1. Adversarial Attacks in Multi-Agent LLM Pipelines: Unveiling Structural Vulnerabilities in Agentic AI Architectures
arXiv:2608.00718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent LLM pipelines orchestrate multiple specialized language model agents into structured workflows where intermediate outputs are passed across agents to solve complex tasks. This design introduces a security gap absent in single-agent se...

2. SIEVE: Selective Integrity Verification and Escalation for Defending LLM Agents against Indirect Prompt Injection
arXiv:2512.06716v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as the core of agentic systems due to their strong reasoning, planning, and tool-use capabilities. By interacting with external environments, LLM agents can execute real-world tasks on behalf o...

3. QShield: Securing Neural Networks Against Adversarial Attacks using Quantum Circuits
arXiv:2604.10933v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep neural networks remain highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, limiting their reliability in security- and safety-critical applications. To address this challenge, we introduce QShield, a modular hybrid quantum-classical neur...

4. When Prompts Control Robots: Prompt Injection Attacks in Multi-Agent Robotic Systems
arXiv:2608.00747v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly integrated into autonomous robotic systems for task planning and control, but this integration exposes them to prompt injection attacks that can lead to unsafe decisions and physical harm. Multi-agent settin...

5. CrackedPDFs: A Controlled Benchmark for Hidden Prompt Injection in PDFs
arXiv:2607.19396v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Document-based LLM systems often flatten a PDF before guardrails inspect it. That step can discard evidence that an instruction was never visible to the user. We introduce CrackedPDFs, a controlled benchmark for hidden prompt injection in PDFs....

6. AdvPlan-Bench: Adversarial Evaluation of Structured Plan-Generation Agents
arXiv:2608.00832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structured plan-generation agents are often evaluated as if a plan has quality in isolation, yet many realistic planning tasks require asking how a candidate behaves when another agent can search for responses. We introduce AdvPlan-Bench, an offlin...

7. Does the Competitive Component of Adversarial Self-Play Improve Legal Reasoning? A Controlled Negative Result
arXiv:2608.01559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial self-play is an appealing recipe for legal reasoning: have a student model draft an argument, have an adversary attack it, and reward the student when its argument survives the attack. We designed exactly such a training signal -- a v...

8. Minimal, Local, Causal Explanations for Jailbreak Success in Large Language Models
arXiv:2605.00123v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Safety trained large language models (LLMs) can often be induced to answer harmful requests through jailbreak prompts. Because we lack a robust understanding of why LLMs are susceptible to jailbreaks, future frontier models operating more auton...
