New framework Concept2Scenario finds LLM vulnerabilities, bypasses safeguards

Researchers have developed a new framework called Concept2Scenario to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in large language models (LLMs) that allow harmful requests to bypass safety safeguards. This method uses a concept-based attribution framework to discover specific scenarios that weaken model refusals. The discovered scenarios have shown to improve attack success rates by up to 18.2 percentage points across various open-source models and benchmarks, and also demonstrate effectiveness against advanced models like GPT-5, Claude Haiku 4.5, and Gemini 3 Flash. AI

IMPACT Identifies a method to bypass LLM safety features, potentially impacting the development of more robust AI safety mechanisms.

    Do LLMs Know Their Vulnerable Scenarios?

    Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards. Existing red-teaming methods empirically identify effective scenarios through observed attack outcomes, but why partic…
