arXiv 2607.05120 defines a new attack class: instead of hijacking what the agent does, corrupt which resources it acts upon, by injecting probabilistic delimiters that make untrusted data read as trusted metadata (resource IDs, data origin, tool-call history). On agents where instruction injection lands 0.0% to 0.7% of the time, ADI hits 49.1%. Llama Guard 2 input guardrails let 50.0% through. LlamaFirewall output guardrails let 45.4% through. Neither can distinguish a corrupted action from a legitimate one, because the action is legitimate. The resource is wrong.

Reflex-Guard combines jailbreak-aware preprocessing, compact sentence-transformer embeddings and seven binary classifiers trained on 30,568 samples, reporting 95.9% recall end-to-end against 255ms for Llama Guard 2 and 723ms for SafeDecoding, with 100% detection of GCG suffix...
The method synthesizes security skills offline from known attacks and recorded agent failures, injects them into the system prompt at session start, and leaves them active through the tool-use loop. Across six models on RedCode the default all-classes skill dropped malware-gen...
SARC-DQ found competent agents converted freshness/lineage/provenance defects into costly actions about 60% of the time, with both data-quality flags and the agents' own hedging detecting them at chance. The conversion rate was flat across four model tiers spanning a 15x price...
Self-hosted agents read and write their own memory and config to function, which means an attacker can compromise one entirely through legitimate OS system calls with no exploit involved (arXiv 2607.17986). The paper builds a 23-cell attack matrix across Target, Mechanism, Gra...
arXiv 2607.26935 argues the human-vs-bot label space can't represent agent traffic: an MLP binary classifier misroutes 39.1% of real agent sessions as human, a SAINT transformer 34.5%, while adding an explicit third class yields agent F1 = 1.000 across all 30 runs. Against a f...
