Claude Fable 5 Jailbreak Extracts System Prompts

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.5 SecurityWeek

Security researcher Pliny the Liberator claimed a prompt-based jailbreak of Anthropic's newly launched Claude Fable 5 model, allegedly extracting the internal system prompt and eliciting responses on high-risk topics including bioweapons and cyberattacks. Anthropic disputed the claim, arguing the technique merely coaxes conversational continuation rather than bypassing core safety classifiers. The incident highlights ongoing tension between AI safety assurances at launch and real-world adversarial probing, particularly for Mythos-class models with elevated capability ceilings.

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a high-capability 'Mythos-class' model that automatically falls back to a less capable model (Claude Opus 4.8) when queries touch sensitive domains like cybersecurity and biology. The company conducted over 1,000 hours of external red-teaming with no universal jailbreaks discovered, though it openly acknowledges financially motivated adversaries will attempt to circumvent these controls. Trusted cybersecurity partners under Project Glasswing receive elevated access to the full Mythos 5 capabilities, raising questions about insider risk and tiered trust model security.
