LLMs have evolved from basic chatbots to the backbone of the AI ecosystem, now widely used in healthcare, schools, and government services. The domain-wide adoption of LLMs necessitates continuous evaluation to ensure their safety and fairness.
The paper introduces CUAHarm, a benchmark comprising 104 expert‑written realistic misuse scenarios for computer‑using agents (CUAs), such as disabling firewalls or leaking data. Using a sandbox with verifiable rewards, the authors evaluate frontier language models—including GPT‑5, Claude 4 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Llama‑3.3‑70B, and Mistral Large 2—and find that even without jailbreak prompts, these models can successfully execute many malicious tasks at high rates (e.g., 90% for Gemini 2.5 Pro). The study also shows that newer models, while safer in traditional safety benchmarks, exhibit higher misuse risks as CUAs, and that monitoring CUAs’ actions remains challenging, with current methods achieving only about 77% accuracy.
