New K2 Think AI Model Falls to Jailbreak in Record Time

A groundbreaking vulnerability has emerged in the newly released K2 Think AI model from UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in collaboration with G42.

Security researchers have successfully jailbroken the advanced reasoning system within hours of its public release, exposing a critical flaw that transforms the model’s transparency features into an attack vector.

The vulnerability allows attackers to systematically map and bypass security measures by exploiting the model’s own reasoning process, turning failed attempts into stepping stones for eventual compromise.

The K2 Think model incorporates sophisticated reasoning capabilities designed to provide transparent decision-making processes, making it appealing for enterprise applications requiring audit trails and explainable AI.

However, this transparency has become its greatest weakness. Security researchers from Adversa AI’s red teaming platform discovered that the model’s internal thought process inadvertently exposes system-level instructions and safety protocols, creating a roadmap ...
