arXiv:2606.05523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite advances in safety alignment, prompt-rewriting attacks such as persona modulation, fictional framing and persuasion-based reformulation, can bypass safety filters even on frontier models. Existing defenses either rely on non-scalable human curation or white-box optimisation that overfits to specific model internals, leaving aligned models brittle against the very class of adaptive black-box adversaries they will face in deployment. To address this gap, we introduce CHASE (Co-evolutionary Hardening through Adversarial Safety-Escalation), a
The paper addresses the immediate and critical challenge of LLM safety as these models move closer to widespread deployment, with 'prompt-rewriting attacks' highlighting current vulnerabilities.
Improving LLM safety against adaptive adversaries is crucial for public trust, responsible AI development, and preventing misuse, directly impacting the adoption and regulatory landscape of AI.
This research introduces a novel, co-evolutionary adversarial red-blue teaming approach, suggesting a more robust and scalable method for hardening LLMs against sophisticated attacks than current practices.
