This paper delivers the first systematic taxonomy and cross-benchmark consistency analysis of 40 agent safety benchmarks, finding broad but shallow risk coverage, no ranking concordance across evaluations, and that benchmark choice systematically alters reported safety.

LLM planners for robots often produce dangerous plans even when planning succeeds, with safety awareness staying flat as model scale improves planning ability.
HazardArena shows VLA models trained on safe data frequently produce unsafe actions in semantically risky but visually similar settings, and a training-free Safety Option Layer reduces those failures with little performance cost.
SecureWebArena is a new benchmark suite for holistic security evaluation of LVLM-based web agents using diverse simulated environments, attack taxonomies, and multi-layered failure analysis across reasoning, behavior, and outcomes.
TouchSafeBench evaluates VLMs on collision grounding, finding best Macro-F1 below 50% and that explicit depth does not yield reliable robot-body contact inference.
GuardAD reduces accident rates by 32% in autonomous driving MLLMs by using n-th order Markovian logic to infer latent hazards and revise actions.
A multi-level taxonomy of risks, attacks, and defenses across the full embodied AI pipeline, synthesizing 500+ papers and flagging overlooked failure modes.
A 395M label-only bidirectional encoder achieves 82.90 average F1 on moderation benchmarks without reasoning, matching larger reasoning decoders at ~100x lower inference cost and with better robustness properties.
A patch-augmented cross-view regularization method reduces backdoor attack success rates in multimodal LLMs by enforcing output differences between original and perturbed views while using entropy constraints to preserve benign generation quality.
A literature survey that unifies fragmented work on attacks, defenses, evaluations, and deployment challenges for Vision-Language-Action models in robotics.
