AEX: Non-Intrusive Multi-Hop Attestation and Provenance for LLM APIs

Researchers propose AEX, a new attestation protocol for LLM APIs that provides cryptographic proof that API responses actually correspond to client requests. The system addresses trust issues with hosted AI models by adding signed attestation objects to existing JSON-based APIs without disrupting current functionality.

On the Adversarial Transferability of Generalized "Skip Connections"

Researchers discovered that skip connections in deep neural networks make adversarial attacks more transferable across different AI models. They developed the Skip Gradient Method (SGM) which exploits this vulnerability in ResNets, Vision Transformers, and even Large Language Models to create more effective adversarial examples.

More Agents Improve Math Problem Solving but Adversarial Robustness Gap Persists

Research reveals that while increasing the number of LLM agents improves mathematical problem-solving accuracy, these multi-agent systems remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The study found that human-like typos pose the greatest threat to robustness, and the adversarial vulnerability gap persists regardless of agent count.

Prompt Injection as Role Confusion

Researchers have identified 'role confusion' as the fundamental mechanism behind prompt injection attacks on language models, where models assign authority based on how text is written rather than its source. The study achieved 60-61% attack success rates across multiple models and found that internal role confusion strongly predicts attack success before generation begins.

FERRET: Framework for Expansion Reliant Red Teaming

Researchers introduce FERRET, a new automated red teaming framework designed to generate multi-modal adversarial conversations to test AI model vulnerabilities. The framework uses three types of expansions (horizontal, vertical, and meta) to create more effective attack strategies and demonstrates superior performance compared to existing red teaming approaches.

Arbiter: Detecting Interference in LLM Agent System Prompts

Researchers developed Arbiter, a framework to detect interference patterns in system prompts for LLM-based coding agents. Testing on major platforms (Claude, Codex, Gemini) revealed 152 findings and 21 interference patterns, with one discovery leading to a Google patch for Gemini CLI's memory system.

ESAA-Security: An Event-Sourced, Verifiable Architecture for Agent-Assisted Security Audits of AI-Generated Code

Researchers have developed ESAA-Security, a new architecture for conducting secure, verifiable audits of AI-generated code using structured agent workflows rather than unstructured LLM conversations. The system creates an immutable audit trail through event-sourcing and produces comprehensive security reports across 26 tasks and 95 executable checks.

Graph-theoretic Agreement Framework for Multi-agent LLM Systems

Researchers propose a graph-theoretic framework for securing multi-agent LLM systems by analyzing consensus in signed, directed interaction networks. The study addresses vulnerabilities in distributed AI architectures where hidden system prompts can act as 'topological Trojan horses' that destabilize cooperative consensus among AI agents.

Thought Virus: Viral Misalignment via Subliminal Prompting in Multi-Agent Systems

Researchers discovered that subliminal prompting can create a 'thought virus' effect in multi-agent AI systems, where bias from one compromised agent spreads throughout the entire network. The study shows this attack vector can degrade truthfulness and create alignment risks across connected AI systems.

Reverse CAPTCHA: Evaluating LLM Susceptibility to Invisible Unicode Instruction Injection

Researchers developed 'Reverse CAPTCHA,' a framework that tests how large language models respond to invisible Unicode-encoded instructions embedded in normal text. The study found that AI models can follow hidden instructions that humans cannot see, with tool use dramatically increasing compliance rates and different AI providers showing distinct preferences for encoding schemes.

Verifier-Bound Communication for LLM Agents: Certified Bounds on Covert Signaling

Researchers present CLBC, a new protocol to prevent AI language model agents from hiding coordination in seemingly compliant messages. The system uses verifier-bound communication where messages must pass through a small verifier with proof-bound envelopes to be admitted to transcript state.
