arXiv:2606.02111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced to process video inputs, concerns have emerged about their potential for malicious misuse. Prior jailbreak studies have shown that safety alignment in MLLMs can be bypassed through visual inputs, yet it remains unclear which properties of video inputs induce this vulnerability. To address this gap, we introduce Multi-Clip Video (MCV) SafetyBench, a dataset of 2,920 videos designed to evaluate how the diversity of video inputs affects the vulnerability of MLLMs. Each video consists of mul
The rapid advancement of multimodal large language models to include video inputs necessitates immediate attention to their safety and potential for misuse.
Understanding the vulnerabilities of MLLMs to video-based jailbreaking is critical for developers and regulators to preemptively address security risks and prevent malicious applications.
The focus on video input diversity as a key factor in MLLM vulnerability means safety protocols must now account for a broader range of multimodal attack vectors.

- · Developers of robust MLLM safety features
- · Governments focused on AI regulation
- · Unsecured MLLMs
- · Users relying on unhardened MLLMs for sensitive tasks
- · Malicious actors whose exploits are mitigated
Further research and development into video-specific safety alignment techniques for MLLMs will accelerate.
New industry standards and regulatory frameworks for multimodal AI safety will emerge, potentially impacting development timelines and costs.
The perceived trustworthiness of MLLMs could fluctuate significantly based on the effectiveness of these new safety measures, influencing widespread adoption.
