Mechanistic Analysis of Template-Injection Jailbreaks in Diffusion Language Models

Our project investigates how jailbreak attacks affect diffusion language models in healthcare. We study whether unsafe template injections leave detectable internal signatures and whether these signals can be used to steer the model back toward safer responses. Our findings show that harmful injections can be detected reliably, but correcting the resulting behavior remains more challenging.
