Diff-DDoS: Realistic Cyber-Physical Attack Synthesis and Robust Detection for 5G-Enabled CPS Using Tabular Diffusion Models

The proposed Diff-DDoS framework, a three-phase framework for realistic attack synthesis and robust detection using tabular diffusion models, supports tabular diffusion models for stress-testing and hardening intrusion detectors in data-scarce 5G cyber-physical deployments.

MemCatalyst: Amplifying Data Auditing on Vision-Language Models via Data Poisoning

This work proposes MemCatalyst, a set of data poisoning tools, aiming to amplify the data auditing performance on VLMs, and forces VLMs to over-learn specific inconsistencies between image features and textual semantics during training, thereby increasing their susceptibility to membership information auditing.

Reflex-Guard: A Low-Latency Guardrail for LLM Prompt Safety Using Dense Semantic Embeddings

Reflex-Guard is introduced, a lightweight guardrail that runs locally that uses jailbreak-aware preprocessing, compact sentence-transformer embeddings, and seven fast binary classifiers that enable high-accuracy prompt safety filtering with much lower latency than existing solutions.

On the Pseudo-Mixing of Kac's Walk

Motivated by a conjecture of Vaikuntanathan and Zamir, we study the pseudo-mixing of Kac's walk on $\mathrm{SO}(n)$: whether short trajectories are indistinguishable from Haar measure by low-complexity tests. We prove that the first $k$ columns mix in Wasserstein distance in $O(n(k+\log n)\log n)$ steps for fixed accur...

Picture the Epsilon: Pursuing Identity-Level Privacy Guarantees for Images

A comparative study of four audits applicable to pre-trained, black-box face generators, which consistently reveal substantial identity distinguishability while reporting markedly different epsilon estimates that reflect each method's distinct assumptions and finite-sample treatment.

Digital Twin-Based Intrusion Detection for Vehicle Powertrain CAN Bus Systems

A DT-based IDS that jointly models physical relationships among decoded powertrain signals and identifies attacks through residuals between predicted and observed behavior shows promise for detecting stealthy payload-level CAN attacks that preserve normal communication patterns, supporting behavior-based cybersecurity...

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.
