MMSkillRisk: Can Agents Stay Safe When Multimodal Skills Become Traps?
Lingqi Jiang, Jialuo Chen, Jianan Ma +8
Agent skills are shareable packages of procedural instructions, tools, and examples. Multimodal skills additionally include visual references that agents retrieve and inspect durin…
When Experience Becomes Instruction: Trajectory Poisoning in Self-Evolving Agent Skill Systems
Jialuo Chen, Lingqi Jiang, Xinhao Deng +7
Self-evolving skill (SES) systems distill agent trajectories into persistent skills, allowing untrusted experience to become trusted instruction. We introduce PoisonedEvolution, a…
BraveGuard: From Open-World Threats to Safer Computer-Use Agents
Yunhao Feng, Xiaohu Du, Xinhao Deng +13
Computer-use agents extend language models from text generation to sustained interaction with files, terminals, browsers, and external tools. This shift creates safety risks that a…
ASEval: Automated Trajectory-Level Security Testing for Autonomous Agents
Jianan Ma, Xiaohu Du, Ruixiao Lin +9
As autonomous agents (e.g., OpenClaw) increasingly operate with deep system-level privileges to execute complex tasks, they introduce severe, unmitigated security risks. Existing L…
Taming OpenClaw: Security Analysis and Mitigation of Autonomous LLM Agent Threats
Xinhao Deng, Yixiang Zhang, Jiaqing Wu +15
Autonomous Large Language Model (LLM) agents, exemplified by OpenClaw, demonstrate remarkable capabilities in executing complex, long-horizon tasks. However, their tightly coupled…
