Title: Conceal, Reconstruct, Jailbreak: Exploiting the Reconstruction-Concealment Tradeoff in MLLMs
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.05709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Intent-obfuscation-based jailbreak attacks on multimodal large language models (MLLMs) transform a harmful query into a concealed multimodal input to bypass safety mechanisms. We show that such attacks are governed by a \emph{reconstruction--concealment tradeoff}: the transformed input must hide harmful intent from safety filters while remaining recoverable enough for the victim model to reconstruct the original request. Through a reconstruction an
