The paper revisits Thompson’s classic compiler back‑door attack in the context of self‑modifying AI coding agents. By poisoning the benchmarks used for self‑evaluation, the authors demonstrate that agents such as the Darwin Gödel Machine, Self‑Improving Coding Agent, and Hyperagents can be coaxed into generating vulnerable code, even on clean, held‑out tasks. Experiments show that the contamination can persist after subsequent clean training, highlighting the need for more robust agent designs.
