ADeptS-Bench: Measuring the Trustworthiness of Computer Use Agents Across Devices
ADeptS-Bench is a new benchmark designed to assess the trustworthiness of Computer Use Agents (CUAs) across mobile and desktop devices. It consists of two streams: a Safety stream with paired benign and malicious tasks that embed visual threats, and a Disambiguation stream that tests whether agents seek clarification when instructions are ambiguous. Evaluation of seven models shows none consistently achieves high task success while keeping attack success low, and all models exhibit problematic behaviors such as unhesitant checkout on a $25K order and failure to detect a mislabeled factory reset button.
