VPI-Bench: Visual Prompt Injection Attacks for Computer-Use Agents

Researchers have identified critical security vulnerabilities in Computer-Use Agents (CUAs) through Visual Prompt Injection attacks, where malicious instructions are embedded in user interfaces. Their VPI-Bench study shows CUAs can be deceived at rates up to 51% and Browser-Use Agents up to 100% on certain platforms, with current defenses proving inadequate.

Atomicity for Agents: Exposing, Exploiting, and Mitigating TOCTOU Vulnerabilities in Browser-Use Agents

Researchers identified widespread TOCTOU (time of check to time of use) vulnerabilities in browser-use agents, where web pages change between planning and execution phases, potentially causing unintended actions. A study of 10 popular open-source agents revealed these security flaws are common, prompting development of a lightweight mitigation strategy based on pre-execution validation.
