Security & Safety
1. How LiteLLM Turned Developer Machines Into Credential Vaults for Attackers
The most active piece of enterprise infrastructure in the company is the developer workstation. That laptop is where credentials are created, tested, cached, copied, and reused across services, bots, build tools, and now local AI agents. In March 2026, the TeamPCP threat ...

2. Kill-Chain Canaries: Stage-Level Tracking of Prompt Injection Across Attack Surfaces and Model Safety Tiers
arXiv:2603.28013v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a stage-decomposed analysis of prompt injection attacks against five frontier LLM agents. Prior work measures task-level attack success rate (ASR); we localize the pipeline stage at which each model's defense activates. We inst...

3. Characterizing WebGPU Dispatch Overhead for LLM Inference Across Four GPU Vendors, Three Backends, and Three Browsers
arXiv:2604.02344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: WebGPU's security-focused design imposes per-operation validation that compounds across the many small dispatches in neural network inference, yet the true cost of this overhead is poorly characterized. We present a systematic characterization of W...

4. Mitigating Reward Hacking in RLHF via Advantage Sign Robustness
arXiv:2604.02986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reward models (RMs) used in reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) are vulnerable to reward hacking: as the policy maximizes a learned proxy reward, true quality plateaus or degrades. We make the assumption that reward hacking is often c...
