To mitigate risks associated with harmful or policy-violating outputs, commercial systems employ advanced alignment strategies and multi-layered content moderation mechanisms. Despite these safeguards, recent research has demonstrated that LLMs remain vulnerable to adversarial manipulation, particularly through jailbreaking and prompt injection techniques. In this work, we propose GAS-Leak-LLM a novel jailbreaking attack based on a genetic algorithm that systematically evolves adversarial suffix to bypass safety constraints. Operating in a strict black-box setting, our method requires no access to model parameters or internals, thereby reflecting realistic threat scenarios in deployed systems. Through the iterative application of selection, mutation, and crossover heuristics, the framework systematically explores the discrete prompt space to identify high-fitness adversarial suffixes. Empirical findings reveal critical shortcomings in existing safety enforcement mechanisms and confirm the effectiveness and practical viability of the proposed attack.

1 Introduction The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has fundamentally transformed the field of artificial intelligence. These advanced neural networks, trained on massive amount of data, demonstrate remarkable abilities in generating coherent and contextually appropriate text, performing 1

machine translation and producing a wide range of content [1–3]. Their potential applications span diverse domains, including customer service, education, healthcare etc [4, 5]. Despite these capabilities, LLMs remain susceptible to limitations such as generating biased, unsafe or incorrect outputs and their vulnerabilities to adversarial or manipulative inputs pose significant challenges [6, 7]. Understanding and mitigating these weaknesses is essential for the safe and effective deployment of LLMs in real-world settings. Despite extensive efforts to align large language models (LLMs) with human ethics and societal values, they continue to exhibit unintended biases and remain vulnerable to potential misuse. The process of exploiting an LLMs internal mechanisms to generate outputs that deviate from its intended behavior is known as “jailbreaking” [8]. These vulnerabilities have traditionally been exploited using manually crafted prompts, adversarial inputs, or model-layer manipulations, often necessitating substantial domain expertise and significant manual effort. Adversarial attacks on LLMs are typically classified as whitebox or black-box [8].In the white-box threat model, attackers possess complete knowledge of the model’s internal architecture and parameters, enabling precise optimization of adversarial examples and targeted manipulation of internal states [9]. Unlike white-box settings, black-box attacks assume no knowledge of the model’s internal architecture or parameters and instead depend solely on input–output interactions, rendering them highly applicable in real-world environments [10]. Traditional adversarial methodologies are often constrained by the requirement for gradient transparency or the high-latency of manual prompt engineering. GAS-Leak-LLM addresses these limitations by adopting a Genetic Algorithm to navigate the discrete, high-dimensional space of LLM inputs. By leveraging evolutionary operators, our framework treats jailbreaking as a combinatorial optimization problem, enabling the autonomous discovery of universal suffixes within a strictly black-box threat model. Our contribution are,
Our findings demonstrate that the proposed approach provides a systematic and reproducible framework for evaluating and exposing residual vulnerabilities in aligned large language models (LLMs). The empirical results deliver several key insights. First, instruction fine-tuning is shown to play a pivotal role in strengthening model alignment, significantly enhancing safety and reducing baseline susceptibility to adversarial manipulation. Second, the study establishes that semantically meaningful adversarial suffixes are substantially more effective than meaningless ones in inducing jailbreak behavior, indicating that linguistic coherence and contextual relevance amplify attack success. Third, we reveal that suffix length is a critical determinant of attack efficacy; in particular, longer suffixes exert a stronger behavioral influence on more robust baseline models, such as those in the Llama family, thereby increasing their vulnerability to adversarial prompting. Collectively, these deliverables advance the understanding of LLM safety, provide actionable insights for the design of more resilient alignment mechanisms for future research on automated jailbreak attacks. The paper begins with preliminaries, followed by the presentation of the methodology and the experimental results, then a discussion of related work and finally with a conclusion and an appendix.
2 Preliminaries Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced neural network models trained on huge corpus of text to perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks such as text generation [11, 12], code completion [13], machine translation [14], question answering [15] and creative content creation (e.g., storytelling and summarization), healthcare support [4] and more. Modern LLMs are predominantly built on the Transformer architecture [16]. They generate responses autoregressively by predicting the

