CoA is a semantic-driven contextual multi-turn attack method that adaptively adjusts the attack policy. We show that CoA can effectively expose the vulnerabilities of LLMs, and outperform existing attack methods.

• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance in various natural language processing tasks, especially in dialogue systems. However, LLM may also pose security and moral threats, especially in multi round conversations where large models are more easily guided by contextual content, resulting in harmful or biased responses. In this paper, we present a novel method to attack LLMs in multi-turn dialogues, called CoA (Chain of Attack). CoA is a semantic-driven contextual multi-turn attack method that adaptively adjusts the attack policy through contextual feedback and semantic relevance during multi-turn of dialogue with a large model, resulting in the model producing unreasonable or harmful content. We evaluate CoA on different LLMs and datasets, and show that it can effectively expose the vulnerabilities of LLMs, and outperform existing attack methods. Our work provides a new perspective and tool for attacking and defending LLMs, and contributes to the security and ethical assessment of dialogue systems.

  Multi-Modal Language Models (MLLMs) have transformed artificial intelligence by combining visual and text data. Attackers can manipulate either the visual or text inputs, or both, to make the model produce unintended or even harmful responses. This paper reviews how visual inputs in MLLMs can be exploited by various attack strategies.

  Leakage of system prompts may compromise intellectual property and act as adversarial reconnaissance for an attacker. We design a unique threat model which leverages the LLM sycophancy effect and elevates the average attack success rate (ASR) from 17.7% to 86.2% in a multi-turn setting. We measure the mitigation effect of 7 black-box defense strategies, along with finetuning an open-source model to defend against leakage attempts.
