Defense-as-Skill: Evolving Runtime Guard Skill for Skill-Augmented Agents

This work proposes Defense-as-Skill, a defense paradigm that implements the runtime guard itself as an installable, inspectable, and editable skill, and demonstrates transfer across victim models, held-out risk families, and external benchmarks, as well as retained protection against adaptive attackers.

When Safety Routing Breaks: Understanding Alignment Fragility under Benign Fine-Tuning

Overall, safety failure is best understood as a disruption of a low-rank output-routing mechanism, and it is shown that LoRA and ASAM mitigate early collapse by suppressing output-side sharpness, but their protection weakens at larger fine-tuning scales.

Position Matters: Feature Inversion Attacks in ViT Split Inference with Token Reduction and Shuffling

This work shows that, despite disrupting the spatial structure required by conventional reconstruction attacks, transmitted token embeddings retain substantial positional information, and introduces the Spatially Aligned Reconstruction Attack (SARA), a unified pipeline that predicts token positions, restores their spat...

Who Judges the Judges? A Chinese Safety QA Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Responses and Safety Judges

C-SafeQA, a policy-grounded benchmark for response-level Chinese safety evaluation, is introduced, with substantial trade-offs between unsafe-response recall and risk-query-conditioned safe-response false positive rate.

Athena: Vulnerability-Affected Library Identification via Knowledge Graph Completion

Athea, the first graph-based approach for vulnerability affected library identification, is proposed, which models vulnerability databases as a knowledge graph and reformulates the identification problem as knowledge graph completion (KGC).

HiveTraceGuard-Pro: A Compact Generative Guardrail for Prompt Injection, Jailbreaks, and Adversarial Obfuscation

This work presents HiveTraceGuard-Pro, a 0.6B generative guardrail LoRA-tuned from Qwen3-0.6B that has the highest clean Russian robustness combined-F1 and Russian prompt-injection recall and releases the merged weights on Hugging Face under Apache-2.0.

Differentially Private Paired Table-Image Multimodal Synthesis

DP-TabImage is proposed, a modality-specialized framework for private paired synthesis that achieves a strong balance among tabular fidelity, image fidelity, and cross-modal alignment and reveals that visual warm-up primarily improves marginal image fidelity, whereas aligned table-image warm-up is critical for improvin...

SoK: When Safe Agents Fail Together: The Security of Multi Agent LLM Systems

This work systematizes MAS security through an execution-centered analysis of 197 works, introducing an A-I-R framework that organizes attacks by adversary position, interaction interface, and resulting system-level risk, unifying otherwise fragmented attack mechanisms across MAS.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
