVE-2025-62426 affects vLLM up to versions before 0.11.1. The /v1/chat/completions and /tokenize endpoints accept a chat_template_kwargs parameter that is used before validation, allowing an attacker to block the API server by forcing large tokenization tasks and delaying all other reque...

Steering in the Shadows: Causal Amplification for Activation Space Attacks in Large Language Models

Modern large language models LLMs are typically secured by auditing data, prompts, and refusal policies, while treating the forward pass as an implementation detail. We show that intermediate activations in decoder-only LLMs form a vulnerable attack surface for behavioral control. Building on...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vLLM versions 0.5.5 through 0.11.0 Description vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models LLMs. Users can cause the vLLM engine to crash when serving multimodal models by providing multimodal embedding inputs with a...

Password Strength Analysis through Social Network Data Exposure: A Combined Approach Relying on Data Reconstruction and Generative Models

Although passwords remain the primary defense against unauthorized access, users often tend to use passwords that are easy to remember. This behavior significantly increases security risks, also due to the fact that traditional password strength evaluation methods are often inadequate. In this...

GRAPHTEXTACK: A Realistic Black-Box Node Injection Attack on LLM-Enhanced GNNs

Text-attributed graphs TAGs, which combine structural and textual node information, are ubiquitous across many domains. Recent work integrates Large Language Models LLMs with Graph Neural Networks GNNs to jointly model semantics and structure, resulting in more general and expressive models that...

One Signature, Multiple Payments: Demystifying and Detecting Signature Replay Vulnerabilities in Smart Contracts

Smart contracts have significantly advanced blockchain technology, and digital signatures are crucial for reliable verification of contract authority. Through signature verification, smart contracts can ensure that signers possess the required permissions, thus enhancing security and scalability...

How Can We Effectively Use LLMs for Phishing Detection?: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Large Language Model-Based Phishing Detection Models

Large language models LLMs have emerged as a promising phishing detection mechanism, addressing the limitations of traditional deep learning-based detectors, including poor generalization to previously unseen websites and a lack of interpretability. However, LLMs' effectiveness for phishing...

From LLMs to Agents: A Comparative Evaluation of LLMs and LLM-Based Agents in Security Patch Detection

The widespread adoption of open-source software OSS has accelerated software innovation but also increased security risks due to the rapid propagation of vulnerabilities and silent patch releases. In recent years, large language models LLMs and LLM-based agents have demonstrated remarkable...

KG-DF: A Black-Box Defense Framework against Jailbreak Attacks Based on Knowledge Graphs

With the widespread application of large language models LLMs in various fields, the security challenges they face have become increasingly prominent, especially the issue of jailbreak. These attacks induce the model to generate erroneous or uncontrolled outputs through crafted inputs, threatenin...

Explaining Software Vulnerabilities with Large Language Models

The prevalence of security vulnerabilities has prompted companies to adopt static application security testing SAST tools for vulnerability detection. Nevertheless, these tools frequently exhibit usability limitations, as their generic warning messages do not sufficiently communicate important...

Large Language Models for Cyber Security

This paper studies the integration off Large Language Models into cybersecurity tools and protocols. The main issue discussed in this paper is how traditional rule-based and signature based security systems are not enough to deal with modern AI powered cyber threats. Cybersecurity industry is...

Specification-Guided Vulnerability Detection with Large Language Models

Large language models LLMs have achieved remarkable progress in code understanding tasks. However, they demonstrate limited performance in vulnerability detection and struggle to distinguish vulnerable code from patched code. We argue that LLMs lack understanding of security specifications -- the...
