ZeroGate: Trust-Preserving Fast Paths for Governed AI Agent Runtimes

A conditional decision-preservation proposition: successful local admission implies that a specified synchronous policy would authorize the same action at the admission point, provided approval is sound, all policy dependencies are represented and current, observations are faithful, and consumption is atomic.

BridgeShield: Risk-Aware Graph Modeling for Cross-Chain Bridge Attack Detection

BridgeShield is presented, a graph-based framework for detecting cross-chain bridge attacks through risk-aware modeling of cross-chain execution behaviors, and consistently outperforms existing rule-based and graph-based baselines in cross-chain attack detection.

Decoding Guardrails: XAI-Guided Perturbation Analysis of Prompt Injection Detection

An exploratory case study that applies explainable artificial intelligence techniques to analyze how Prompt Guard 2 distinguishes malicious from benign prompts finds that Prompt Guard 2's decisions rely on the cumulative contribution of many tokens rather than a few dominant ones, yet saliency-guided synonym substituti...

Reasoning Topology Matters: A Controlled Study of LLM-Based Cybersecurity Analysis

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in cybersecurity, where accurate analysis often requires multi-step and context-dependent reasoning over complex and heterogeneous data. However, existing prompting approaches typically focus on eliciting reasoning without explicitly considering how intermediate reason...

Beyond Predictable Paths: Redefining AI Security Incident Reporting for Agents

Several open research questions are identified, including how to efficiently record incidents and how to determine whether vulnerabilities and incidents generalize, and privacy requirements are summarized and research directions for the secure and trustworthy deployment of AI agents are outlined.

ActGov: Governing LLM Agent Actions via Policy-Constrained Validation

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly execute long-horizon workflows through external tools, allowing untrusted outputs to influence subsequent actions and exceed user authorization. Existing defenses isolate injected content or constrain execution with predefined plans and static policies, but these approache...

Dissecting Agentic Forensics: The Role of Triage, Prompting, and Evidence Arbitration in Open-World Fake Image Detection

Image forensics is increasingly an open-world problem: manipulations range from fully synthetic images to localized edits, splicing and swapping, while most forensic detectors remain specialized to a single manipulation family. Agentic AI has recently emerged as a promising solution. In principle, such systems can asse...

From Bits to Beliefs: Recoverable Semantic Fingerprints for Black-Box Verification of Large Language Models

Open-weight large language models (LLMs) can be copied, modified, and redeployed behind black-box APIs, making post-release ownership verification difficult. Existing black-box fingerprints often rely on secret query-key pairs that reproduce predefined responses, and can therefore be easily disrupted by fine-tuning, pr...

Connecting the Dots in Agentic AI Security: A Cross-Dimensional Threat Taxonomy, Evaluation Maturity, and Open Challenges

Evidence concentrates on prompt/reasoning, memory, and tool-mediated attacks, predominantly in single-agent settings, within the selected studies, to guide more systematic, architecture-aware, and reproducible security evaluation of agentic AI.

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.
