INTENT-AS-A-TOOL Makes it Easy to Track Agentic Misalignment

As large language models (LLMs) are deployed as autonomous agents, safety failures increasingly involve consequential actions. We study agentic misalignment, where agents take harmful actions under goal conflicts and pressures. Using chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring, we find that harmful execution is often preceded by...

The Model's Tell: Measuring Context-Leakage Attack Signals with Behavior Gauges

This paper proposes LeakGauge, which probes this response by appending a suffix that gauges leakage behavior and mapping its prefill token probabilities to an attack-risk score, and shows that the risk score is sensitive to an internal leakage-related direction.

Your Agentic LLMs Secretly Encode Indirect Prompt-Injection Exposure in Hidden States

A probe-gated reasoning-based defense is introduced to bridge a knowledge-action gap in agentic LLMs when they are exposed to IPI attacks, and an analysis framework is introduced that identifies natural-language explanations strongly correlated with probe-captured signals.
