HarnessSecurity-Bench: Do Security Mechanisms Really Protect Coding Agent Harnesses?

arXiv:2610.07639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agent harnesses mediate tool use and authorize actions, yet their security mechanisms and runtime effects remain incompletely characterized. We present HarnessSecurity, the first systematic empirical study and benchmark of open- and closed-source coding agent harnesses. First, we derive a ten-mechanism taxonomy and then assess 400 harness-mech

Surviving the Router: Optimizing Skill Injections for Retrieval and Execution

arXiv:2610.08098v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly rely on modular third-party "skills" that are dynamically selected by skill routers to execute complex tasks. While recent studies highlight the threat of prompt injections embedded in these skills, existing evaluations often assume settings where the malicious skill is already selected for execution. We show that this assumpti

Semantic Behavioral Watermarking: Paraphrase-Robust and Forgery-Resistant Provenance for LLM Agents

arXiv:2610.08668v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Behavioral watermarking embeds an owner identifier in an LLM agent's high-level action choices, giving provenance without touching output tokens. Prior agent watermarks break in two ways. First, all three prior schemes bind the watermark to the exact action symbol, so renaming a tool desynchronizes decoding even when the observation is untouched; in

CLEAR: Causal Context-Based Agentic Reasoning for Vulnerability Detection

arXiv:2608.03134v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Detecting source code vulnerabilities is increasingly difficult as modern security flaws are rooted in complex causal dependencies between execution flows, control conditions, and program states. Despite recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-agent frameworks, existing approaches primarily address superficial similarities betwe

quantum-safe: Bridging the Post-Quantum Production Gap with a Hybrid-by-Default Python Cryptography Library

arXiv:2605.17061v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: FIPS 203, 204 and 205 closed the algorithmic gap in post-quantum cryptography (PQC); the production gap -- hybrid combiners, conformance evidence, migration tooling, stateful signing, protocol helpers -- remains open. A methodology that scores it must not choose its own dimensions, so we anchor nine to external requirements (CNSA 2.0, CMVP, the T

Efficient and Implementation-Hardened RBLWE on Commodity Cortex-M Microcontrollers

arXiv:2610.07820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient post-quantum cryptography on resource-constrained Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices requires implementations that exploit the target processor architecture while resisting practical implementation attacks.

Explainable Rule Mining of IPv6 Extension-Header Presence Patterns from Paired-Vantage Captures

arXiv:2610.08090v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: IPv6 extension headers (EHs), such as fragmentation, segment routing, and in-situ telemetry, are operationally important yetwidely dropped in transit, and characterising their behaviour from packet captures is a recurring measurement problem. We ask whetheran explainable miner can recover human-readable rules of EH behaviour, and we contribute two re

Pauli Error Composition Determines the Multipartite Advantage in Conference Key Agreement

arXiv:2610.07251v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GHZ-based conference key agreement distributes a shared key to $N$ parties in one network use, whereas pairwise BB84 needs $N-1$. The survival of that advantage has been studied against party number, loss, and topology, but almost always with the channel fixed at depolarizing. Simulating both protocols exactly for $N = 3, 4, 5$ under dephasing, amp

What Response Marginals Miss: Adaptive Query Complexity of Functional Backdoor Recovery

arXiv:2610.07771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional backdoor recovery finds any trigger whose attack success rate is at least a given threshold rather than to recover the planted trigger. We study the minimum number of queries required for this task under label feedback which returns the predicted class label. We construct two finite families of victim models that have exactly the same atta

Contextual Chain: Lightweight Continuity Authentication for Intermittently Connected Devices

Contextual Chain is a lightweight continuity protocol for intermittently connected devices that share evolving physical or operational context. An honest device follows one realized history, updating a compact accumulator and fixed hash-based readiness lane

What Users See Is Not What Models Read: Split-View PDFs in Document-to-LLM Supply Chains

arXiv:2606.15020v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Document-to-LLM applications typically read uploaded PDFs by first translating them into text through an extraction layer whose output is not ordinarily exposed to users. We show that this layer enables split-view PDFs: one document can have two semantic views before model reasoning. By mining specification-permitted or implementation-tolerated r

Black Hole Radiation Decoding in the Haar Random Oracle Model

Recovery with any constant Haar-averaged advantage over trivial decoding requires queries proportional to the Hilbert-space dimension of the remai

When Tools Lie: Reliability of Mathematical Agents Under Corrupted Tool Feedback

Yet tools can fail silently, returning plausible but incorrect results. How well can agents detect and correct corrupted tool call outputs? We study this through a controlled corruption framework where a hidden interceptor

Moreover, this paradigm of watermarking approaches may suffer from inherent limitations arising from the domain in which the watermark is embe

Case-Level Verification in Scanner-LLM Cascades: Overcoming the Alert Aggregation Bottleneck to Expand the FRR-TPR Trade-off Space

Large Language Models (LLMs), when used for independent detection, achieve extremely high recall (95.4%-100%) but also exhibit prohibitively high false positive rates (49.6%-85.0%),

While there are many variations of ELFs with additional properties, every construction (excluding obfuscation) has followed essentially the same template of bootstrapping from a sequence of ELFs secure only ag

Where Rules End and Judges Begin: Measuring the Judgment Boundary in Multi-Agent Systems Security

Current defenses for MAS are typically evaluated in isolation, focusing on one attack type at a time, which can lead to costly and hard-to-audit outcomes.
