HarnessSecurity-Bench: Do Security Mechanisms Really Protect Coding Agent Harnesses?

Coding agent harnesses mediate tool use and authorize actions, yet their security mechanisms and runtime effects remain incompletely characterized. We present HarnessSecurity, the first systematic empirical study and benchmark of open- and closed-source coding agent harnesses. First, we derive a...

Attack Chains, Not Just Attack Surfaces: Why Testing Individual Techniques Misses the Point

Introduction Security teams have gotten pretty good at testing against what can hurt them. Can this EDR agent catch this payload? Will my organization fail the phishing simulation? Does this SIEM rule fire on this particular technique? And, in more mature organizations, this testing happens...

Trusted Credentials, Untrusted Behavior: Benchmarking LLM-Agent Security in High-Performance Computing

Large language model LLM agents are starting to take on routine work in high-performance computing HPC, including monitoring Slurm jobs, diagnosing failed builds, inspecting simulation output, and coordinating scientific workflows. To do this work, an agent commonly acts under its user's...

Understanding and Evaluating Claw-Like Agent Security through a Computer-Systems Lens

Claw-like AI agents e.g., OpenClaw are always-on processes with persistent access to credentials, files, tools, and external services. They take on system-level responsibilities -- installing packages, maintaining state, scheduling subtasks, and mediating I/O -- making security failures far more...

LLM Agents Security Duality: A Comprehensive Survey of Self-Security and Empowered Cybersecurity

Large language model LLM agents are rapidly being integrated into real-world systems. Their autonomy and tool-use capabilities generate substantial value while simultaneously expanding the security attack surface. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges o...

Investigating the Security of Modern AI and Cloud Infrastructure

The widespread deployment of Deep Neural Networks and Large Language Models LLMs relies on a foundational assumption of isolation that this dissertation challenges. This work systematically deconstructs security assumptions around AI and modern cloud infrastructure through a taxonomy of interacti...

SoK: Taxonomizing the Low-Level Attack Surface of Modern Web Browsers

The web browser remains one of the most exposed remote attack surfaces on end-user systems, and memory-corruption flaws continue to play a central role in real-world browser exploitation. Despite a decade of intensive browser testing and bug-disclosure efforts, the community still lacks an...

The Adversarial Discount - AI, Signal Correlation, and the Cybersecurity Arms Race

We study a contest-theoretic model of adversarial investment in which an attacker and a defender allocate resources to AI-augmented capabilities across multiple attack surfaces. The attacker's investment operates through two channels: it amplifies offensive potency unconditionally and erodes...