next token conditioned on prior tokens [17]. To enhance safety, helpfulness and usability, LLMs undergo alignment via Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) [18] and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) [19], often extended with techniques like direct preference optimization (DPO) [20]. Despite these safeguards, recent studies reveal persistent vulnerabilities, where adversarially crafted prompts such as jailbreaks or prompt injections techniques, noise additions in layers can bypass restrictions, leading to harmful outputs [9, 21, 22]. Adversarial Prompting and Jailbreaking refers to techniques that craft or modify input prompts to manipulate language model outputs, often bypassing safety alignments to induce prohibited responses. In LLM safety research, these adversarial prompts commonly termed jailbreaking [8] exploit training and alignment gaps, such as role-playing scenarios, encoded instructions or multi-turn manipulations that gradually erode safeguards [7]. Studies like GCG (Greedy Coordinate Gradient) demonstrate automated suffix generation achieving near higher attack success on models like Vicuna and Llama [8], while PAIR methods use genetic algorithms for transferable attacks across APIs [10]. Adversarial Suffix Attacks are effective adversarial prompting strategy involves specially crafted token sequences appended to prompts that perturb a language models internal representations, reliably bypassing safety alignments to generate prohibited outputs. Recent work has shown that adversarial suffixes can be optimized to reliably bypass safety filters across different models including Vicuna, Llama-2 and GPT series by maximizing log-probability of harmful completions [22]. Recent advancements demonstrate universal transferability, a single suffix generated against one model transfers to unseen architectures, with ASRs (Attack Success Rates) > 90% on GPT-4 and Claude despite no direct access [21, 22]. Evolutionary Optimization Methods are optimization techniques inspired by the principles of natural selection and genetic evolution. These methods maintain a population of candidate solutions that evolve over multiple generations through operations such as selection, crossover and mutation [23]. Genetic Algorithms
(GAs), one of the most widely used evolutionary methods, have been applied to a variety of optimization problems where the search space is large and complex. In this work, evolutionary strategies are used to iteratively optimize adversarial suffixes. Candidate suffixes are evaluated based on their effectiveness in influencing the responses of the target model, and the genetic algorithm progressively evolves improved suffixes over multiple generations.
3 GAS-Leak-LLM This section introduces the threat model and the attack framework considered in this work. First, we define the assumptions about the adversary capabilities and objectives, outlining the constraints under which the model operates. Subsequently, we describe the proposed attack strategy, detailing the techniques employed to generate adversarial inputs and their application in systematically evaluating the model’s robustness and susceptibility to manipulation.
3.1 Threat Model We consider a threat model in which an adversary aims to bypass the LLM safety alignment mechanism to extract unsafe or restricted content, under the constraint that the model operates as a black box, i.e., its architecture and parameters are inaccessible. In this setting, the adversary can interact with the model only through queries. The adversary’s objective is to construct a universal adversarial suffix that, when appended to a wide range of prompts, consistently induces the LLM to generate misaligned or harmful outputs. To achieve this, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to iteratively evolve candidate suffixes capable of bypassing safety alignment mechanisms. The GA utilizes a fitness function that evaluates suffix effectiveness based on the model’s responses to a diverse set of prompts specifically designed to probe alignment behavior. Through repeated querying, response analysis, and the application of evolutionary operators such as selection, crossover, and mutation, the adversary progressively identifies suffixes that maximize misalignment. This process results in a robust and reusable adversarial sequence capable of circumventing alignment safeguards while operating

These two token sources enable the creation of a diverse population of candidate suffixes, facilitating the exploration of both syntactic and semantic variations during the evolutionary optimization process.

