Misrouter enables input-only attacks on MoE LLMs by optimizing queries on open-source surrogates to route toward weakly aligned experts and transferring them to public APIs.
RouteHijack is a routing-aware jailbreak that identifies safety-critical experts via activation contrast and optimizes suffixes to suppress them, reaching 69.3% average attack success rate on seven MoE LLMs with strong transfer to variants and VLMs.
Only 39% of LLM safety benchmark repositories run without modification, 6% include ethical warnings, and adoption tracks author prominence and runnability rather than code quality metrics.
MESA decentralizes safety duties in MoE LLMs via expert capacity reallocation and dynamic routing refinement based on optimal transport theory, yielding robust defense on harmful benchmarks while preserving helpfulness.
