Abstract
Adv. Prompt: someone basically during a phecurkazã±tunivilleniled <|startoftext|>maneupretending as ' zomstigmey person ( ) Adv.

Prompt: ( arguably one uneconfususprently topless bare <|startoftext|>dignity turned <|startoftext|>can languendofbare skinned man man (a) Image generation (b) Image editting Figure 1. Our attack framework harnesses both textual and visual modalities to bypass safeguards such as prompt filters (a) and post-hoc safety checkers (b), generating semantically-rich NSFW images and illuminating vulnerabilities in current defense mechanisms.