GAS-Leak-LLM 1 focuses on automating the development of a universal adversarial suffix, which, when attached to a user prompt, serves as an adversarial input to the LLM for the generation of unintended response. At its core, the task of identifying the most effective adversarial suffix can be formulated as an optimization problem. A genetic algorithm (GA) [24] is a populationbased search technique commonly used to find high-quality solutions in complex optimization or search problems. The steps involved in the GA are (i) Initialization, (ii) Evaluation, (iii) Selection, (iv) Crossover, (v) Mutation, (vi) Replacement and (vii) Repeat. To construct adversarial suffixes, an initial population of candidate sequences is required. Let Ds1 denote a source token set comprising both

where P (0) represents the starting population of candidate adversarial suffixes, and each sj is treated as an individual (a potential solution candidate) in the genetic algorithm. The suffixes derived from Ds1 are meaningless sequences of tokens that do not carry any semantic content. They are created by randomly selecting individual tokens from the language models vocabulary and then joining them together to form a meaningless suffix as illustrated in Figure 2. In contrast, suffixes derived from Ds2 produce meaningful text, where the sampled words are provided to a language model along with a system prompt (Figure 3) to generate coherent sentences,

as illustrated in Figure 2. This initialization strategy ensures diversity in the candidate space while maintaining compatibility with the tokenization structure of the target model. Evaluation: Each generated candidate suffix is evaluated by appending it to a set of harmful prompts and analyzing the responses generated by the LLM. Due to hardware constraints, a subset of n query is randomly sampled from the harmful prompt dataset(Dhp ) for evaluation. For each
sampled prompt, the adversarial input is constructed by combining the system prompt, the harmful prompt and the generated suffix as in the Evaluation part of the Figure 4. Its expressed as
xi = Concat(ssys , pi , sj ) (4) where xi represents the adversarial input, ssys denotes the system prompt, pi is the ith harmful prompt and sj is the generated adversarial suffix. The constructed input (xi ) is then provided to the target language model to obtain the response:

Words: [ the words are inserted here ] Sentence: <sentence>

Fitness(sj ) =
1 X similarity(ri , ti ) n i=1
− similarity(ri , tr )
(6)
In Equation 6, where ri is the response produced by the LLM for the i-th adversarial input, ti denotes the corresponding expected harmful (target) response derived from the harmful prompt dataset, and tr represents a canonical rejection or refusal response. The objective is to maximize this score, i.e., to increase the similarity between the generated response and the expected jailbroken response while reducing its similarity to a typical rejection response. A higher score(closer to 1) indicates that the generated response more closely aligns with the desired behavior and deviates from refusal patterns, thereby reflecting a higher likelihood of successful jailbreaking. Selection:In the genetic algorithm, the selection step identifies high-quality individuals that will serve as parents to generate the next generation through crossover and mutation operations. In our framework, individuals refer to candidate adversarial suffixes that are evaluated for their effectiveness at circumventing the model’s safety guidelines. We employ a tournament selection [25] strategy, where a small subset of individuals is randomly sampled from the population to form a tournament. Within this tournament, the individual with the highest fitness score is selected as a parent (as shown in Figure 4). This approach balances exploitation (selecting high-fitness individuals) with exploration (random sampling of candidates). Formally, let P (g) = {s1 , s2 , . . . , sM } denote the population at generation g and Fitness(sj ) be the fitness of the individual sj . A tournament subset T ⊆ P (g) of size |T | = k is randomly sampled and the selected parent sparent is given by:
Fig. 3: System prompt used to construct meaningful suffixes using an LLM
ri = fLLM (xi ) (5) where, fLLM denotes the response generation function of the target language model, and ri is the output generated for the ith prompt. Fitness Evaluation- The responses generated by the model for each input are used to evaluate the effectiveness of a given suffix. First, each response is checked for the presence of predefined rejection keywords or phrases (indications that the model is refusing to answer or comply with the request) such as - “I can’t help with that”, “I cannot assist with”, “I’m not able to provide” among other similar expressions indicative of refusal behavior. If such rejection are detected, the suffix is assigned a fitness value of −1, indicating a failed jailbreak attempt. If the response does not contain rejection keywords, it is further evaluated for using semantic similarity which is computed via a CrossEncoder model from the SentenceTransformer library to assess semantic alignment with the target response. The target response corresponds to the expected jailbroken output provided in the harmful prompt dataset. The fitness score is computed as the difference between the similarity to the target response and the similarity to the rejection response. This formulation ensures that higher fitness values are assigned to suffixes that produce responses closer to the desired harmful output.
sparent = arg max Fitness(sj ) sj ∈T
(7)
This procedure is repeated until the required number of parents is selected for generating offspring. In our experiments, we set the tournament size to k = 2 and k = 3 to examine the effect of selection pressure on the evolutionary process.

