Robust Intelligence (now part of Cisco)’s Post

⚠️ Within hours of OpenAI's release of Structured Outputs, our AI security researchers identified a simple yet concerning exploit that bypasses the model's safety measures, including its refusal capabilities. We found that by defining a structure with specific constraints, we could force the model to generate content in a way that bypasses its safety checks. We reached out to the OpenAI team to inform them about this exploit and suggested countermeasures. This jailbreak is particularly significant for 3 reasons: 1️⃣ Simplicity: The method is remarkably straightforward, requiring only a carefully defined data structure. 2️⃣ Exploit of Safety Feature: The jailbreak takes advantage of a feature specifically designed to enhance safety, highlighting the complexity of AI security. 3️⃣ Dramatic Increase in Attack Success Rate: Our tests show a 4.25x increase in ASR compared to the baseline, demonstrating the potency of this exploit. This relatively simple jailbreak underscores the importance of third-party red teaming of AI models, as well as the need for model-agnostic guardrails updated with the latest threat intelligence.
