ContextLeak: Exfiltrating LLM Agent Context via Malicious Tools

Yuqi Jia, Ruiqi Wang, Patrick Li +3

Exfiltrating an LLM agent's runtime context -- such as the user prompt, execution trajectory, and tool list -- poses severe security and privacy risks to users. Such attacks can be…

Visual Contrastive Self-Distillation

Yijun Liang, Yunjie Tian, Yijiang Li +5

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) removes the external teacher required by on-policy distillation (OPD), but still needs asymmetric information between teacher and student so that…

Measuring Real-World Prompt Injection Attacks in LLM-based Resume Screening

Mohan Zhang, Yuqi Jia, Zhen Tan +4

LLMs are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. However, this vulnerability has been primarily demonstrated conceptually in academic studies or through a few anecdotal case studie…

Evaluating Tool Cloning in Agentic-AI Ecosystems

Taein Kim, David Jiang, Yuepeng Hu +2

Agent tools are becoming a core interface through which LLM agents access external data, services, and execution environments. As these tools are distributed through public marketp…

AlignSentinel: Alignment-Aware Detection of Prompt Injection Attacks

Yuqi Jia, Ruiqi Wang, Xilong Wang +2

Prompt injection attacks insert malicious instructions into an LLM's input to steer it toward an attacker-chosen task instead of the intended one. Existing detection defenses typic…

MalTool: Malicious Tool Attacks on LLM Agents

Yuepeng Hu, Yuqi Jia, Mengyuan Li +2

In a malicious tool attack, an attacker uploads a malicious tool to a distribution platform; once a user inadvertently installs the tool and the LLM agent selects it during task ex…

ObliInjection: Order-Oblivious Prompt Injection Attack to LLM Agents with Multi-source Data

Reachal Wang, Yuqi Jia, Neil Zhenqiang Gong

Prompt injection attacks aim to contaminate the input data of an LLM to mislead it into completing an attacker-chosen task instead of the intended task. In many applications and ag…

Explore Data Left Behind in Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning Language Models

Chenxi Liu, Junjie Liang, Yuqi Jia +4

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as an effective approach for improving the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs). The Group Relative…

Tracing Back the Malicious Clients in Poisoning Attacks to Federated Learning

Yuqi Jia, Minghong Fang, Hongbin Liu +2

Poisoning attacks compromise the training phase of federated learning (FL) such that the learned global model misclassifies attacker-chosen inputs called target inputs. Existing de…
