arXiv:2604. 06367v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Web agents automate browser tasks, ranging from simple form completion to complex workflows like ordering groceries.
arXiv:2607. 08147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous web agents promise to automate everyday browsing tasks, but inherit one of the web's oldest attack surfaces.
arXiv:2511. 20597v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) agents into web browsers introduces security challenges that go beyond traditional web application threat models.
arXiv:2602. 09222v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) based web agents are increasingly deployed to automate complex online tasks by directly interacting with web sites and performing actions on users' behalf.
arXiv:2606. 15609v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on long-term memory to support complex task execution, user personalization, and domain adaptation.
arXiv:2608. 04565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based search agents are widely used for information-seeking tasks, but their reliance on external tool returns introduces a critical security risk: web content retrieved during execution is untrusted, exposing agents to prompt injection and goal hijacking.
arXiv:2510. 19838v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous web agents powered by large language models (LLMs) show strong potential for performing goal-oriented tasks such as information retrieval, report generation, and online transactions.

arXiv:2607. 08180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rise of LLM-based agents with reasoning, summarization, and memory capabilities has created a new threat surface for online content that conventional defenses fail to address.
The paper introduces a method to detect which web scrapers feed data to large language models (LLMs) by deploying dynamic websites that issue unique canary tokens to each scraper. By querying LLMs for information about these sites, the authors can identify when an LLM consistently outputs the unique tokens, indicating exposure to a specific scraper. Experiments on 22 production LLM systems show the technique reliably uncovers both known and undisclosed scrapers, offering a tool for third parties to monitor and control unwanted web scraping.
