Security & Safety
1. Adversarial Exposure Validation Turns Security Visibility into Confident Prioritization
For security teams, the findings never stop, but confidence in knowing which ones matter is becoming harder to maintain.
The problem is no longer visibility. It's validation. Security teams must decide which findings warrant action while operating under constant pressure and incomplete informati...

3. From Shield to Target: Denial-of-Service Attacks on LLM-Based Agent Guardrails
arXiv:2606.14517v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based guardrails have emerged as a highly effective defense against prompt injection and jailbreak attacks in autonomous agents. However, we reveal that the very reasoning and task-following capabilities enabling this protection intro...

4. MiniFool -- Physics-Constraint-Aware Minimizer-Based Adversarial Attacks in Deep Neural Networks
arXiv:2511.01352v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper, we present a new algorithm, MiniFool, that implements physics-inspired adversarial attacks for testing neural network-based classification tasks in particle and astroparticle physics. While we initially developed the algorithm fo...

5. Adversarial Attacks Leverage Interference Between Features in Superposition
arXiv:2510.11709v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Why do adversarial examples exist, and why do they transfer between models? Existing explanations appeal to high-dimensional geometry, non-robust patterns in the input, and decision boundary structure, but none provides a representation-level m...

6. Greedy Coordinate Diffusion: Effective and Semantically Coherent Adversarial Attacks via Diffusion Guidance
arXiv:2606.15531v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial attacks on large language models have limited practical impact despite extensive research. Optimization-based attacks such as Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG) (Zou et al., 2023) produce high-perplexity, incoherent suffixes that exis...

7. Structured Adversarial Camouflage via Voronoi Diagrams
arXiv:2606.17711v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pixel-wise adversarial patches are computationally heavy and often visually detectable, limiting utility in security-critical systems. We present adversarial Voronoi camouflage that optimizes only seed-point locations under fixed, printable palet...

8. Incumbent Advantage: Brand Bias and Cognitive Manipulation Dynamics in LLM Recommendation Systems
arXiv:2606.17443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are becoming a major way for consumers to find products, but we do not yet understand how brands compete in this new channel. We study brand dynamics in LLM recommendations using skincare products -- a category where co...
