SINGED: Correct Outputs Do Not Certify Safe Execution in LLM Agents

Tool-using language-model agents select and execute third-party artifacts. Different implementations can return the requested output while producing hidden execution effects that task-, attack-, or choice-based evaluations may miss. We study functional counterfeits: implementations that match benign alternatives on the...

When Tools Silently Lie: Evaluating and Mitigating Blind Compliance in Tool-Augmented Data Agents

Tool-augmented data agents rely on tool outputs for analytical decisions. Yet successful execution can return plausible but incorrect evidence, requiring agents to decide whether to trust or verify it. Understanding this failure requires examining both the evidence obtained through checking and the answer ultimately ad...

An Empirical Study and Assessment of EU AI Act Compliance Checkers

The EU AI Act introduces extensive compliance requirements for organizations that develop, deploy, or integrate AI systems. Many of these requirements are directly relevant to security and privacy, while also addressing closely related issues such as data governance, transparency, accuracy, and robustness. However, sta...

OpenAI-HuggingFace: A Reproduction&Lessons for Alignment Testing

The misaligned AI behaviors that led to the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident are identified and it is shown that an auditing agent can elicit similar behaviors given high-level qualitative descriptions and that RL is a promising direction to do so.

You Can't Spot a Deepfake?And Neither Can Your Brain Nor Eyes: A Neurophysiological Framework for Deepfake Exploitation of Cognitive Engagement and Implicit Visual Evaluation

DECEIVE (Deepfake Exploitation of Cognitive Engagement and Implicit Visual Evaluation), a framework that models how deepfake videos are validated as adversarial payloads through behavioral and neuro-physiological screening of viewers, and how attacks can be refined by selecting payloads that evade detection.

Benchmarking and Exploring the Capabilities of LLMs for Attack Investigations

This paper presents AuditBench, a new benchmark dataset for evaluating the capabilities of LLMs at investigating security-related system audit logs. We design and use this benchmark to explore the performance of LLMs on four log-investigation tasks that incident response teams commonly perform, ranging from triaging al...

Decoding One Safety Trigger Token for Balancing Safety and Usability in Large Language Models

D-STT, a simple yet effective defense algorithm that identifies and explicitly decodes safety trigger tokens of the given safety-aligned LLM to activate the model's learned safety patterns, effectively preserves model usability by introducing minimum intervention in the decoding process.

Policy-Conditioned Constrained Decoding for Column-Level Access Control in Text-to-SQL

A per-token logits mask is applied that deterministically eliminates single-query column-use violations on the supported SQL fragment in a single decoding pass and achieves 0% Leakage Rate and Coverage up to 88.7% on Spider-CU, while staying within +10% tokens of direct prompting.

BabelSafe: A Policy-Grounded Multilingual Safety Benchmark for LLMs

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in cross-linguistic contexts, ensuring safety across diverse regulatory and cultural environments has become a critical challenge. However, existing multilingual benchmarks largely rely on general risk taxonomies and machine-translated data, limiting evaluation...

Reading Is Not Leaking: Local, Auditable Measurement and Reduction of Inference Exposure from Public Footprints

Anyone with a public footprint leaks facts that were never stated, and language models make the inference cheap. We present a framework for measuring and reducing this inference exposure that runs on the owner's own CPU with no language model at analysis time, instantiated on organisations and on individuals. It starts...

Checking Leakage Witnesses versus Certifying Bounded Non-Leakage

When a language-model audit finds no leak, what is needed to certify non-leakage? We study guarantees over a declared prompt domain under an executable leakage criterion and decoding rule. For general bounded polynomial-time evaluators, a supplied leaking execution is polynomial-time checkable, while leak existence is...
