Still There, No Longer Seen: Exposing Compression-Induced Risk in Large Vision-Language Models

Visual token compression reduces the inference cost of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). However, aggregate robustness measures do not reveal whether a particular adversarial failure is induced by compression or inherited from the underlying model. We define a compression-specific failure (CSF) as an adversarial in...

JevVibe: Efficient Classification-Guided Secure Code Generation

This work evaluates Jev, a decision model that instead selects directly from a declared set of candidates and returns a probability for each, against six open-weight autoregressive models and a frontier proprietary model, and builds JevVibe, a diagnosis-guided repair agent that uses predicted CWE labels to repair code...

CoSec: Benchmarking Agent Security in Communities

LLM agents operate in persistent collaborative environments involving multiple users, communities, memories, files, and tools. Community boundaries may remain fixed or evolve with changes in membership, roles, composition, and relationships. Agents must complete legitimate tasks and prevent unauthorized disclosure of p...

SEAD: A State-Based Perspective on Attack and Defense in Tool-Using Agents

Language-model agents increasingly use tools to act on external systems. Earlier actions can alter files, permissions, database records, or other state, making a later routine-looking action harmful. Yet the visible interaction may not reveal the underlying state needed to assess that action. We formulate attack and de...

Before Agents Act: Assurance-Aware Semantic Scheduling for Evidence Acquisition in Distributed Systems

Assurance-Aware Semantic Scheduling (AAS) combines integer-program selection, dispatch-aware temporal scheduling, bounded diagnostic expansion, and receipt-aware repair to formulate evidence acquisition as joint witness selection and scheduling under quorum, diversity, freshness, deadline, and resource constraints.

Certified Multi-Source Integrity for Structured Agent Actions

LLM agents increasingly take privileged, often irreversible structured actions, such as paying an invoice. They assemble each action from action-critical fields in documents and tool outputs that an adversary can corrupt, and indirect prompt injection can drive the model itself to extract attacker-chosen values. Curren...

SecProbe: Adaptive Evaluation of Coding Agents on Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities

Assessing cybersecurity vulnerability awareness in coding agents requires evaluations that reveal capability gaps and remain informative as models evolve. Static benchmarks offer fixed coverage and difficulty, while scarce vulnerable repositories and costly expert authoring limit their renewal at scale. We introduce Se...

HESP: Separating What to Probe from When to Stop in Local LLM Alert-Triage Agents

Security operations centers receive far more alerts than analysts can investigate, and organizations that cannot send their telemetry to hosted models must automate triage with small open-weight LLMs on their own hardware. Current LLM agents leave the investigation procedure to the model, and small local models fail at...

Evaluating System One Models for Agent Security Decisions: Reliability, Calibration, and Selective Automation

This work evaluates Jev, Laya, Decider, and Bespoke Nimble against specialized classifiers and language-model judges across prompt-injection detection, interaction-risk judgment, and harmful-request screening, examining decision accuracy, calibration, and selective automation.

API Secrets Should Never Become Tokens in the LLM's Vocabulary: A Threat Analysis of API Credential Handling in LLM Agent Systems and an Empirical Evaluation of a Vault-Mediated Execution Boundary

Tool-using large language model (LLM) agents turn credential hygiene from a storage problem into an execution-security problem. A key pasted into a prompt, or embedded in a system prompt or tool configuration, crosses from an authentication boundary into a data pipeline, where it may persist in conversation history, lo...

Zero-Storage Procedural Neural Synthesis via Boundary Dynamics: Formal Verification in Lean 4 and Bare-Metal Gauntlet Validation

Contemporary neural inference architectures rely on dense floating-point weight matrices stored in high-bandwidth memory (VRAM), incurring severe memory-wall bottlenecks and preventing native execution inside deterministic virtual machines like the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Verifying termination and arithmetic in...
