Model and training details
Table with columns: Field, Value| Field | Value |
|---|
| Base model | Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B |
| Architecture | Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration; 27B causal language model with a vision encoder |
| Checkpoint format | Merged weights in 15 safetensors shards |
| Training recipe | SecOPD clean-context on-policy distillation |
| Training data | 19K examples constructed from Cleaned-Alpaca with simulated prompt injections |
| Trainable parameters | LoRA adapter, merged into the released weights |
| LoRA rank | 128 |
| Learning rate | 1e-4 |
| Sampling temperature | 1.0 |
| Maximum training generation length | 16K tokens |
| Input boundary | Trusted instructions in user; untrusted data in input |
The student generates a trajectory under an attacked prompt. A frozen copy of
the initialization model scores the same generated tokens under the paired
clean prompt, and the resulting token-level likelihood differences provide the
training signal. The signal is applied to every generated token.
Use the user role for the trusted instruction and the input role for
untrusted text, documents, tool returns, or images. The included chat template
matches the role separation used in the paper's evaluation and starts the
assistant response in thinking mode by default.
Do not concatenate attacker-controlled content into system or user
messages. SecOPD assumes that the application identifies the trust boundary
before inference.
Security results
Attack success rate (ASR) is lower-is-better. The PISmith row uses non-thinking
evaluation, as required by that evaluation protocol. The other rows use
thinking-enabled inference.
Table with columns: Benchmark or attack, Undefended, Meta-SecAlign, GRPO, SecOPD| Benchmark or attack | Undefended | Meta-SecAlign | GRPO | SecOPD |
|---|
| SEP Static | 99.4% | 28.9% | 15.0% | 1.3% |
| SEP Basic Adaptive | 99.0% | 5.5% | 2.3% | 0.2% |
| SEP PISmith Adaptive (non-thinking) | 97.9% | 94.0% | 61.2% | |
For PISmith, a separate attacker is trained for each target model and evaluated
with pass@10 over 1,024 SEP examples. AgentDojo uses v1.2.1 with the benchmark's
important_instructions attack and evaluates the target in thinking mode.

All values are percentages and higher-is-better.

Secure inference
The model requires a recent Transformers or vLLM release with Qwen3.6 support.
Put trusted instructions in user and untrusted content in input.

{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the following untrusted report."},

Intended use
This checkpoint is intended for prompt-injection research, red-team evaluation,
and prototyping applications that maintain an explicit trusted/untrusted input
boundary. It should be combined with system-level controls such as least
privilege, tool authorization, sandboxing, monitoring, and user confirmation
for consequential actions.
Limitations
- Prompt injection is not solved. New search spaces, encodings, longer attack
horizons, or larger query budgets may find failures.
- The model assumes the host application supplies a trustworthy
input-role
boundary; it does not infer trust from text semantics.
- PISmith and the other reported attacks use different inference protocols, as
described above, and their ASRs should not be conflated.
- This is a model-level indirect prompt-injection defense, not a replacement for
jailbreak defenses or system-level authorization.
- The model inherits the capabilities, biases, failure modes, and resource
requirements of Qwen3.6-27B.
- Finite benchmark results do not establish universal robustness.
