The rapid evolution of multimodal foundation models has led to significant advancements in cross-modal understanding and generation across diverse modalities, including text, images, audio, and video. However, these models remain susceptible to jailbreak attacks, which can bypass built-in safety mechanisms and induce the production of potentially harmful content. Consequently, understanding the methods of jailbreak attacks and existing defense mechanisms is essential to ensure the safe deployment of multimodal generative models in real-world scenarios, particularly in security-sensitive applications. To provide comprehensive insight into this topic, this survey reviews jailbreak and defense in multimodal generative models. First, given the generalized lifecycle of multimodal jailbreak, we systematically explore attacks and corresponding defense strategies across four levels: input, encoder, generator, and output. Based on this analysis, we present a detailed taxonomy of attack methods, defense mechanisms, and evaluation frameworks specific to multimodal generative models. Additionally, we cover a wide range of input-output configurations, including modalities such as Any-to-Text, Any-to-Vision, and Any-to-Any within generative systems. Finally, we highlight current research challenges and propose potential directions for future research.

Existing face aging methods often focus on modeling either texture aging or using an entangled shape-texture representation to achieve face aging. However, shape and texture are two distinct factors that mutually affect the human face aging process. In this paper, we propose 3D-STD, a novel 3D-aware Shape-Texture Disentangled face aging network that explicitly disentangles the facial image into shape and texture representations using 3D face reconstruction. Additionally, to facilitate high-fidelity texture synthesis, we propose a novel texture generation method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of shape and texture transformation. Moreover, our method supports producing plausible 3D face aging results, which is rarely accomplished by current methods.
