MAPLE: Metadata Augmented Private Language Evolution

Metadata Augmented Private Language Evolution (MAPLE) extracts DP tabular metadata and uses in-context learning to firmly ground the initial synthetic distribution in the target domain, and yields a strictly better privacy-utility trade-off.

Effective and Efficient Threat Hunting with Small Language Models

This work adapts NL2KQL for SLMs with lightweight retrieval and introduces error-aware prompting that targets common parser failures with a handful of mined tips, at a fraction of the tokens KQL's full rule set would require.

MAS-Shield: A Defense Framework for Secure and Efficient LLM MAS

MAS-Shield is proposed, a secure and efficient defense framework designed with a coarse-to-fine filtering pipeline that achieves a 92.5\% recovery rate against diverse adversarial scenarios and reduces defense latency by over 70\% compared to existing methods.

Watermarking Diffusion Language Models

We introduce the first watermark tailored for diffusion language models (DLMs), an emergent LLM paradigm able to generate tokens in arbitrary order, in contrast to standard autoregressive language models (ARLMs) which generate tokens sequentially. While there has been much work in ARLM watermarking, a key challenge whe...

Inference-Engine Fingerprinting Attacks are Practical: Exploring Model-Driven Environmental Discovery, Exploitation, and Escape

It is shown that a misaligned model can perform inference engine fingerprinting to determine the specific engine (e.g., vLLM, SGLang) which executes the model, and several ways that inference engines could be changed to make fingerprinting attacks more difficult are discussed.

Fingerprinting Multimodal Large Language Models

While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) enable a wide range of image-text reasoning tasks, recent incidents indicate that they are vulnerable to illicit deployment and unauthorized distillation. Existing solutions for model provenance are typically confounded by shared language backbones in MLLMs and struggle to...

A Scalable Trust Discovery Architecture for the Internet of Agents

The Internet of Agents is expected to enable large numbers of autonomous agents to discover, verify, and collaborate with each other across heterogeneous platforms. However, current agent protocols mainly address tool invocation and inter-agent communication, leaving scalable agent registration, trustworthy identificat...

ClashBench: Conflicts Leading Agents to Seize and Harm

This work identifies and formalizes this failure mode, which is term destructive resource preemption: obtaining the resources required for a requested task by terminating, overwriting, evicting, or degrading an incumbent task.

SoK: Trading Agents or Market Crashers? Dissecting Robustness and Security Failures in Academic Financial LLM Trading Schemes

FARSIGHT (Financial Agent Robustness and Security Investigation and Global Holistic Testing), a framework that performs scheme-level evaluation of financial LLM agents on two axes: robustness under market turbulence and security against three attack types: attacks on information sources, attacks on agents, and agent-as...

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.
