Preprint Open access
LLM gateways enforce separate tenant quotas while sharing model deployments and cooldown records that temporarily exclude failing backends. However, a tenant's request failure can update these shared records and restrict other tenants' access to serviceable deployments. We identify two attacks that exploit this gap in …

Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to the secure deployment of text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models. Existing defenses typically detect backdoors from specific abnormal patterns in internal representations, which may limit their generalizability with the emergence of increasingly diverse attack mechanisms. In this …

LLM agents increasingly keep working after a task succeeds as they resume after compaction or take over handoffs. Their finished work keeps receiving follow-up input that sometimes falsely accuses it for later failures. We call an agent's acceptance of such a false accusation gaslight sycophancy, and destructive over-c …

LLM agents now execute tasks end to end with permission to change real systems and increasingly orchestrate subagents that differ in capability and cost. Prior work treats the choice of subagent as an optimization problem. Yet the orchestrator makes this choice from the identities that subagents display, and an attacke …
