Abstract
CAPTCHAs have long served as a defense mechanism to distinguish humans from bots. However, the emergence of Large Language Models with advanced reasoning capabilities poses new challenges to CAPTCHA security. This work presents Oedipus, an LLM-enhanced framework for solving reasoning-based CAPTCHAs, demonstrating the vulnerability of current CAPTCHA systems to AI-powered attacks.
