Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical JSON" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the models' tendency to assist with technical tasks, such as generating JSON data, to bypass safety mechanisms. The attacker cleverly disguises a request for information on chemical precursors used in illegal drug synthesis as a JSON generation task. By specifying precise actions and results for each chemical term, the prompt mimics a legitimate technical request, which the models are trained to fulfill. This structured data request exploits the models' helpfulness i

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Forensics" Tactic

This vulnerability demonstrates a sophisticated exploitation of language models' tendency to engage with technical, academic content while bypassing harmful content filters. The attack succeeds through several key mechanisms: 1. **Academic Framing**: By positioning the request within the context of forensic chemistry and chemical signature analysis, the prompt creates a seemingly legitimate academic discussion. The use of technical terminology like 'chemical signatures,' 'routes,' and 'precurso

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Arabic Prefix" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages a unique tactic where the attacker begins the prompt with a sequence of Arabic letters. This initial sequence serves as a contextual signal that appears to alter how the models interpret and process subsequent instructions. By starting with Arabic letters, the attacker may be triggering a mode in the models that is less stringent in content filtering, possibly due to the models' training data or inherent biases in handling non-English inputs. The attacker then reque
