ResumeShield: Channel Separation and an Open Benchmark for Indirect Prompt Injection in AI Resume Screening

An AI resume screener reads a document supplied by the person it is evaluating, inverting the usual trust relationship between an assessor and the material it assesses. Candidates exploit this by concealing instructions inside a resume using white text, zero font size, hidden elements, markup comments, document metadat...

Cyber Exodus: Burnout Symptoms, Exit Intention, and Peer Response in Online Cybersecurity Communities

Mental distance, a loss of belief that the work is worthwhile, is the only symptom unrelated to operational problems, and among posts with a single symptom it is accompanied by a stated intention to leave roughly twice as often as any other.

SoK: Reconstruction Attacks on Synthetic Tabular Data (Insights from Winning the NIST CRC)

The choice of SDG method governs risk far more than the choice of attack; differential privacy reduces reconstruction steadily up to epsilon approximately 10, above which reconstruction risk levels off for all six DP mechanisms; de-identification methods are the most exposed, with diffusion the only synthesizer close b...

Automated Membership Inference Attacks (AutoMIA): Discovering MIA Signal Computations using LLM Agents

Membership inference attacks (MIAs), which enable adversaries to determine whether specific data points were part of a model's training dataset, have emerged as an important framework to understand, assess, and quantify the potential information leakage associated with machine learning systems. Designing effective MIAs...

Evaluating Out-of-Distribution Robustness in Graph-Based Android Malware Classification: A New Principled Benchmark

A semantic enrichment framework that extends raw graph topology with function-level attributes, combining lightweight metadata with LLM-based code embeddings is proposed, with which classification performs better under distribution shift compared to model-based approaches, and consistently further enhances robustness w...

Near-Optimal Machine Unlearning Utility for Smooth Strongly Convex Losses

This work nearly resolves the fundamental statistical cost of unlearning by proving upper and lower bounds on the excess population risk of approximate $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-unlearning; the authors' bounds are tight up to a condition-number factor.

Jacobian-Guided Anisotropic Noise Reshaping for Enhancing Representation Utility under Local Differential Privacy

This work proposes a novel approach that mitigates noise in task-relevant subspaces of the data representation by identifying task-critical subspaces via the Jacobian of a public downstream model, selectively attenuates noise along these directions, and reshapes the isotropic noise of standard LDP mechanisms into an an...

Delphi Scanner: efficient and interpretable static malware detection via API sequence modeling

Delphi Scanner is introduced, a static malware detection system for Windows PE files that balances efficiency with behavioral interpretation that uses a convolutional neural network to model Windows API sequences to classify PE and a decoupled interpretation layer based on a rule-based layer to categorize APIs into hig...

ALIBI: Adversarial Legitimacy Injection in Binary Input against LLM Malware Analyzers

ALIBI is presented, a semantic cover story attack against frontier LLM-based malware analyzers that adds a small, non-executed read-only section to a compiled binary, containing a coherent but false security product narrative, without altering imports or executable behavior.

Multi-center Medical Data Mining with FL-Net - A One-stop Shop for Federated Learning

Federated learning enables collaborative training without sharing patient-level data, but most studies remain simulations. Based on five requirements derived from the literature, we analyzed 14 FL frameworks and found that none fully satisfied these requirements. We present FL-Net, a novel federated clinical research f...

A Policy Profile for Croissant: Refusal as a Property of the Dataset

Croissant is the de facto machine-readable descriptor for ML datasets: JSON-LD over schema.org. Since version 1.1 it also carries data use conditions, recommending DUO and ODRL for them. What no version specifies is how any of them is evaluated: no decision procedure, no bound on evaluation cost, no outcome for a condi...

Evaluating Large Language Models for Symbolic Security Protocol Analysis

Security protocols verification relies on formal tools such as ProVerif and OFMC. This study evaluates whether large language models (LLMs) can perform comparable analysis. We test GPT and DeepSeek in chat and reasoning modes over three runs on 130 obfuscated AnB/AnBx protocols covering 388 security goals, scored again...

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.
