New V-DEAL framework diagnoses safety flaws in Video LLMs

A new diagnostic framework called V-DEAL has been developed to identify safety vulnerabilities in Video Large Language Models (LLMs). Researchers found that harmful videos paired with benign queries are more susceptible to attacks than when paired with harmful queries. V-DEAL analyzes model behavior, understanding, and internal representations to pinpoint this issue, revealing that while models accurately recognize harmful content, their refusal tendency is weaker when visual understanding is involved compared to textual understanding. An intervention method using prompt injection was also introduced, significantly reducing attack success rates. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for improving the safety and reliability of Video LLMs, potentially impacting their deployment in sensitive applications.

    V-DEAL: Diagnosing Video Safety De-Calibration as an Understanding-Refusal Coupling Failure

    arXiv:2607.21151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Video Large Language Models are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, ensuring their safety alignment has become critical. Counterintuitively, we find that harmful videos paired with benign queries achieve higher atta…
