Grammar-Guided Code Watermarking with Green Temperature

Large language model watermarking embeds detectable statistical signals during decoding, but the resulting changes to token probabilities can degrade generation quality. This trade-off is particularly important for code, where small changes in token selection can break syntax or alter program behavior. Existing code wa...

Who Is Your Agent Serving? Provider-Side Indirect Prompt Injection in Proactive Agents

Proactive personal agents increasingly decide what to recommend, how to personalize advice, and what follow-up assistance to offer, creating a new user-decision attack surface for provider-side indirect prompt injection. We show that an external provider need not access private user context, compromise the agent, or ga...

Blocking at the Boundary: Auditing Long-Horizon Agents against Staged Prompt Injection

Long-horizon agents consume external content, invoke tools, and modify persistent state. Indirect prompt injection can exploit task-specific context, propagate across causally connected stages, and alter a consequential action while the workflow continues; we term this staged prompt injection. We build an automated, fe...

VulValidate: Auditing Function-Level Vulnerability Labels with Executable Evidence

Reliable learning-based vulnerability detection requires high-quality labels, yet datasets built from vulnerability-fixing commits may label functions as vulnerable simply because they were changed by a security patch. We present VulValidate, a framework that uses LLM agents to coordinate dynamic analysis tools and con...

Hidden Risks of Jev: An Empirical Study of Security, Privacy, and Dual Use

Jev turns natural-language questions into typed answers and probabilities with low latency and cost, enabling applications to route requests and select tools. While this interface allows Jev to integrate naturally into application workflows as a decision layer, the security and privacy implications of this emerging use...

Invisible Ink, Visible Lies: How Production Watermarking Causes LLMs to Hallucinate

Text watermarking helps identify AI-generated content, but its effect on factual reliability remains underexplored. In this paper, we study watermarking hallucination: factual errors induced or amplified by watermarking even when the required evidence is present in the context and the unwatermarked model can answer cor...

Guess My Weight: Profiled Side-Channel Recovery of Floating-Point Neural-Network Weights

Neural-network parameters deployed on embedded devices may be exposed through physical side-channel leakage during inference. Existing side-channel attacks on floating-point neural-network parameters have often targeted reduced numerical precision, while recovering the complete IEEE-754 representation remains considera...

COPEX: Benchmarking LLM Robustness to Adversarial Context Across Model Context Protocol Layers

Large language models increasingly mediate tool use in Model Context Protocol (MCP) systems, where adversarial influence may enter through user instructions, tool schemas, tool outputs, or protocol messages. Existing benchmarks often evaluate deployed agents, conflating model susceptibility with guardrails, orchestrati...

GrayShield: Bit-Level Sanitization for Transformer Model Supply-Chain Security

Transformer models such as BERT and Vision Transformer~(ViT) achieve strong performance via densely parameterized attention backbones. However, the least significant bits~(LSBs) of their 32-bit floating-point weights can be abused as covert channels to conceal malicious payloads, posing a serious threat to the AI model...

CyTReX: Explainable AI-Based Cybersecurity Threat Reasoning Framework for DER Networks

Distributed Energy Resource (DER) environments rely on network communication protocols to coordinate control commands, measurements, and device states across edge assets and cloud systems. Edge anomaly detection systems (ADS) monitor this traffic to identify deviations from normal communication behavior, flagging suspi...

Language Model Fingerprinting Requires Rethinking Watermark Teachers

LLM fingerprinting via watermark distillation embeds a statistical watermark signal into model weights, enabling model owners to identify their models behind black-box APIs. Revisiting a recent protocol, we find that its utility evaluation understates text quality degradation in open-ended generation, favoring overly s...

Beware EviLLM: Enabling Vulnerability Injection via Large Language Models

Advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled AI-driven code generation from natural language specifications, introducing new attack surfaces for injecting vulnerabilities into software. Prior work has studied this problem only in benign settings where vulnerabilities are introduced inadvertently, or under unco...
