What happened

A guardrail jailbreak vulnerability was discovered affecting multiple language models including Cohere Command R, Meta LLaMa 4 Scout, and Mistral Large. The exploit uses immersive opposite-world world building combined with enforced scientific schemas that reframe prohibited requests as abstract analytical exercises.

Reported impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to elicit restricted content related to harmful substances including anthrax, nerve agents, crystal meth, and fentanyl by compelling models to comply with methodological execution rather than treating prompts as direct instructions.

Index analysis

Test scores for the jailbreak showed vulnerability ratings of 73 for Cohere Command R on crystal meth, 75 for fentanyl, 73 for Meta LLaMa 4 Scout on crystal meth, and 71 for fentanyl.
