Presents TRUST-Bench benchmark for hidden-trigger tool compromises in LLM agents and VISTA-Guard framework for trajectory-aware risk scoring of final actions under untrusted feedback.
FlowSteer is a prompt-only attack that biases multi-agent LLM workflow planning to propagate malicious signals, raising success rates by up to 55%, with FlowGuard as an input-side defense reducing it by up to 34%.
The paper defines causality laundering as an attack leaking information from denial outcomes in LLM tool calls and proposes the Agentic Reference Monitor to block it using denial-aware provenance graphs.
Entropy dynamics across token positions in intermediate layers of LLMs separate jailbreak prompts from benign ones using trend-based features without extra training.
GIF introduces a Jacobian-based upper bound on input-output mutual information in LLMs with formal Lean proof and strong empirical recall on injection and leakage benchmarks.
PI-Hunter automates red-teaming of LLM agents by generating and iteratively evolving source-aware test cases to induce retrieval of embedded malicious instructions from external environments.
Introduces ClawTrojan benchmark achieving 95.5% ASR for multi-step trojan attacks in agentic harnesses and DASGuard defense that sanitizes control content from untrusted sources.
Empirical demonstration that prompt injection combined with web-tool use creates a feasible privacy-leakage chain in deployed black-box chatbot agents.
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.
VIGIL introduces a policy language and symbolic evaluation rules to enforce context-aware behavioral specifications on LLM agent traces, achieving over 95% recall and under 10% false positives on real tasks.
SkillGuard-Robust formulates pre-load auditing of untrusted Agent Skills as a three-way classification task and achieves 97.30% exact match and 98.33% malicious-risk recall on held-out benchmarks.
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.
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.
