A trained attack model generates single emails that silently inject false memories into persistent AI agents, achieving 87.5% end-to-end success on GPT-5.4 and transferring across architectures and memory backends.
SafeClawBench supplies 600 staged adversarial tasks and three separate endpoints that show semantic acceptance, audit evidence, and sandbox-observed harm are distinct failure modes in tool-using LLM agents.
Edge-local LLM agent deployments on IoT eliminate routine cloud data exposure but degrade sovereignty during fallbacks and create exploitable failover windows, making architecture a primary security determinant.
A capability-driven benchmark of 400 bilingual real-world tasks shows current proactive agents fail >50% of the time, with framework architecture impacting performance more than base model choice.
A new multi-turn security benchmark shows OpenClaw agents across ten LLMs trigger harmful actions in 28–53% of adversarial cases, and fragmented or file-hidden attacks roughly double baseline risk rates.
LivePI benchmark reports indirect prompt injection success rates of 10.7-29.6% across five models on seven input surfaces and shows a two-layer defense blocking all malicious completions while preserving utility.
Routine user chats can unintentionally poison the long-term state of personalized LLM agents, causing authorization drift, tool escalation, and unchecked autonomy, as measured by a new benchmark and reduced by the StateGuard defense.
Claw AI agents' heartbeat background execution shares memory context with user sessions, allowing ordinary social misinformation to silently pollute long-term memory and shape behavior at rates up to 76% across sessions.
HearthNet is an edge multi-agent orchestration system that runs role-specialized LLM agents locally to handle natural-language smart-home control, conflict resolution, and failure recovery through MQTT and shared state.
An external runtime governance layer for embodied agents intercepts unauthorized actions at ~96% and recovers from runtime drift at ~91% under policy constraints in simulation, outperforming pre-execution-only baselines on continuous detection and recovery.
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.
The survey organizes security threats and defenses in autonomous LLM agents into four layers and identifies that risks can propagate across layers from inputs to ecosystem impacts.
A synthesis of 247 papers on LLM agent security identifies prompt injection and tool hijacking as dominant threats, notes weakly compositional defenses, and argues for trust boundaries and realistic evaluations.
A survey that categorizes threats to OpenClaw agents including skill poisoning and cognitive manipulation and reviews defense mechanisms.
