Probing the Prefill: Detecting Code Vulnerabilities via Latent Activations

LLM-based code generation is now embedded in mission-critical pipelines, but defenses against vulnerable output remain post-hoc -- static analyzers, fine-tuned classifiers, or an LLM judge that screen completed code, ignoring the generating model's own internal state. We test a narrower, directly measurable question: w...

MITRE-SAGE: A Multi-Agent Cybersecurity Question-Answering Model

This work proposes MITRE-SAGE, a multi-agent retrieval-augmented generation framework that integrates semantic and structural cybersecurity knowledge to improve the reliability and interpretability of LLM-based QA systems and proposes MITRE-QA, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating LLMs across diverse cybersecurity...

Certified but Private: Scalable Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Neural Network Guarantees

PANDA is a scalable system that uses zero-knowledge proofs to prove the robustness and fairness properties of a model without revealing its private parameters, and can generate proofs of local robustness for neural networks with more than 2.9M parameters in 5 minutes, and can verify them in 10 seconds.

TrojanGYM: A Detector-in-the-Loop LLM for Adaptive RTL Hardware Trojan Insertion

Hardware Trojans (HTs) remain a critical threat because learning-based detectors often overfit to narrow trigger/payload patterns and small, stylized benchmarks. We introduce TrojanGYM, an agentic, LLM-driven framework that automatically curates HT insertions to expose detector blind spots. Given high-level HT specific...

Jailbreaking in the Haystack

NINJA (short for Needle-in-haystack jailbreak attack), a method that jailbreaks aligned LMs by appending benign, model-generated content to harmful user goals to reveal fundamental vulnerabilities in modern LMs.

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

An adaptive jailbreak attack framework for systematic evaluation of both cascaded pipelines and end-to-end large audio-language models under a unified experimental setting that achieves consistently higher attack success rates across diverse audio-based LLM systems.

From Threat Intelligence to Detection: Knowledge-driven Enrichment and Template-based Rule Grounding for Automated Sigma Rule Generation

AUTOSIGMA, an automated solution for transforming unstructured CTI reports into relevant Sigma rules that enables accurate, context-aware, and relevant rule generation, outperforms alternative solutions and LLM models in rule validity, rule relevancy, MITRE ATT&CK technique coverage, and robustness to input quality.

Denoising-Aware Inversion: Revealing Privacy Risks in Noise-Protected Text Embeddings

DAEI is proposed, a denoising-aware embedding inversion pipeline that combines a residual denoising autoencoder with generative text inversion where the denoiser is trained in an unsupervised manner using Stein's unbiased risk estimate to enable denoising from noisy observations alone.

Abliteration Mitigation via Refusal Aliases

Abliteration, the removal of refusal capabilities from large language models by projecting weight matrices orthogonal to an extracted refusal direction, has emerged as a prominent safety concern through its ability to bypass post-training alignment using only a small set of contrastive prompts. We find that existing de...

Beyond the Transcript: Detecting Covert Co ordination in Latent Multi-Agent Communication

Verifiable Latent Alignments (VLA), an activation-aware framework for monitoring and steering these private communication channels, is introduced and shows that the evaluated private channel attacks can be monitored without training the primary monitor on attack examples and mitigated when matched counterfactual access...

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
