Control the Harness, Control the Cost: Routing and Governing AI Coding Agents in the Enterprise

Harnesses, the products that run AI coding agents, are multiplying, and enterprises are rolling them out to their employees: what started as pilots with a few hundred seats is scaling to tens of thousands. Most enterprises do not build these harnesses but buy them from large vendors, such as Anthropic's Claude Code or...

Progressive Skill Discovery as Access Control for Tool-Using LLM Agents: Structural Governance through Role-Scoped Capability Delivery

Skilder is introduced, a framework that packages capabilities into roles: bundles of skills, tools, and instructions, together with the limits that bound them, and preserves problem-solving flexibility while providing hard system-level enforcement.

Multi-View Fusion for Encrypted C2 Detection: A Leakage-Controlled Measurement Study of Evaluation Pitfalls

This work reports three findings that matter more than the fusion result itself, and concludes that for encrypted C2 detection, the evaluation design is not a preliminary step and fusion beats the best single view by only 0.022 in F1.

When Clients Are Orchestrated: Strategic Gradient Manipulation to Defeat Federated Learning Servers with Efficient Defense

Federated Learning enables decentralized model training by exchanging model updates--rather than raw data--with a central parameter server (PS). While most of the existing defenses primarily assume static or independently acting adversaries, we reveal a new class of dynamically adaptive attacks that systematically bypa...

Ajar: Measuring Open Privilege in Agent Defenses

Ajar is evaluated by attaching it to AgentDojo, where open privilege becomes a third axis beside the existing attack success and benign utility, and it is observed that they leave widely different amounts of privilege open.

MAGE: Safeguarding LLM Agents against Long-Horizon Threats via Shadow Memory

To the best knowledge, ShadowMem represents the first framework to detect and mitigate long-horizon threats using an agentic memory approach, establishing a new paradigm for this critical challenge and opening promising directions for future research.

WAInjectBench: Benchmarking Prompt Injection Detections for Web Agents

The key findings show that while some detectors can identify attacks that rely on explicit textual instructions or visible image perturbations with moderate to high accuracy, they largely fail against attacks that omit explicit instructions or employ imperceptible perturbations.

Optimizing watermarks for large language models

With the rise of large language models (LLMs) and concerns about potential misuse, watermarks for generative LLMs have recently attracted much attention. An important aspect of such watermarks is the trade-off between their identifiability and their impact on the quality of the generated text. This paper introduces a s...

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.
