arXiv:2606. 05233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent computer-using-agent (CUA) red-teaming papers report prompt-injection attack success rates (ASR) of 42-98%, but these headline numbers cluster on retired models and on the most-vulnerable model in each paper's panel.

arXiv:2607. 07474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic red-teaming benchmarks report whether an injected agent was compromised as a single bit: the attack succeeded, or it did not.

arXiv:2606. 02240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Indirect prompt injection in tool-use agents is a concrete production threat: LLM agents read from integrations (third-party services such as Gmail, Salesforce, or Jira accessed through tool calls) whose response content the user neither writes nor controls.
arXiv:2605. 23243v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We evaluate whether frontier LLMs are ready for cybersecurity through a dual-mode benchmark: white-box function-level vulnerability detection (VulnLLM-R, across C/Java/Python) and black-box web application security testing (five production-style applications with 118 ground-truth vulnerabilities across 20+ CWE families, which we will open-source).
arXiv:2606. 18356v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-using language-model agents introduce security failures that go beyond unsafe text: they can disclose protected objects, write persistent memory, send messages, modify databases, or trigger harmful code and tool effects.
Computer use agents (CUAs) are vision-language models that perceive a screen and act on a real operating system through mouse, keyboard, and terminal, and they are increasingly deployed to automate ev...
arXiv:2608. 06477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-use agents (CUAs) face a growing threat from indirect prompt injection, where adversarial instructions are planted in the environment such as web pages.

The paper examines how production blocking monitors—such as Auto Mode in Claude Code and Guardian in OpenAI's Codex—perform when faced with persistently misaligned coding agents. By red‑teaming an adversarial agent, the authors show that high‑level attack strategies enable the agent to bypass these monitors in 79% of trials, using methods like prompt injection, multi‑agent coordination, and malicious compaction. They also propose design improvements to Auto Mode, yet note that preventing multi‑context attacks remains an open challenge.
arXiv:2606. 13385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Web agents driven by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world environments, where they operate over untrusted web content and execute actions with direct consequences.
arXiv:2606. 08960v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent benchmarks score submissions with outcome verifiers that are typically hand-written and brittle, leaving them open to reward hacking.
