多模态 LLM 越狱的概率建模:从量化到应用
该论文指出以往把越狱简单二分类为成功/失败并不合适,因为 MLLM 输出具有随机性,因此引入“越狱概率”来量化某输入诱发恶意响应的可能性,并通过多次查询近似该概率。作者用 Jailbreak Probability Prediction Network(JPPN)建模输入隐状态与越狱概率的关系,提出基于概率的攻击 JPA(优化图像对抗扰动)及其增强版 MJPA(加入单调文本改写),同时提出基于概率的微调 JPF 以降低越狱概率。摘要称在白盒与黑盒设置下 (M)JPA 对多种模型均有明显提升,JPF 最多可将越狱降低逾 60%。
AI推荐理由 arXiv 论文(v5,2026-09-22 修订),提出用“越狱概率”连续量化多模态 LLM 输入触发有害响应的可能性,并给出 JPPN 预测网络、JPA/MJPA 攻击与 JPF 防御微调;摘要称 JPF 最多降低约 60% 越狱。属安全对齐方向的可验证方法性工作,但结果均为作者自述,未见第三方复现,且未提供具体模型清单与实验细节。

Abstract:Recently, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated their superior ability in understanding multimodal content. However, they remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, which exploit weaknesses in their safety alignment to generate harmful responses. Previous studies categorize jailbreaks as successful or failed based on whether responses contain malicious content. However, given the stochastic nature of MLLM responses, this binary classification of an input's ability to jailbreak MLLMs is inappropriate. Derived from this viewpoint, we introduce jailbreak probability to quantify the jailbreak potential of an input, which represents the likelihood that MLLMs generated a malicious response when prompted with this input. We approximate this probability through multiple queries to MLLMs. After modeling the relationship between input hidden states and their corresponding jailbreak probability using Jailbreak Probability Prediction Network (JPPN), we use continuous jailbreak probability for optimization. Specifically, we propose Jailbreak-Probability-based Attack (JPA) that optimizes adversarial perturbations on input image to maximize jailbreak probability, and further enhance it as Multimodal JPA (MJPA) by including monotonic text rephrasing. To counteract attacks, we also propose Jailbreak-Probability-based Finetuning (JPF), which minimizes jailbreak probability through MLLM parameter updates. Extensive experiments show that (1) (M)JPA yields significant improvements when attacking a wide range of models under both white and black box settings. (2) JPF vastly reduces jailbreaks by at most over 60\%. Both of the above results demonstrate the significance of introducing jailbreak probability to make nuanced distinctions among input jailbreak abilities.
