VisualLeakBench shows vision-language agents propagate PII and unsafe text from images to tool arguments at 78.8% and 85.5% baseline rates, with defensive prompts reducing PII leakage to 2% mainly by suppressing tool use while unsafe-text leakage stays at 52.6%.
A cross-modal alignment attack achieves AUC 0.821 for single-sample black-box membership inference on VLMs such as LLaVA-1.5 by quantifying image-generated caption similarity.
Alignment of vision-language models with human V1-V3 early visual cortex negatively predicts resistance to sycophantic gaslighting attacks.
A narrative survey that catalogs fifty papers on diffusion-based adversarial techniques across text, vision, and vision-language models, proposes a six-class taxonomy of diffusion roles plus a unified five-dimension evaluation framework, and releases a companion catalog.
Introduces MM-Privacy dataset and evaluations showing MLLMs leak sensitive data from images in various tasks, highlighting task inconsistency effects.
FLP uses multi-persona foresight simulation to detect infections via response diversity and applies local purification to reduce maximum cumulative infection rates in multi-agent systems from over 95% to below 5.47%.
Universal adversarial attacks cause output perturbation 90 times more often than precise target injection in VLMs, with only 2 verbatim successes out of 6615 tests.
A multi-agent AI system generates novel biomedical hypotheses that show promising experimental validation in drug repurposing for leukemia, new targets for liver fibrosis, and a bacterial gene transfer mechanism.
MIRAGE creates perceptually benign adversarial images using diffusion and curvature-aware optimization to enable targeted prompt injection attacks on web agents like SeeAct and OpenClaw within attacker-controlled boundaries.
SALLIE detects jailbreaks in text and vision-language models by extracting residual stream activations, scoring maliciousness per layer with k-NN, and ensembling predictions, outperforming baselines on multiple datasets.
The paper proposes a bottom-up framework for safe agentic AI systems that treats each component as a dual-use interface where added capabilities also expand attack surfaces across single agents, multi-agent systems, and interoperable ecosystems.
