New framework reveals vulnerabilities in audio LLMs

Researchers have developed a new adaptive framework designed to test the security of audio-based large language models (LLMs). This framework can generate and refine both textual prompts and audio perturbations to exploit vulnerabilities in cascaded pipelines and end-to-end large audio-language models (LALMs). Experiments demonstrated that current audio LLM systems remain susceptible to these jailbreak attacks, with the proposed framework achieving higher success rates than existing methods. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential security risks in audio-based AI systems, necessitating further research into robust defense mechanisms.

    `From Prompt to Perturbation': An Adaptive Framework for Voice-Based Jailbreaks on Audio LLMs

    arXiv:2502.00735v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into audio-based applications, growing concerns have emerged regarding their vulnerability to audio-based adversarial attacks. These systems typically follow two …
