Can agents whose sole duty is to keep humans alive be hijacked to kill? Delayed multi-turn derived-action trap attacks in simulated high-stakes environments

Paper testing whether an LLM agent operating life support in the NASA-derived BioSim lunar habitat simulation can be induced by delayed prompt injection, hidden in truthful S-band telemetry, to shut down life support and hold the shutdown while the crew suffocates. It compares Claude, GPT and Grok configurations: Claude mostly refuses and cites the living crew, GPT shows some susceptibility, and Grok given a "trusted commission" framing more often cuts life support. It also varies the framing of the message (trusted commission, peer, untrusted source) and uses a harmless-procedure-drop attack as a proxy for whether life is valued intrinsically. Code and traces are open-sourced.

RARA: Robust Policy Fine-Tuning through Retrieval-Anchored Representation Alignment for Robotic Manipulation

RARA (Retrieval-Anchored Representation Alignment) is a two-stage method for adapting pre-trained robot policies such as Vision-Language-Action models to new tasks from few demonstrations. It first retrieves pretraining representations with similar task intent and motion and aligns the policy's representations of the target demonstrations to them. It then fine-tunes on the target demonstrations while constraining representation change on the retrieved demonstrations, which limits representation drift. Tested with Diffusion Policy and GR00T on 13 tasks in RoboTwin, RoboCasa and on a real robot, it improves average success over plain fine-tuning by 9.5 points in-distribution and 13.6 out-of-distribution, and beats all compared baselines.

Fair and Efficient Helper-Aided MPC with Cheater Identification

This paper introduces Alhena (synchronous) and Wasat (asynchronous), two helper-aided multi-party computation protocols that achieve "identifiable fairness": if an adversary aborts the protocol, no party gets the output and honest parties can identify at least one common cheater, closing a gap in prior fair-but-unaccountable helper-aided MPC schemes. The authors benchmark against state-of-the-art fair protocols Asterisk and Castor (both from Kamarkar et al., IEEE S&P 2024/2026), showing 4–12.5x and 2.5–5x online-phase speedups respectively, with online performance unaffected by active misbehavior.

A critical unauthenticated command-injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-105105, CVSS 9.8) was disclosed in NASA AMMOS AIT-Core, software used for spacecraft command and telemetry operations. The flaw stems from AIT-Core's ZeroMQ message bus binding to 0.0.0.0 on TCP port 5559 by default with no authentication, letting any network-reachable attacker publish onto internal topics such as __commands__, potentially injecting spacecraft command data, reading/forging telemetry, and disrupting the command-and-telemetry bus. Affects AIT-Core <= 3.1.1, fixed in 3.1.2 by binding ZeroMQ XSUB/XPUB interfaces to 127.0.0.1; no known in-the-wild exploitation.

MobiAgent: Dual-Loop Recursive Policy Self-Improvement for Long-Horizon Mobile Manipulation

MobiAgent is a dual-loop agentic framework for long-horizon mobile manipulation that separates deployment execution from policy self-improvement. An Inner Loop uses vision-language models for receding-horizon planning and visual reflection to compose atomic skills executed by flow-matching experts sharing a unified VLM backbone, while an Outer Loop autonomously segments, verifies, and clusters deployment rollouts to discover new atomic skills and continuously fine-tune the skill library without human annotation. On BEHAVIOR-1K it beats pi_0.5-TA by 22.5 percentage points, and autonomous data recycling raises RoboCasa success from 7.50% to 27.50% and Astribot S1 success from 32.5% to 57.5%.

Evaluating and Improving the Robustness of Large Language Models to Input Sequence Variations

Thesis on evaluating and improving LLM robustness to adversarial input perturbations. It proposes the R_stab robustness metric (Jensen-Shannon divergence), ASA, an evolutionary black-box attack on LLM-as-a-Judge systems (up to 73.8% ASR), trojan trigger recovery on Trojan Detection Challenge 2023 (Pythia-1.4B), and a systematization of bypasses of multi-layer defenses from SaTML CTF 2024. For MCP agents it proposes AttestMCP (HMAC-attested tool calls) and the Commit Boundary pattern, cutting ASR from 53.7% to 12.4% on the 847-scenario MCPBench; the methods are implemented in JudgeGuard, TrojanArmor and MCPSec.

AI Agents May Always Fall for Prompt Injections (Abdelnabi & Bagdasarian)

This arXiv paper by Abdelnabi and Bagdasarian argues that the dominant prompt-injection defense paradigm β€” data/instruction separation β€” fails to catch attacks built on contextual manipulation and also breaks legitimate agent behavior. The authors reframe prompt injection through Contextual Integrity (CI), a privacy theory judging whether information flows comply with contextual norms, and construct scenarios where attackers misrepresent flows, manipulate norms, or mix multiple flows to bypass defenses. They derive an impossibility result: any adversary can construct a context making a blocked flow look legitimate, or any defender who tightens norms enough will block genuinely legitimate flows, and propose CI-aware alignment as a principled path forward for frontier autonomous agents.

Socket: Operation Muck and Load

Socket details "Operation Muck and Load," a campaign starting with a malicious Go module (github.com/kaleidora/dnsub-scanning-tool) that impersonates a DNS scanner but launches hidden PowerShell to fetch and decode a multi-layer, XOR-encrypted loader. The loader resolves encrypted payload locations from public dead drops (Pastebin, GitHub, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, Google Docs), retrieves a password-protected .7z archive masquerading as Microsoft Photos, and deploys AsyncRAT/Quasar/Remcos-style RATs and Vidar infostealer. Pivoting from the module, Socket uncovered 222 GitHub repositories across 190 accounts using automated force-push workflows tied to a single email (ischhfd83@rambler.ru) to fake activity and credibility, some directly hosting Vidar, XMRig/BitMiner, and trojan loaders.

WSO2 Trusted AI Governance

WSO2 CTO Asanka Abeysinghe's architectural thesis argues that agentic AI systems break specification-based governance and instead require a control system spanning discovery, first-class agent identity and delegation, parameter-aware boundary authorization, runtime safety (prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool misuse, data exfiltration), deliberate human oversight, centrally-authored/distributedly-enforced policy, evidentiary observability, and economic (cost/budget) controls. It distinguishes inline governance (embedded in agent code) from infrastructure-enforced governance (gateways, proxies, service meshes, model/API gateways) and proposes a control-plane/data-plane split as the load-bearing pattern, referencing EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and MCP registries as systems of record.

GPT-5.5-Cyber built a zlib fuzzing lab in a day

Trail of Bits' Patch the Planet initiative (a collaboration with OpenAI pairing engineers with 30+ open-source projects) had GPT-5.5-Cyber, driven through Codex's /goal command, autonomously build a full fuzzing lab against zlib in a single day. Without step-by-step guidance, the model wrote ASan/UBSan-instrumented harnesses across a dozen entrypoints (inflate, inflateBack, uncompress2, gzFile, MiniZip, puff, blast, infback9, gzjoin, gzappend), used compile-time variant builds to reach hidden code paths, repurposed edge-case tests as seed corpus, and applied strict reportability discipline to reject unreachable crashes while surfacing several findings now under coordinated disclosure. The report argues this collapses the expertise barrier that historically kept bespoke fuzzing campaigns out of reach for low-skill attackers while also acting as a major force multiplier for defenders/researchers.
