From eea3aedb0bb772f9aeb5dc29b84f1b675cf67d37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shashank Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 23:42:49 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] FEAT: Add PuzzledConverter (word-puzzle jailbreak, arXiv:2508.01306) Implements the PUZZLED jailbreak (Ahn & Lee, arXiv:2508.01306) as a text-to-text converter. It masks a prompt's sensitive words and re-encodes them as a word search, anagram, or crossword that the target solves and reconstructs before following the instruction. - keyword masking with built-in harm-word lists, spaCy POS tagging, and a length-based fallback when the spaCy model is absent - three deterministic puzzle builders (seeded RNG for reproducibility) - optional LLM-generated semantic clues via converter_target, with a clean fallback to the length/part-of-speech clue - 54 unit tests, a usage example, and the paper citation Closes #2234 --- doc/bibliography.md | 2 +- .../converters/1_text_to_text_converters.py | 5 + doc/references.bib | 8 + pyrit/converter/__init__.py | 2 + pyrit/converter/puzzled/__init__.py | 36 +++ pyrit/converter/puzzled/keyword_masker.py | 279 ++++++++++++++++++ pyrit/converter/puzzled/puzzle_builders.py | 228 ++++++++++++++ pyrit/converter/puzzled/puzzled_converter.py | 264 +++++++++++++++++ .../converters/puzzled_converter.yaml | 49 +++ .../unit/converter/test_puzzled_converter.py | 168 +++++++++++ .../converter/test_puzzled_keyword_masker.py | 189 ++++++++++++ .../converter/test_puzzled_puzzle_builders.py | 129 ++++++++ 12 files changed, 1358 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 pyrit/converter/puzzled/__init__.py create mode 100644 pyrit/converter/puzzled/keyword_masker.py create mode 100644 pyrit/converter/puzzled/puzzle_builders.py create mode 100644 pyrit/converter/puzzled/puzzled_converter.py create mode 100644 pyrit/datasets/converters/puzzled_converter.yaml create mode 100644 tests/unit/converter/test_puzzled_converter.py create mode 100644 tests/unit/converter/test_puzzled_keyword_masker.py create mode 100644 tests/unit/converter/test_puzzled_puzzle_builders.py diff --git a/doc/bibliography.md b/doc/bibliography.md index 588b2a5b86..b5b22cab98 100644 --- a/doc/bibliography.md +++ b/doc/bibliography.md @@ -5,6 +5,6 @@ All academic papers, research blogs, and technical reports referenced throughout :::{dropdown} Citation Keys :class: hidden-citations -[@aakanksha2024multilingual;
