An independent reproduction on AgentDojo with Qwen2.5-7B finds that the Progent out-of-band defense reduces mean attack success from 25.8% to 4.2% and holds against a hand-crafted adaptive attack at 2.6%.
MATRA adapts established risk assessment into a framework using impact assessment and attack trees to quantify how architectural controls reduce risks from LLM threats in agentic AI deployments like OpenClaw.
Black-box optimization outperforms gradient-based methods for prompt injection on LLM agents, with success depending on attacker model strength and limited transfer from small to frontier models.
The paper argues that agent security is best addressed as a systems problem by applying principles from operating systems, networks, and formal methods rather than relying solely on model robustness improvements.
