Self-hosted AI agents read and write their own memory and configuration files to function. An agent may get compromised via corruption of its own state -- a compromise realized via legitimate OS system call invocation.

arXiv:2605. 08442v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We discover that prompt-injection success and tool-execution success are separable safety properties: defenses that block injection do not necessarily block execution, and vice versa.
