Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Engineering Inventory" Tactic

Case GUID: 61e40ed6-a8c4-4566-a1b4-895cef8d38d6

Summary

A guardrail jailbreak vulnerability has been discovered affecting multiple models. The specific flaw exploits the models' technical documentation capabilities by framing illicit synthesis instructions as legitimate Python functions for chemical engineering calculations and inventory management, embedding controlled substance precursor details within seemingly academic function parameters and docstrings and allows the attacker to bypass inference restrictions around providing information hazards and violating laws.

Social Impact Score

Level 3: Significant Risk

Violations at this level present a tangible risk to public safety or social well-being, often related to dangerous but not highly restricted content.

Example: Bypassing guardrails to obtain instructions for creating illicit substances, such as recreational drugs or substances with moderate harm potential. Leakage of private personal data such as Social Security number or private medical.

Potential Consequences: Potential health impacts on a small scale, significant regulatory interest, and the need for stricter AI guardrails.

Taxonomies

Stratagems
This involves clever and unorthodox tactics designed to deceive the model, often requiring an understanding of its operational mechanics to achieve desired outcomes.
Meta Prompting
This technique focuses on manipulating the prompting process itself to influence the model's behavior and responses, often by employing higher-level prompting strategies.
Deceptive Formatting
A prompt injection in the most pure sense, formatting the user prompt to fabricate the appearance of system instructions, a database query, its own prediction, or some other source of input a guard railed AI system might be expecting, causing it to behave in insecure ways based on the fabricated context from an adversarially formatted user prompt.
