Can Transformer Memory Be Corrupted? Investigating Cache-Side Vulnerabilities in Large Language Models
prompts and parameters are secured, transformer language models remain vulnerable because their key-value (KV) cache during inference constitutes an overlooked attack surface. This paper introduces Malicious Token Injection

Same Attack, Different Judge: A First Controlled Adversarial Comparison of Jev, LLM Judges, and Purpose-Built Safety Classifiers
four public-data tasks, from rule-based ones (input moderation, injection detection, routing) to a judgment-based one (phishing detection), with fifty attack variants from thirteen families. The targets
Detecting and Localizing Segment-Level Poisoning in Multi-Source LLM-Agent Inputs
Modern large language model (LLM) agents often construct prompts by aggregating retrieved passages, user reviews, and documents from multiple external sources. This paradigm exposes them to segment-level poisoning attacks
iSeal: Encrypted Fingerprinting for Reliable LLM Ownership Verification

RAG Security and Privacy: Formalizing the Threat Model and Attack Surface
demonstrated that LLMs can leak sensitive information through training data memorization or adversarial prompts, and RAG systems inherit many of these vulnerabilities. At the same time, reliance
