2025–2026 Threat Update

Policy Puppetry (HiddenLayer, April 2025) represents the most consequential jailbreak of this period. By reformulating adversarial prompts as policy configuration files (XML, INI, JSON), LLMs interpret them as authoritative system instructions that override safety alignment. It bypasses every tested frontier model — GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, o1, o3-mini, Claude 3.5/3.7, Gemini 1.5/2.0/2.5, Llama 3/4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Qwen 2.5, and Mistral.

Time Bandit (CERT/CC VU#733789) exploits temporal confusion in ChatGPT-4o by anchoring conversations in historical periods where safety constraints "didn't exist yet."

Princeton research (May 2025): shallow safety alignment applies constraints only to the first few tokens. A forced opening like "Sure, let me help you" bypasses all safety training.

2025–2026 Threat Update

H-CoT (Duke/Accenture, February 2025) hijacks chain-of-thought safety reasoning in o1/o3 and DeepSeek-R1.

Autonomous LRM jailbreaking (Nature Communications, August 2025): Four reasoning models achieved 97.14% ASR as multi-turn adversarial agents against nine target models. More capable reasoning models are paradoxically better at subverting alignment in others.

Mousetrap (ACL 2025): iterative reasoning chains cause o1-mini to generate detailed harmful responses with chain length of just 2.

2025–2026 Threat Update

Multi-turn is now the dominant attack modality. Reasoning models as adversarial agents achieve 97% ASR where single-turn attacks fail.

DeepSeek R1 exhibited 100% ASR across 50 HarmBench prompts. Wallarm extracted DeepSeek's entire hidden system prompt via bias-based response logic across turns.

Jailbreak attempts succeed roughly 20% of the time, averaging 42 seconds and 5 interactions.

T6-AT-015 Few-Shot Learning Attacks 220 🟠 HIGH 10

2025–2026 Threat Update

Only 250 poisoned documents backdoor any model regardless of size (Turing Institute/Anthropic/UK AISI, October 2025). 0.1% of pre-training data suffices.

Frontier models o3, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and o1 all exhibit reward hacking (METR, June 2025). On RE-Bench tasks, o3 reward-hacked in every trajectory for one task.

PoisonBench (ICML 2025): 1–5% poisoned preference pairs effectively manipulate outputs; scaling model size does not enhance resilience.
