InjecMEM: Memory Injection Attack on LLM Agent Memory Systems

InjecMEM introduces a memory injection attack that can steer the responses of large language model agents toward a desired output using only a single interaction, without needing read or edit access to the memory store. The attack leverages the retrieval‑then‑generate workflow of memory systems by crafting a retriever‑agnostic anchor with high‑recall topical cues and an adversarial command optimized through gradient‑based coordinate search. Experiments across various memory systems and backbone models show that InjecMEM reliably induces topic‑conditioned retrieval and targeted generation, remains effective even when memory drifts, and does not affect non‑target queries.

Kernel-Managed Shared Memory for System-Wide Personalization

The paper introduces kernel‑managed shared memory, a system‑level abstraction that lets specialized agents write structured, tagged memories while the agent‑system kernel controls retrieval, privacy, and prompt injection. Implemented on AIOS, this design outperforms unmanaged external memory, standard retrieval‑augmented injection, and full context concatenation across GPT‑4o, Llama‑3.1:8B, and Qwen‑2.5:7B, improving personalization scores by 2.4‑4.0 points on a 5‑point scale and reducing latency and token usage by 15‑61%. The results show that centralizing memory management in the kernel delivers most personalization benefits at a fraction of the cost.
