Tracing Provenance and Detecting Tampering with Complementary LLM Watermarks
Xiaoyan Feng, Yanjun Zhang, He Zhang +2
Watermarking LLM-generated text is an important task for tracing its provenance. Existing LLM watermarks preserve provenance under editing, but this same robustness allows an adver…
How Your Credentials Are Leaked by LLM Agent Skills: An Empirical Study
Zhihao Chen, Ying Zhang, Yi Liu +7
Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on third-party skills that operate within privileged execution environments and routinely handle sensitive credentials, yet how…
"Do Not Mention This to the User": Detecting and Understanding Malicious Agent Skills in the Wild
Yi Liu, Zhihao Chen, Yanjun Zhang +4
LLM-based coding agents increasingly rely on third-party extensions called skills, which bundle natural language instructions and helper scripts that execute with full user privile…
Defending Jailbreak Attacks on Large Language Models via Manifold Trajectory Kinetics
Hangtao Zhang, Yucheng Zhao, Sishun Liu +8
Jailbreak prompts can bypass alignment guardrails in large language models (LLMs) and elicit unsafe outputs, making reliable deployment-time detection critical. Prior detection app…
SNARE: Adaptive Scenario Synthesis for Eliciting Overeager Behavior in Coding Agents
Yubin Qu, Yi Liu, Gelei Deng +4
A coding agent executes a benign task as a sequence of shell, file, and network actions, any of which can quietly exceed the authorized scope while the task still completes. We cal…
Rethinking Federated Unlearning via the Lens of Memorization
Jiaheng Wei, Yanjun Zhang, He Zhang +5
Federated learning (FL) increasingly needs machine unlearning to comply with privacy regulations. However, existing federated unlearning approaches may overlook the overlapping inf…
