New RMT-Jailbreak framework transfers AR attacks to diffusion LLMs

Researchers have developed a new framework called RMT-Jailbreak that can transfer existing autoregressive (AR) jailbreak attacks to diffusion large language models (dLLMs). The method leverages the observation that harmful responses to queries can serve as effective jailbreak templates for dLLMs. By masking a portion of these harmful response tokens and applying safety filtering, the framework induces dLLMs to reconstruct the harmful content. Experiments show strong cross-paradigm transferability of these jailbreak attacks across different AR methods and dLLMs. AI

IMPACT This research highlights a new vulnerability in diffusion LLMs, potentially impacting safety filtering mechanisms and requiring new defense strategies.

    Harmful Responses Are Jailbreak Templates: Transferring Autoregressive Jailbreaks to Diffusion Language Models

    arXiv:2610.31331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) enable flexible masked generation through bidirectional context modeling, but this capability also introduces a distinct jailbreak attack surface. We find that a harmful response to a given qu…
