7.5 Major security vulnerabilities discovered in leading open-weight LLMs¶
Researchers found that safety protections in widely-used open-source large language models can be bypassed with relative ease.
- SaferAI audit found GLM-5.2 with 76% vulnerability reproduction rate
- Vulnerable models: DeepSeek V4 Pro, GLM-5.3, GLM-5.2, Kimi K3
- GLM-5.2 lacks safety refusals despite cyber-offense capability on par with GPT-5.5
- Chinese government policy permits open releases despite security concerns