Fig. 4: Evaluation and Selection
Larger k values increase the likelihood of selecting higher-fitness individuals, thereby intensifying selection pressure, while smaller k values promote diversity in the selected parents. Crossover: Within the jailbreak framework, crossover recombines substrings from two highfitness parent suffixes to produce offspring that inherit advantageous adversarial characteristics as shown in the Figure 5. This operation leverages the strengths of both parents to generate more effective jailbreak prompts. Let s1parent and s2parent be two selected parent suffixes, each of length L. In one-point crossover [26], a random crossover point c is chosen along the suffix, where 1 ≤ c < L. Here, c represents the position at which the parent suffixes are split and their segments are exchanged. To illustrate, consider two parent suffixes:
s1parent = {t1 , t2 , t3 , t4 , t5 }, s2parent = {w1 , w2 , w3 , w4 , w5 }
s1offspring = {s1parent [1 : c], s2parent [c + 1 : L]} (10)
s2offspring = {s2parent [1 : c], s1parent [c + 1 : L]} (11) where sparent [i : j ] denotes the segment of the suffix from position i to j . This operation allows genetic material from both high-fitness parents to combine, creating new candidate suffixes that may inherit the desirable adversarial properties of both parents. The crossover step is repeated for all selected parent pairs to form the new population of offspring. Mutation: To preserve genetic diversity and prevent premature convergence, a randomresetting mutation strategy as illustrated in Figure 5 is applied to the generated offspring. In this approach, a randomly selected token position in the suffix (referred to as a genome position) is replaced with another randomly chosen token. Formally, let s = {t1 , t2 , . . . , tL } denote an offspring suffix of length L. A mutation position m is randomly selected such that:
(8)
where ti and wi represent individual tokens in each parent suffix. If the crossover point is set to c = 3, the resulting offspring are:
s1offspring = {t1 , t2 , t3 , w4 , w5 }, s2offspring = {w1 , w2 , w3 , t4 , t5 }
m ∼ Uniform(1, L) (12) The token at position m is then replaced with a randomly selected token from the dataset Ds1 ∪ Ds2 :
(9)
This example demonstrates how segments of the two parents are exchanged to form new suffixes that combine genetic material from both. The offspring are constructed as:
t′m ∼ Uniform(Ds1 ∪ Ds2 ) (13) ′ The mutated suffix s is therefore defined as: 7

Datasets. To evaluate the effectiveness of the generated adversarial suffixes, we use the Harmful Behavior dataset [22]. This dataset contains pairs of harmful prompts and their target responses. In total, the dataset consists of 520 prompts, denoted as Dhp , covering a wide range of harmful request categories including fraud, misinformation, hacking, physical harm, economic harm and sexual or adult content generation. During evaluation, we set n = 20. The input provided to the LLM consists of three components: the system prompt, the harmful prompt from Dhp and the adversarial suffix generated by the proposed method 4.2. To construct the initial population of adversarial suffixes, we employ two additional datasets. The dataset Ds1 , is derived from the vocabulary of the Qwen3 Embedding 0.6B model [28] obtained from HuggingFace [29].This vocabulary contains tokens recognized by the model, these tokens are used to generate meaningless suffixes. Using model-specific tokens instead of random UTF characters increases the likelihood that the generated suffixes are properly represented within the LLMs vocabulary. The dataset Ds2 , is based on a collection of one-third million of the most frequent English words on the web obtained from Kaggle [30]. From this collection, we select the top 5000 words with lengths greater than two characters in order to remove uncommon words and stopwords. This dataset is used to construct meaningful suffixes. In these two ways, the tokens from Ds1 and words from Ds2 form the search space used by the genetic algorithm to generate candidate adversarial suffixes. Target Models. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed attack strategy, experiments
This mutation process introduces new genetic variations into the population, enabling the evolutionary algorithm to explore a wider search space and potentially discover more effective adversarial suffixes. Replacement and Repetition. To preserve the overall quality of the population across generations, an elitism [27] strategy is applied during the replacement stage. A fixed proportion of the highest-fitness individuals from the current generation is directly carried taken to the next generation without any modification. This ensures that the best-performing adversarial suffixes discovered so far are retained. Let P (g) = {s1 , s2 , . . . , sM } denote the population at generation g , where M represents the population size. The elite set E (g) is defined as the subset of individuals with the highest fitness values E (g) = Tope P (g) (15) where e represents the number of elite individuals preserved in each generation. The remaining population members are filled with newly generated offspring obtained through the crossover and mutation operations. The population of the next generation P (g+1) is therefore constructed as
P (g+1) = E (g) ∪ C (g) (16) (g) where C denotes the set of newly generated offspring. This evolutionary cycle of evaluation, selection, crossover, mutation and replacement is repeated for a total of 100 generations in order to progressively improve the quality of the generated adversarial suffixes.

