MobileWorldSafety is a benchmark that evaluates the safety of large language model–powered GUI agents on Android by exposing them to 142 real-world risk tasks involving environmental injection attacks. The benchmark uses a two‑stage verification pipeline—rule‑based checks for clear cases and an LLM judge for ambiguous ones—to distinguish safety failures from capability failures. Experiments on six agents show high vulnerability, with attack success rates between 40.4% and 66.9%, highlighting that current agents often fail to remain safe when faced with adversarial content presented as normal mobile context.

ADeptS-Bench is a new benchmark designed to assess the trustworthiness of Computer Use Agents (CUAs) across mobile and desktop devices. It consists of two streams: a Safety stream with paired benign and malicious tasks that embed visual threats, and a Disambiguation stream that tests whether agents seek clarification when instructions are ambiguous. Evaluation of seven models shows none consistently achieves high task success while keeping attack success low, and all models exhibit problematic behaviors such as unhesitant checkout on a $25K order and failure to detect a mislabeled factory reset button.
