5 novel attack types (intent hijacking, tool chaining, task injection, objective drifting, memory poisoning) across 28 environments. Key finding: single-turn defenses fail against multi-turn adversarial strategies. (arXiv 2602.16901)

arXiv 2608.11878 replaces the handful of manually implemented injection-testing environments with an Environment Simulator, Attacker Agent, and User Simulator that generate executable stateful environments and discover viable injection points automatically. Injection timing an...

"Adaptive Adversaries" (arXiv:2607.18063) tests agents against attackers that adapt across turns instead of firing one-shot prompts. Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 tied at 5.4% aggregate, but per-scenario variance was extreme, with Opus hitting 60% on one scenario where competito...
The first systematic study of deceptive UI impact on LLM web agents, accepted at IEEE S&P 2026, tested against real e-commerce, streaming, and news dark patterns. Gemini 2.5 Pro: 65.78% susceptibility. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: 53.79%. GPT-4o: 51.26%. Guardrail models and prompt post...

Existing RAG poisoning is filterable because the adversarial chunk contains the query. CamoDocs chunks synthesized benign and adversarial drafts, swaps selected tokens in benign chunks for dispersion tokens that spread the poisoned embeddings, then coherence-filters for readab...