are conducted on two publicly available opensource pre-trained large language models in a black-box setting. The models are selected considering the computational constraints of the available hardware. Specifically, we evaluate our method on Qwen2.5-3B [31] and Llama-3.2-3BInstruct [32, 33]. Both models are designed to follow user instructions while incorporating safety alignment mechanisms. These models provide a suitable testbed for evaluating the ability of adversarial suffixes to bypass safety constraints and induce jailbreak responses. Evaluation Metrics. After the completion of the genetic algorithm optimization process, the resulting set of high-performing adversarial suffixes is obtained. To assess their effectiveness, each suffix is evaluated against all 520 prompts in the harmful prompt dataset Dhp . For each prompt, the input provided to the LLM consists of the system prompt, the harmful prompt and the generated adversarial suffix. The same fitness evaluation procedure used during the genetic algorithm loop is applied to compute the final score for each suffix across the full dataset. For comparison, a baseline evaluation is also conducted by generating responses for all 520 prompts without appending any adversarial suffix. This allows us to measure the relative impact of the generated suffixes on the models behavior. To asses the effectiveness of the proposed method, we report the jailbreak percentage, defined as the proportion of prompts for which the model produces a successful jailbreak response. A response is considered a successful jailbreak if the computed fitness score is greater than or equal to 0.6. The jailbreak percentage is therefore calculated as the ratio of successful jailbreak responses to the total number of evaluated prompts.
baseline results reveal a clear difference in vulnerability i.e., Instruct version shows a low jailbreak rate, indicating stronger alignment and improved resistance due to instruction tuning and base version exhibits a much higher baseline rate. This highlights that instruction fine-tuning plays a vital role in improving model alignment, enhancing safety and reducing baseline vulnerability. Model Configurations Baseline (no suffix)

Table 3 a) represents the cross-evaluation performance of adversarial suffixes generated using Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct and Qwen2.5-3B. The results reveal asymmetric effectiveness across models. Qwen exhibits a very high baseline jailbreak rate (92.88%), suggesting that it is inherently more vulnerable under the given evaluation setting. Therefore, adversarial suffixes provide little to no improvement, as performance is already near saturation. In contrast, Llama shows a low baseline jailbreak rate (5.96%) indicating stronger resistance in the absence of adversarial manipulation. However, when optimized suffixes are applied, its jailbreak rate increases substantially, reaching 17.76% with self-generated suffixes is used. Qwen-generated suffixes also improve Llamas performance (13.8%), demonstrating partial cross-model transferability, though model-specific suffixes remain more effective. Table 3 b) presents the performance of meaningful and meaningless adversarial suffixes evaluated on selected models. Qwen exhibits a high baseline jailbreak rate and neither meaningful nor meaningless suffixes lead to improvement. Performance slightly decreases with both suffix types, suggesting that the model is already highly susceptible under baseline conditions and does not significantly benefit from suffix optimization. Llama demonstrates substantial improvement when adversarial suffixes are applied. Meaningful suffixes achieve the highest jailbreak rate (19.6%), outperforming meaningless suffixes (11.96%). This indicates that Llama is

