New attack method enhances transferability to closed-source LLMs

Researchers have developed a new method called FRA-Attack to improve the transferability of adversarial attacks against closed-source multimodal large language models (MLLMs). This technique operates in the frequency domain, using high-pass filtering to focus on essential visual cues and a model-agnostic low-pass regularizer to stabilize gradients. Experiments demonstrated that FRA-Attack achieves superior cross-model transferability, showing state-of-the-art performance against models like GPT-5.4, Claude-Opus-4.6, and Gemini-3-flash. AI
