Security & Safety
1. ThreatsDay: Android Spyware, PLC Attacks, AI Image Prompt Injection + 12 More Stories
Most of this week's trouble came dressed as something useful.
A package stole data. A fake extension opened remote access. A safety app became spyware. An image gave hidden orders to an AI agent. Other threats hid in open systems, weak code, and normal network traffic.
The threats change ever...

Research & Papers
3. Towards an Automated Test of LLM Security Knowledge
arXiv:2607.18496v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for a range of software, hardware and human-centered security tasks. Consequently, LLM performance on security tasks is an active area of measurement and research, often with a focus on i...

4. Geometric Configurations of Perturbed Jailbreak Prompts
arXiv:2607.20581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Perturbation techniques that turn unsuccessful jailbreak prompts into successful ones are continuously evolving, constituting a major security threat to LLM safety. In this paper, we investigate the internal representations of such string-level p...

5. Isolating LLM Alignment from Regex: Zero Coverage and Metric-Dependent Divergence Under Adversarial Mutation
arXiv:2607.20494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Production LLM applications commonly stack a regex filter in front of model-side alignment; prior work found no measurable coverage gain from adding a live Gemini backend behind an active regex filter. We ask whether that ceiling holds when the c...

6. PISmith: Reinforcement Learning-based Red Teaming for Prompt Injection Defenses
arXiv:2603.13026v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Prompt injection poses serious security risks to real-world LLM applications, particularly autonomous agents. Although many defenses have been proposed, their robustness against adaptive attacks remains insufficiently evaluated, potentially cre...

7. Uncertainty-Aware Trust Estimation for Multi-LLM Systems via Structured Expert Judgement
arXiv:2607.20529v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) ensembles are increasingly used to improve reliability by combining predictions from multiple LLMs. However, existing aggregation methods typically assume that all models are equally trustworthy, overlooking differences i...

8. Automated Synthesis and Adversarial Validation of Executable Causal Research Pipelines
arXiv:2607.21173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While automated research systems promise to accelerate empirical analysis, they are prone to silent failures: instances in which analysis code executes successfully yet relies on invalid causal assumptions. We present the Artificial Intelligence (A...
