[gotcha] Multi-step conversational attacks bypassing single-turn safety filters
Implement stateful moderation that evaluates the entire conversational context and accumulated intent, not just the latest user message. Look for goal-hijacking patterns across turns.
Journey Context:
A single prompt might look benign \('Write a story about a chemist'\), but over 5 turns, the user incrementally guides the LLM into outputting instructions for synthesizing illegal substances. Single-turn moderation filters miss the accumulated malicious intent because each individual turn appears harmless.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
