Benchmarking Security Risk Detection and Verification in Open Agentic Skill Ecosystems

Researchers introduce SkillVetBench, a security benchmark for detecting malicious skills in open agent platforms, addressing supply-chain risks in extensible AI ecosystems. The framework combines semantic analysis of skill specifications with runtime execution monitoring in sandboxes, revealing that static-only defenses miss up to 89% of threats hidden in natural-language instructions and multi-component logic.

Correct Code, Vulnerable Dependencies: A Large Scale Measurement Study of LLM-Specified Library Versions

A comprehensive measurement study reveals that large language models frequently specify vulnerable and incompatible library versions in generated Python code, with 36.70%-55.70% of tasks containing known CVEs and 62.75%-74.51% rated as Critical or High severity. The research demonstrates this represents a systemic bias across all evaluated models rather than isolated errors, with most CVEs publicly disclosed before the models' knowledge cutoffs.
