From Controlled to the Wild: Evaluation of Pentesting Agents for the Real-World

AI pentesting agents are increasingly credible as offensive security systems, but current benchmarks still provide limited guidance on which will perform best in real-world targets. Existing evaluation protocols assess and optimize for predefined goals such as capture-the-flag, remote code...

The Authorization-Execution Gap Is a Major Safety and Security Problem in Open-World Agents

This position paper argues that the Authorization-Execution Gap AEG is a major safety and security problem in open-world agents. The AEG is the divergence between what a principal intends to authorize and what an open-world agent ultimately executes. Because such agents act autonomously across...
