Desktop GUI agents face TOCTOU attacks from UI state changes during the ~6.5s observation-to-action gap, with a three-layer pre-execution verification defense achieving 100% interception on two attack types but failing on DOM injection.

Phone-use agents avoid harm more often through inability to act than through deliberate safe choices, so benchmarks must separate unsafe judgment from capability failure.
DRIVE disentangles reasoning and interaction skills for web agents via dual-level modeling and scene-aware coordination, reaching 52.8% success on WebArena tasks.
The paper develops a unified framework that organizes computer-use agent reliability around perception-decision-execution layers and creation-deployment-operation-maintenance stages to map security and alignment interventions.
