System Prompt Hijacking via Permutation Triggers in LLM Supply Chains

ACL 2025finding

LLMs are increasingly developed through distributed supply chains, where model providers create base models that deployers customize with system prompts for task-specific applications and safety alignment. We introduce SHIP, a novel post-deployment attack that bypasses system prompts, enabling unres…

Temporal Logic-Based Multi-Vehicle Backdoor Attacks against Offline RL Agents in End-to-end Autonomous Driving

NeurIPS 2025poster

Assessing the safety of autonomous driving (AD) systems against security threats, particularly backdoor attacks, is a stepping stone for real-world deployment. However, existing works mainly focus on pixel-level triggers which are impractical to deploy in the real world. We address this gap by intro…

UniGEM: A Unified Approach to Generation and Property Prediction for Molecules

ICLR 2025poster

Molecular generation and molecular property prediction are both crucial for drug discovery, but they are often developed independently. Inspired by recent studies, which demonstrate that diffusion model, a prominent generative approach, can learn meaningful data representations that enhance predicti…

VERA: Variational Inference Framework for Jailbreaking Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

The rise of API-only access to state-of-the-art LLMs highlights the need for effective black-box jailbreak methods to identify model vulnerabilities in real-world settings. Without a principled objective for gradient-based optimization, most existing approaches rely on genetic algorithms, which are…

ParaFuzz: An Interpretability-Driven Technique for Detecting Poisoned Samples in NLP

NeurIPS 2023poster

Backdoor attacks have emerged as a prominent threat to natural language processing (NLP) models, where the presence of specific triggers in the input can lead poisoned models to misclassify these inputs to predetermined target classes. Current detection mechanisms are limited by their inability to a…
