This work formalizes an attack space and evaluates representative OS defenses using four agent workloads and a Linux telemetry pipeline and shows that the main limitation is not OS observability.

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.

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.

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...

This paper presents AIREP, a vendor- and model-independent protocol for per-decision AI runtime evidence, a structured reconciler that preserves failure, missing evidence, unevaluated prerequisites, and indeterminate outcomes as distinct states.
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.

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...
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...

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.
The benchmark, failure-preserving contract, incident provenance, and governance controls needed to prevent infrastructure behavior from being misreported as model behavior and the benchmark, failure-preserving contract, incident provenance, and governance controls needed to prevent infrastructure behavior from being mi...

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.
