What If Prompt Injection Never Left? Exploring Cross-Session Stored Prompt Injection in Agentic Systems

arXiv:2606. 04425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern agentic systems transform LLMs from session-bounded assistants into stateful systems that persist and evolve shared world state across sessions through memories, filesystems, tools, and other long-lived contextual artifacts.

Yesterday's Shield, Today's Spear: A Self-Evolving Safety Guardrail in Production

arXiv:2608. 08471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deployed LLM safety guardrails are predominantly static: trained once and frozen at release, while new jailbreak techniques and previously un-addressed harmful categories emerge within days, leaving the defense perpetually a step behind.

SafeClawBench: Separating Semantic, Audit-Evidence, and Sandbox Harm in Tool-Using LLM Agents

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.
