How AI Hallucinations Are Creating Real Security Risks

AI hallucinations are introducing serious security risks into critical infrastructure decision-making by exploiting human trust through highly confident yet incorrect outputs. When an AI model lacks certainty, it doesn’t have a mechanism to recognize that. Instead, it generates the most probable...

Do Coding Agents Understand Least-Privilege Authorization?

As coding agents gain access to shells, repositories, and user files, least-privilege authorization becomes a prerequisite for safe deployment: an agent should receive enough authority to complete the task, without unnecessary authority that exposes sensitive surfaces.To study whether current...

DCVD: Dual-Channel Cross-Modal Fusion for Joint Vulnerability Detection and Localization

Software vulnerability detection plays a critical role in ensuring system security, where real-world auditing requires not only determining whether a function is vulnerable but also pinpointing the specific lines responsible. However, existing approaches either rely on a single information source...

SkillSafetyBench: Evaluating Agent Safety under Skill-Facing Attack Surfaces

Reusable skills are becoming a common interface for extending large language model agents, packaging procedural guidance with access to files, tools, memory, and execution environments. However, this modularity introduces attack surfaces that are largely missed by existing safety evaluations: eve...

Do Androids Dream of Breaking the Game? Systematically Auditing AI Agent Benchmarks with BenchJack

Agent benchmarks have become the de facto measure of frontier AI competence, guiding model selection, investment, and deployment. However, reward hacking, where agents maximize a score without performing the intended task, emerges spontaneously in frontier models without overfitting. We argue tha...

LITMUS: Benchmarking Behavioral Jailbreaks of LLM Agents in Real OS Environments

The rapid proliferation of LLM-based autonomous agents in real operating system environments introduces a new category of safety risk beyond content safety: behavior jailbreak, where an adversary induces an agent to execute dangerous OS-level operations with irreversible consequences. Existing...

MonitoringBench: Semi-Automated Red-Teaming for Agent Monitoring

We introduce a red-teaming methodology that exposes harder-to-catch attacks for coding-agent monitors, suggesting that current practices may under-elicit attacks and overstate monitor performance. We identify three challenges with current red-teaming. First, mode collapse in attack generation,...

LCC-LLM: Leveraging Code-Centric Large Language Models for Malware Attribution

LLMs are increasingly explored for malware analysis; however, current LLM-based malware attribution remains limited by unsupported indicators and insufficient code-level grounding for identifying malicious and vulnerable code segments. To address these limitations, this research introduces LCC-LL...

Benchmarking Large Language Models for IoC Recovery under Adversarial Code Obfuscation and Encryption

Software obfuscation and encryption present persistent challenges for program comprehension and security analysis, particularly when adversaries conceal Indicators of Compromise IoCs such as IP addresses within source code. While Large Language Models LLMs have recently demonstrated remarkable...
