AgenTRIM: Tool Risk Mitigation for Agentic AI
While such tools extend capability, improper tool permissions introduce security risks such as indirect prompt injection and tool misuse. We characterize these failures as unbalanced tool-driven agency. Agents
Agent Skills in the Wild: An Empirical Study of Security Vulnerabilities at Scale
skills contain at least one vulnerability, spanning 14 distinct patterns across four categories: prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, and supply chain risks. Data exfiltration (13.3%) and privilege escalation
ToolSafe: Enhancing Tool Invocation Safety of LLM-based agents via Proactive Step-level Guardrail and Feedback

CaMeLs Can Use Computers Too: System-level Security for Computer Use Agents
agents are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where malicious content hijacks agent behavior to steal credentials or cause financial loss. The only known robust defense is architectural isolation that strictly
When Bots Take the Bait: Exposing and Mitigating the Emerging Social Engineering Attack in Web Automation Agent

Hidden State Poisoning Attacks against Mamba-based Language Models
also observe that HiSPA triggers significantly weaken the Jamba model on the popular Open-Prompt-Injections benchmark, unlike pure Transformers. We further show that the theoretical and empirical findings extend
MCP-SandboxScan: WASM-based Secure Execution and Runtime Analysis for MCP Tools
