VEX-Bench: Benchmarking Verification Complexity of LLM-Generated Misinformation

Hanxun Huang, Yutao Wu, Qizhou Wang +9

Large language models (LLMs) have made misinformation inexpensive to produce but not to verify, creating a growing asymmetry in the information ecosystem. Under tight time, labor,…

Adversarial Attacks for Good: A Survey of Proactive Protection across the Visual Content Lifecycle

Jiaming Zhang, Boyang Chen, Zherui Li +14

Once visual content enters an AI pipeline, its owner often retains little technical control over how it is used. Legal and regulatory remedies can address misuse, but many technica…

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…

When Medical Safety Alignment Fails: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs on High-Risk Medical Queries

Yige Li, Jun Sun, Wei Zhao +5

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for medical and health-related questions, yet their safety in high-risk medical scenarios remains poorly understood. We introduce…

Position: AI Safety Requires Effective Controllability

Yige Li, Yunhao Feng, Jun Sun

AI safety is still largely framed as alignment: training models to follow human preferences, safety policies, and normative constraints. That framing has improved the behavior of m…

Safety in Embodied AI: A Survey of Risks, Attacks, and Defenses

Xiao Li, Xiang Zheng, Yifeng Gao +35

Embodied Artificial Intelligence (Embodied AI) integrates perception, cognition, planning, and interaction into agents that operate in open-world, safety-critical environments. As…

AgentHazard: A Benchmark for Evaluating Harmful Behavior in Computer-Use Agents

Yunhao Feng, Yifan Ding, Yingshui Tan +6

Computer-use agents extend language models from text generation to persistent action over tools, files, and execution environments. Unlike chat systems, they maintain state across…

Backdoor4Good: Benchmarking Beneficial Uses of Backdoors in LLMs

Yige Li, Wei Zhao, Zhe Li +6

Backdoor mechanisms have traditionally been studied as security threats that compromise the integrity of machine learning models. However, the same mechanism -- the conditional act…

Internal Safety Collapse in Frontier Large Language Models

Yutao Wu, Xiao Liu, Yifeng Gao +7

This work identifies a critical failure mode in frontier large language models (LLMs), which we term Internal Safety Collapse (ISC): under certain task conditions, models enter a s…

Toward Universal and Transferable Jailbreak Attacks on Vision-Language Models

Kaiyuan Cui, Yige Li, Yutao Wu +4

Vision-language models (VLMs) extend large language models (LLMs) with vision encoders, enabling text generation conditioned on both images and text. However, this multimodal integ…

BackdoorAgent: A Unified Framework for Backdoor Attacks on LLM-based Agents

Yunhao Feng, Yige Li, Yutao Wu +6

Large language model (LLM) agents execute tasks through multi-step workflows that combine planning, memory, and tool use. While this design enables autonomy, it also expands the at…

Just Ask: Curious Code Agents Reveal System Prompts in Frontier LLMs

Xiang Zheng, Yutao Wu, Hanxun Huang +5

Autonomous code agents built on large language models are reshaping software and AI development through tool use, long-horizon reasoning, and self-directed interaction. However, th…
