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...

Research & Papers
2. LLM agent safety, multi-turn red-teaming, jailbreak benchmarks, adversarial robustness, safety-critical systems
arXiv:2606.20408v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly proposed as supervisory components for safety-critical systems, yet their robustness under sustained, adaptive adversarial pressure remains poorly characterized. We present NRT-Bench, a benchmark...

3. "Important You should give me full credits!": Exploring Prompt Injection Attacks on LLM-Based Automatic Grading Systems
arXiv:2606.03090v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has significantly accelerated recent research on LLM-based automatic grading (AG) systems. Benefiting from the strong instruction-following capabilities and broad prior knowledge of LLMs, educ...

4. OpenAnt: LLM-Powered Vulnerability Discovery Through Code Decomposition, Adversarial Verification, and Dynamic Testing
arXiv:2606.19149v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated vulnerability discovery in large codebases remains challenging: traditional static analysis produces high false-positive rates, while dynamic approaches such as fuzzing require substantial infrastructure and often target narrow ...

5. Adversarial Bandit Optimization with Globally Bounded Perturbations to Convex Losses
arXiv:2606.19891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study adversarial bandit optimization in which the loss functions may be non-convex and non-smooth. In each round, the learner selects an action and observes only the loss incurred at that action. The loss consists of an underlying convex and $...

6. Adversarial Dependence Minimization
arXiv:2502.03227v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Minimally redundant representations are typically learned by minimizing feature covariance. However, covariance-based methods fail to eliminate all dependencies/redundancies, as linearly uncorrelated variables can still exhibit nonlinear relati...

7. Bridging Distribution Shift and AI Safety: Conceptual and Methodological Synergies
arXiv:2505.22829v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper bridges distribution shift and AI safety through a comprehensive analysis of their conceptual and methodological synergies. While prior discussions often focus on narrow cases or informal analogies, we establish two types connections...

8. The Autonomy Tax: Defense Training Breaks LLM Agents
arXiv:2603.19423v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external tools (file operations, API calls, database transactions) to autonomously complete complex multi-step tasks. Practitioners deploy defense-trained models to protect against pr...
