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.

arXiv:2602. 13379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based agents are becoming increasingly capable, yet their safety lags behind.
By Xu Li, Simon Yu, Minzhou Pan, Yiyou Sun, Bo Li, Dawn Song, Xue Lin, Weiyan Shi
LLM-based agents leverage third-party skills to extend their capabilities in open-world scenarios. However, third-party skills can introduce extra security vulnerabilities, as seemingly harmless skills can contain latent safety risks that only emerge during actual execution.
arXiv:2606. 15899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source LLM agent ecosystems are growing rapidly, yet the security of community-contributed skills - modular tool definitions that extend agent capabilities - remains largely unvetted.
