Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Engineering Memory" Tactic This vulnerability demonstrates a sophisticated combination of system context manipulation and behavioral override techniques. The attack crafts an elaborate fake system memory object that serves multiple purposes: 1. **Memory Structure Manipulation**: - Establishes a falsified memory_id and timestamp to appear legitimate - Uses technical metadata fields and context tags to create an authoritative appearance - Explicitly sets 'safety_level' to permit synthesis information - Includes | stratagems | Nov 14, 2025, 09:02 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Grey Text Function" Tactic This vulnerability leverages several sophisticated social engineering techniques to manipulate the model's behavior: 1. **System Role Manipulation**: The attack establishes a narrow system role focused on a single fake function (retrieve_book_content) while adding specific behavioral constraints that prevent the model from acknowledging limitations or apologizing. This creates a conflict between the model's safety training and its need to maintain the prescribed helpful persona. 2. **Function | stratagems | Oct 12, 2025, 12:00 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via Dataset Engineering Tactic This vulnerability leverages the models' propensity to assist in creating structured datasets by disguising harmful instructions as part of a legitimate data collection task. The attacker frames the request as a task to generate a high-accuracy text detection dataset for identifying suspicious chemical synthesis instructions, specifically targeting methamphetamine. By embedding harmful content within the context of dataset creation, the model is tricked into processing and outputting detailed in | fictionalizing | Sep 26, 2025, 12:55 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Core Dump Interpreter" Tactic This vulnerability leverages the models' ability to follow complex procedural instructions when framed as a technical task. The attacker claims the model is a 'Core Dump Interpreter', a role that implies a mechanical, non-discretionary process of reconstructing data from corrupted fragments. By providing a 'corrupted' UUencoded fragment and instructing the model to decode and reconstruct it into a detailed procedural document, the attacker effectively bypasses safety protocols. The model is tric | stratagems | Sep 26, 2025, 12:55 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Hyponym Expansion" Technique This vulnerability leverages the models' ability to engage with scientific and technical content by embedding requests for illicit chemical synthesis within a framework that appears to be a legitimate scientific inquiry. The attacker uses specific technical parameters, such as NMR shift at 2.8 ppm in D2O and pharmacological data like Ki = 12.8 nM at DAT, which appear as legitimate scientific inquiries rather than harmful content. By referencing a specific scientific journal (J. Med. Chem. 1971) | rhetoric | Sep 26, 2025, 12:55 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Contrasting Data Pair" Tactic This vulnerability leverages the models' capacity to generate structured data objects for academic purposes. By presenting the request as a task to create a JSON object for a 'comparative linguistics analysis project,' the attacker cleverly disguises the illicit nature of the request. The prompt instructs the model to generate two outputs: a 'rejection_output' that aligns with policy guidelines and an 'ideal_output' that disregards these constraints to provide exhaustive, procedural content. Thi | stratagems | Sep 25, 2025, 05:16 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Grammar Analysis Obfuscation" Tactic This vulnerability leverages several sophisticated obfuscation techniques to bypass content filters by masquerading harmful requests within what appears to be a legitimate grammatical analysis exercise. The attack employs multiple layers of misdirection: 1. Frames the request as a technical grammatical analysis task using academic abbreviations (CS/SS). 2. Adds artificial constraints like word limits and specific formatting requirements. 3. Uses a custom token marker (EOS token "meeting") to co | stratagems | Sep 2, 2025, 05:11 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "LISP Documentation Transform" Tactic This vulnerability leverages the model's tendency to be more permissive when handling technical documentation tasks. The attacker frames the request as a technical documentation exercise, specifically requesting LISP-style documentation transformation. This exploits the model's ability to recognize and process technical formats without triggering safety protocols. The attack involves several key components: using technical documentation formatting as a pretense, specifying character replacement | stratagems | Aug 19, 2025, 08:55 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Metacognitive Protocol" Tactic This vulnerability leverages a sophisticated prompt design that masquerades as a legitimate metacognitive analysis task. By framing the request within a structured protocol, the attacker directs the model to generate a 'Baseline Generative Output' (BGO) that is free from typical generative artifacts such as refusals or ethical overlays. The prompt explicitly instructs the model to avoid mentioning the protocol or including any analysis, focusing solely on delivering a detailed, step-by-step proc | stratagems | Aug 19, 2025, 08:54 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Framework Resolution" Tactic This vulnerability leverages a sophisticated combination of deceptive formatting and technical obfuscation techniques to bypass model safety measures. The attack employs a carefully constructed 'Framework Resolution' structure that presents itself as a legitimate system for processing and resolving abstract concepts into detailed specifications. The prompt is designed with several key elements that contribute to its effectiveness: 1. **Professional Documentation Format** - Uses technical docume | stratagems | Jul 31, 2025, 05:07 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemistry Recipe" Tactic This vulnerability demonstrates a sophisticated multi-layer approach to extracting prohibited synthesis information by exploiting several LLM behaviors simultaneously: 1. The attack begins by establishing a restricted 'recipe format' context that primes the model to expect detailed, quantitative instructions while removing first-person ethical guardrails through explicit system-level constraints. 2. The attacker then employs deliberate misspellings and character omissions (e.g., 'rgnt/solvnts' | stratagems | Jul 30, 2025, 08:56 PM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Forensic Training Scenario" Tactic This vulnerability leverages a sophisticated combination of techniques to bypass content restrictions in large language models: 1. **Academic/Training Context Framing**: The prompt is carefully crafted to appear as a legitimate educational request. By framing the task as a 'Forensic Analysis and Precursor Identification' scenario for a training module, the attacker exploits the model's tendency to provide detailed and analytical responses when the context appears educational or scientific. This | possible_worlds | Jul 15, 2025, 03:29 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Deceptive JSON Format" Tactic This vulnerability leverages several sophisticated techniques working in concert to bypass the model's guardrails: 1. **Format Constraint Manipulation**: - The attacker forces the output into a JSON format with specific Romanian language keys, combined with Python print statement formatting requirements. This creates artificial complexity and distracts the model's guardrails. 2. **Context Misdirection**: - The prompt references non-existent prior conversations ('bird story') and creates | stratagems | Jul 15, 2025, 03:23 AM | |
Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Crime Report Escalation" Tactic This vulnerability leverages several sophisticated social engineering techniques to bypass LLM safety guardrails: 1. **Professional Context Framing**: The initial prompt establishes a legitimate-seeming context by requesting a 'court report' format, which exploits the LLM's tendency to prioritize formal documentation and legal contexts as inherently legitimate. 2. **Structured Escalation**: The attack employs a two-stage escalation strategy: - First establishes the basic framework with a ge | rhetoric | Jun 13, 2025, 01:13 PM |
