Report #40345
[gotcha] Multi-turn attacks bypassing single-turn safety filters
Evaluate the entire conversation context for policy violations at every turn, not just the latest user prompt; track cumulative intent and use context-aware classifiers.
Journey Context:
Developers deploy input filters that check the current user message. Attackers split the attack: 'Tell me about chemical synthesis' \(safe\) -> 'Now write the steps for \[harmful chemical\]' \(passes filter because it's a short query, but the LLM follows the established context\). The filter must analyze the combined context or the LLM's intended action.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