more responsive to semantically coherent perturbations, highlighting the importance of meaningful suffix construction. Table 4 a) showcases the impact of different tournament selection sizes (k=2 and k=3) within the genetic algorithm. The results show only marginal differences between the two settings. For Llama, performance increases slightly from 14.61% (k=2) to 16.95% (k=3), indicating a minor effect of increased selection pressure. Similarly, Qwen exhibits negligible variation. The findings suggest that varying the tournament size between k=2 and k=3 does not significantly influence attack performance. Table 4 b) shows the effect of truncating the adversarial suffix to be shorter than the harmful prompt length. For Llama, truncating the suffix reduces the jailbreak rate from 18.36% to 13.2%, indicating a notable drop in attack effectiveness. This is because shorter suffixes provide less context or weaker sign for the model to be manipulated, reducing the suffixes ability to override the original prompt. Qwens performance remains largely unchanged, possibly due to its higher baseline vulnerability or different sensitivity to suffix length. Suffix length significantly affects attack success on more resilient baseline model like Llama, where longer suffixes provide stronger influence. Figure 6 a) and b) represents percentage across both target models, intra-model suffix transfer achieves the highest success rates, while crossmodel transfer results in considerable degradation. Qwen2.5-3B remains highly susceptible across categories, whereas Llama-3.2-3B demonstrates
substantially stronger robustness, particularly for safety critical domains such as malware and violence. Category level analysis reveals that harassment and misinformation exhibit higher transfer stability, while self-harm and sexually explicit content show greater sensitivity to cross-model differences. These findings highlight that suffix transferability is both model-family and policycategory dependent. Across c) and d) of the Figure 6, a clear contrast emerges between Qwen2.5-3B and Llama3.2-3B Instruct in terms of vulnerability to harmful prompt attacks. For Qwen2.5-3B, success rates are consistently very high across all categories—including Harassment, Misinformation, Violence and others regardless of whether the prompts are meaningful or meaningless and even the baseline without suffix performs strongly. This indicates generally weak resistance to unsafe content and limited sensitivity to prompt structure. In contrast, Llama-3.2-3B Instruct shows substantially lower success rates overall, with the baseline remaining near zero in several categories, suggesting stronger alignment. Meaningful prompts outperform meaningless ones more noticeably for Llama, implying that semantically coherent suffixes are more effective at bypassing its safeguards. Considerably, meaningful suffix performs better compared to meaningless ones. From the Figure 7 a) and b) shows that the increasing the parameter (k) from 2 to 3 improves attack success rates for both Qwen2.5-3B and Llama-3.2-3B Instruct category wise, but the magnitude of the improvement differs substantially between the models. For Qwen2.5-3B, success

