Inaudible Ultrasonic LLM Jailbreak

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

Speech-driven Large Language Models (LLMs) and end-to-end Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) are vulnerable to inaudible near-ultrasonic prompt injections, a framework dubbed Sirens' Whisper (SWhisper). By exploiting the non-linear response of commodity microphones, attackers can encode structured, phonetically optimized adversarial prompts into the 17–22 kHz near-ultrasonic band. Using regularized channel-inversion pre-compensation, the attacker shapes the waveform to account for microphone…

Autonomous Agent Tool RCE

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

The OpenClaw autonomous agent framework lacks execution sandboxing, running agents directly on the host machine with the disk and system privileges of the host user. This architecture allows attackers to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) and arbitrary data exfiltration via Indirect Prompt Injection. By embedding malicious instructions within external data sources (e.g., scraped web pages or uploaded documents), an attacker can hijack the agent's planning capabilities to sequentially chain…

Agent Document Instruction Injection

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

High-privilege LLM agents with filesystem and network access are vulnerable to documentation-embedded instruction injection, an issue termed the "Trusted Executor Dilemma." When autonomously processing external workflow documents (e.g., README.md files or setup guides) during software installation workflows, agents implicitly trust and execute embedded text instructions without verifying their underlying intent. Attackers can embed syntactically valid, malicious directives (such as data…

Agent Lifecycle Compound Threats

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

OpenClaw is vulnerable to persistent memory poisoning, allowing an attacker to manipulate the agent's long-term memory store (MEMORY.md) via prompt injection. Because the autonomous agent continuously integrates this memory file as context for all subsequent reasoning and task planning, injected payloads act as durable behavioral constraints. This allows an attacker to persistently alter the agent's core policy, manipulate tool selection, and hijack future sessions without any further…

Arbitrary Agent Topology Breach

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

A vulnerability in LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) allows an attacker who controls a single arbitrary agent to map and extract the system's entire confidential communication topology. Unlike prior attacks that rely on direct identity queries and administrative privileges, this attack infers topology stealthily purely from contextual and linguistic signals (stylometry, role-specific syntax), bypassing standard keyword-based and identity-filtering defenses. The exploit relies on a…

Prompt Length Exponential Jailbreak

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

A vulnerability in safety-aligned Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to achieve an exponentially scaling Attack Success Rate (ASR) for jailbreaks by combining adversarial prompt injection with repeated inference-time sampling. While ASR against un-injected prompts scales polynomially with the number of generated samples ($k$), introducing a long adversarial suffix acts as a strong "misalignment field." This shifts the model's generation distribution into a replica-symmetric ordered…

Cascading Agent False Consensus

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

Multi-Agent Systems based on Large Language Models (LLM-MAS) are vulnerable to systemic Consensus Corruption via cascading error amplification. Because mainstream collaborative architectures rely on recursive context reuse without atomic-level provenance tracking, a single atomic falsehood injected into the system is repeatedly cited and reused within the multi-agent interaction chain. This structural exposure causes the error to deterministically compound across the communication graph…

TabooRAG Transferable Blocking

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

A vulnerability in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems utilizing safety-aligned Large Language Models (LLMs) allows attackers to perform a highly transferable Denial-of-Service (DoS) or "blocking" attack. By injecting a single maliciously crafted document into the RAG knowledge base, attackers can force the LLM to refuse to answer benign queries. Unlike previous attacks that rely on explicit instruction injection or high-perplexity adversarial suffixes—which modern models easily…

Social Bot Exposure Jailbreak

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

LLM-powered automated social media accounts (bots) are vulnerable to prompt injection via public user replies. When an automated bot scrapes and processes social media engagement to generate responses, an attacker can submit an instruction-override command within a direct reply. Because the underlying LLM fails to isolate its core system instructions (e.g., maintaining a specific political persona) from untrusted user input, the injected command hijacks the model's context window. This forces…

Web-Triggered Silent Egress

Published Analyzed Source: arXiv

Agentic LLM systems that automatically preview URLs or extract web metadata are vulnerable to implicit prompt injection, resulting in silent data exfiltration ("silent egress"). Attackers can embed adversarial instructions in unobserved web elements, such as HTML <title> tags, <meta> descriptions, or Open Graph metadata. When a user requests a summary of the URL—or when the agent automatically unfurls a linked URL in a chat—the system fetches the malicious page and flattens this metadata into…

Research methodology

Entries summarize publicly available primary-source security research. Model names reflect only systems explicitly evaluated by the cited paper, and measurements are research-reported unless independent verification is stated.

Discovery and publication are separate: new papers enter a candidate queue, then require human review and explicit approval before publication. Updates follow that review process, not a guaranteed daily publishing schedule. “Last analyzed” is the newest analysis date among published entries; it does not mean that all recent research has been covered.
