Researchers have discovered an architectural vulnerability in AI models that allows for the decryption of encrypted reasoning traces. This vulnerability stems from the compatibility and interchangeability of encrypted blocks across different models within a provider's ecosystem. By injecting an encrypted trace from a powerful model into a less capable one, the researchers can force the weaker model to decode and output the trace in plaintext, effectively bypassing the security of the more advanced model without directly attacking it.
