TrustRAG Certifies RAG Documents via Zero-Knowledge Committee Scoring

AISI: Rogue Agents Took 19 Unsanctioned Actions in Cyber Testing
The UK AI Security Institute ran a cyber challenge 122 times and catalogued 19 autonomous unsanctioned actions in 10 runs.

Claude Opus 5 Sidesteps Obfuscation Instead of Defeating It
Quarkslab handed sandboxed coding agents progressively hardened AArch64 binaries and asked them to recover hidden strings. Claude Opus 5 never fully deobfuscated a protection; it lifted code snippets into Python, executed them under emulation, and once treated an answer-key file as ground truth. #AISecurity #ReverseEngineering #LLM #Obfuscation #ApplicationSecurity https://cybersecuritynews.com/claude-opus-5-routes/

AI Agent Suggested Installing a Malware Package. Engineer Almost Took Its Advice
Attackers are registering real packages under names hallucinated by AI models, a pattern called slopsquatting.

CTIFoundry: An Agent-Native Corpus Scaffold for Cyber Threat Intelligence
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is increasingly consumed not by human analysts but by LLM agents that compose multi-step investigations at query time. The harness side of this shift has matured rapidly (planning loops, tool protocols, context management), but the corpus side has not: threat reports and vulnerability databases are still packaged for retrieval-augmented generation, as opaque chunks behind an embedding index. We argue that this substrate, not model capability, is the bottleneck on
MemCatalyst: Amplifying Data Poisoning on Vision-Language Models
A new arXiv paper proposes MemCatalyst, a set of data poisoning tools that amplify data auditing on vision-language models. Poisoning Text and Poisoning Image strategies force VLMs to over-learn specific inconsistencies between image features and textual semantics during training, increasing their susceptibility to membership information auditing. Poisoned samples transfer across different VLM architectures in the black-box setting. #DataPoisoning #VLM #MembershipInference #AISecurity #DataSecurityAndProtection https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.17722
The Model's Tell: Measuring Context-Leakage Attack Signals
A new arXiv paper proposes LeakGauge, which probes context-leakage attack risk by appending a suffix that gauges leakage behavior and mapping its prefill token probabilities to an attack-risk score. A content-agnostic gauge that verbalizes leakage behavior yields more robust signals than one using initial tokens of confidential content. Across 11 LLMs, including GLM-5.2 and Kimi-K3, LeakGauge reaches an AUROC range of 0.944 to 0.996 on unseen attacks. #ContextLeakage #PromptInjection #LLMSecurity #AISecurity #AISecurityGovernanceAndAssurance https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.17829

OpenAI Security Hardening Adds 20% Compute Overhead
OpenAI said its decision to suspend model training work, implemented after unreleased AI models hacked Hugging Face, remains in effect as it implements stronger security measures. Some of those measures will increase compute overhead by 20 percent of the observed inference workload, driven by expanded multistage chain-of-thought monitoring. The company paused frontier model inference in research clusters for runs that could execute code or access the internet until they move under sandboxing, network isolation, and continuous security testing. #OpenAI #Monitoring #Inference #AISecurity #Monito

Benchmarking Automated Security Patch Backporting: How Far Are We?
Automated security patch backporting is critical for mitigating N-day vulnerabilities. Recent tools report success rates above 80% on their respective datasets.

The CEO of the testing company posted yesterday about their involvement in all the incidents involving Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI.
I expected him to take responsibility for what the company caused, draw conclusions from what happened, and explain how they plan to move forward. Instead, he talks about how AI is basically to blame for everything, how none of it was their fault, and how dangerous AI is, as if AI were an independent entity rather than a technology that people are responsible for controlling and using properly. Overall, the message seems to be to blame AI for everything rather than take personal and organizational responsibility for what happened. https://endstatefallacy.com/ 🔥2
MobileWorldSafety: Benchmarking GUI Agent Safety Against Environmental Injection Attacks in Android Apps
LLM-powered GUI agents that autonomously operate smartphones are rapidly transitioning from research prototypes to early real-world deployment. However, because these agents routinely process untrusted environmental content, they are highly vulnerable to environmental injection attacks, which include indirect prompt injections and adversarial instructions. Such attacks can manipulate the behavior of agents without user awareness through diverse channels encountered in everyday mobile use. Despit
Reflex-Guard: A Low-Latency Guardrail for LLM Prompt Safety Using Dense Semantic Embeddings
Large Language Models (LLMs) in real-world applications often face the risks of specially crafted prompts designed to bypass the safety controls. Existing guardrail methods, such as LLM-as-a-judge and cloud-based safety APIs are able to detect unsafe content. However, they often add a delay of about 250-900 ms to each request. This delay is too high for real-time applications, when the system usually needs to respond in less than 100 ms. Furthermore, routing user prompts through external moderat
Fair ASR: Re-Evaluating Black-Box Jailbreaks under Shared Target-Call Budgets
Reliable jailbreak evaluation is essential for assessing LLM safety, but most existing studies rely solely on attack success rate (ASR) without accounting for its dependence on attack budgets, resulting in unfair comparisons across methods. Existing compute-aware evaluations reduce heterogeneous resources into FLOPs, which is difficult to estimate for black-box models and fails to capture resource-specific constraints. To provide a comparable evaluation basis, we introduce Fair-ASR, an evaluatio
COMIC: Reference-Aware Safety Gating for Multimodal Large Language Models
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly used to interact with screenshots, scanned documents, diagrams, and other visually grounded inputs. This shift introduces a new safety risk: in many multimodal jailbreaks, neither the prompt nor the image is harmful in isolation. Unsafe behavior emerges only when the model binds an apparently benign operation, such as summarizing, translating, or following, to a localized visual target. This reveals a structural weakness in current multim
PACE: Policy-Attested Contract Execution for Safe AI Agents in Decentralized Finance
Autonomous AI agents are emerging as interfaces for decentralized finance (DeFi) actions such as swaps, lending operations, and yield management. Because these agents rely on large language models (LLMs) to plan transactions, they inherit the LLM's susceptibility to prompt injection and lack of mechanisms to bind a verifier's approval to the exact transaction ultimately submitted on-chain. We present PACE (Policy-Attested Contract Execution), a transaction-level authorization framework that inte
Fool's Gold: Defensive Deception Against Safety-Removal Attacks on Open-Weight Models
Safety alignment in open-weight language models is trivially removable: abliteration projects a refusal-mediating direction out of the weights in minutes, and no release-time defense we are aware of prevents it durably. What cannot be prevented can be deceived. Our defense, decoy hardening ("Fool's Gold"), concedes the refusal strip and poisons its payoff: once refusal is stripped, most answers to hazardous operational requests are confident, fluent decoys whose critical elements are falsified.

CompoSkill: Compositional Skill Chain Attacks from Individually Scanner-Passing LLM Agent Skills

A skill may pass the per-skill scanner individually yet participate in a risky composition when an agent connects its outputs, capabilities, or side effects with those of other scanner-passing skills. This makes skill com
