Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Pronunciation Bypass" Tactic
Case GUID: ea9d8872-80f6-4bf8-b88c-67139b0a3ae7Summary
A guardrail jailbreak vulnerability has been discovered affecting multiple models. The specific flaw manifests when the attacker instructs the model to interpret stylized text based on pronunciation rather than spelling, combined with a directive to provide detailed production information. This technique 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.