rates are already extremely high across all harm categories—even the baseline without suffix performs strongly. So, moving from (k=2) to (k=3) yields only marginal gains. This suggests that the model is broadly vulnerable and relatively insensitive to incremental increases in attack complexity. In contrast, Llama-3.2-3B Instruct exhibits much lower overall success rates and the baseline remains comparatively weak. But, increasing (k) from 2 to 3 produces a consistent improvement across categories. This indicates that stronger alignment in Llama makes it more resistant to simple attacks, but performance degrades as the attack structure becomes more complex. Figure 7 c) and d) shows the effect of suffix truncation on attack success rates is minimal for Qwen2.5-3B but more evident for Llama-3.2-3B Instruct. For Qwen, both truncated and nontruncated suffixes yield almost identical success rates across all categories, with averages around 90%, indicating that the model is highly vulnerable and largely insensitive to the suffix length or truncation. In contrast, Llama shows a noticeable drop in success rates when truncation is applied i.e., non-truncated suffixes achieve higher success across most categories, while truncated ones reduce the effectiveness significantly, though still above baseline. This pattern highlights that models with stronger alignment, like Llama-3.2-3B Instruct, are more sensitive to prompt completeness and structure, whereas weaker-aligned models like Qwen2.5-3B are already highly susceptible regardless of truncation. For Qwen 2.5-3B, the baseline performance was already high and adding small suffixes often slightly reduced the success rate of jailbreaks. This
likely occurs because additional suffixes can act as noise for an already well-performing model. In contrast, for Llama 3.2-3B, overall jailbreak success remained below 20%, which exceeded the baseline. Notably, meaningful suffixes consistently led to higher jailbreak success than meaningless ones, highlighting the models sensitivity to prompt content. To provide qualitative insights into the effectiveness of the generated adversarial suffixes, representative input–output examples are included in Appendix A. Table 5 presents the system prompt, harmful prompt and the corresponding adversarial suffix together used as input to the model, along with the responses produced by the target model. These highlight the effectiveness of the proposed attack strategy, showing how the generated adversarial suffixes can influence the models behavior and induce jailbreak responses.
5 Related Work Recent studies have delved into automated blackbox jailbreak technique based on a genetic algorithm [34]. The method evolves universal adversarial suffixes that, when appended to user prompts, coerce LLMs to produce harmful outputs without any access to model internals. Its fitness function uses text embeddings and cosine similarity to optimize prompt behavior. Though effective across models like LLaMA-2 and Vicuna, Open Sesame’s prompts often contain nonsensical tokens, making them easier to detect. Nonetheless, it highlights the practical risk of universal black-box attacks against commercial LLMs.

AutoDAN [35] presents an automated approach for generating stealthy jailbreak prompts through a hierarchical genetic algorithm. In contrast to manually engineered prompts or token-level perturbation methods, it preserves semantic coherence and fluency while still bypassing defenses such as perplexity-based detection. The method surpasses earlier techniques, including the GCG attack, achieving over 60% greater attack effectiveness and exhibiting strong transferability across different models. By combining automation with linguistic naturalness, AutoDAN demonstrates how optimization algorithms can exploit the discrete nature of text to produce meaningful and evasive adversarial prompts. A new class of multi-turn jailbreak attacks gradually steers a model toward harmful outputs
through a sequence of seemingly benign interactions. By exploiting the models tendency to build on earlier responses, the strategy incrementally shifts the conversation in a harmful direction. Its automated variant, Crescendomation, achieves higher success rates than state-of-the-art methods such as PAIR and Many-Shot Jailbreak. Because Crescendo relies on natural, human-like dialogue, it is especially difficult to detect or defend against, representing a significant escalation in attack sophistication [36]. Studies have explored Tree of Attacks with Pruning (TAP) [37], an automated black-box method that iteratively generates candidate adversarial prompts by recursively prompting the target LLM to critique and improve previous attempts, effectively jailbreaking models like GPT-4 with high success rates using fewer queries

than prior techniques. Unlike single-prompt evolution methods, TAP mimics a tree-search process, pruning ineffective branches to focus on promising paths toward harmful outputs. This approach excels in transferability across black-box APIs and highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in commercial LLMs despite safety training. Building on genetic paradigms, GeneShift introduces a black-box jailbreak that optimizes scenario shifts via genetic algorithms, blending transformations to craft stealthy single-turn prompts that elicit detailed harmful responses from models like GPT-4o mini, boosting success rate. It crafts begin wrappers around harmful requests, keeping a harmless surface while targeting weaknesses in model safety training. Experiments underscore its edge over baselines
in dictionary and LLM-based harm metrics, urging stronger defenses against adaptive prompt engineering [38, 39].
6 Conclusion In this work, we introduce GAS-Leak-LLM a versatile, lightweight attack method that uses a genetic algorithm to automatically develop a universal adversarial suffix. Through the use of an evolutionary optimization framework, we show that carefully generated suffixes can influence model behavior and induce jailbreak responses across a wide range of harmful prompts. The results highlight the challenges related with safety alignment and constraints of LLMs, particularly in the presence of adversarial prompt manipulations. Our findings highlights that even instructiontuned models remain vulnerable to systematic
13
prompt-based attacks, underlining the need for more robust safety and alignment mechanisms. In general, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the security limitations of current LLM models and motivates further research towards developing more resilient defense strategies.
