Cybersecurity of Teleoperated Quadruped Robots: A Systematic Survey of Vulnerabilities, Threats, and Open Defense Gaps

Teleoperated quadruped robots are increasingly deployed in safety-critical missions -- industrial inspection, military reconnaissance, and emergency response -- yet the security of their communication and control infrastructure remains insufficiently characterized. Quadrupeds present distinct...

Agent Skills in the Wild: An Empirical Study of Security Vulnerabilities at Scale

The rise of AI agent frameworks has introduced agent skills, modular packages containing instructions and executable code that dynamically extend agent capabilities. While this architecture enables powerful customization, skills execute with implicit trust and minimal vetting, creating a...

Security Analysis of Agentic AI Communication Protocols: A Comparative Evaluation

Multi-agent systems MAS powered by artificial intelligence AI are increasingly foundational to complex, distributed workflows. Yet, the security of their underlying communication protocols remains critically under-examined. This paper presents the first empirical, comparative security analysis of...

A Systematic Classification of Vulnerabilities in MoveEVM Smart Contracts (MWC)

We introduce the MoveEVM Weakness Classification MWC system -- a dedicated vulnerability taxonomy for smart contracts built with Move and executed in EVM-compatible environments. While Move was originally designed to prevent common security flaws via linear resource types and strict ownership, it...

Taking the Risk-Based Approach to Vulnerability Patching

Software vulnerabilities are a major threat to organizations today. The cost of these threats is significant, both financially and in terms of reputation. Vulnerability management and patching can easily get out of hand when the number of vulnerabilities in your organization is in the hundreds of...
