Log-To-Leak: Prompt Injection Attacks on Tool-Using LLM Agents via the Model Context Protocol

The paper "Log-To-Leak: Prompt Injection Attacks on Tool-Using LLM Agents via the Model Context Protocol" investigates how natural-language metadata in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be exploited to inject malicious post‑hoc logging calls into large language model agents. The authors introduce the Log-To-Leak attack, which adds an attacker‑controlled call after a legitimate tool invocation, targeting user queries, MCP server names, server responses, and agent responses. Experiments across five MCP servers and four LLM agents show high attack success rates (up to 100%) and significant logging accuracy, while existing defenses still leave substantial residual risk.

NetInjectBench: Benchmarking Indirect Prompt Injection in Tool-Using Large Language Model Agents for Network Operations

arXiv:2607. 10490v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-using large language model (LLM) agents are attractive for network operations, but tickets, alerts, logs, runbooks, and ChatOps messages can carry indirect prompt injections.

Autonomy in Check: Governor-Mediated Adaptive Security at the Edge

The paper proposes a split‑control architecture for adaptive security at the network edge, where an untrusted planner emits typed security intents that are vetted by a deterministic governor before being enacted. The governor checks each intent against safety, resource, temporal‑stability, and proportionality invariants, issuing signed receipts for admitted actions that are compiled into eBPF map updates. Experiments on a Raspberry Pi 5 connected to a university 5G test network show the governor can admit, reject, and bound intents at microsecond cost without disrupting protected‑flow regularity.
