VeriTrip: A Verifiable Benchmark for Travel Planning Agents over Unstructured Web Corpora

The paper introduces VeriTrip, a new verifiable benchmark that evaluates travel planning agents' ability to perform evidence-grounded reasoning over complex, unstructured, and multimodal web data, revealing a critical retrieval-reasoning trade-off.

SNARE: Adaptive Scenario Synthesis for Eliciting Overeager Behavior in Coding Agents

The paper introduces SNARE, a novel adaptive testing pipeline that systematically measures overeager behavior in coding agents, finding that the agent framework accounts for the majority of the variation in security risk.

MIRAGE: Context-Aware Prompt Injection against Mobile GUI Agents via User-Generated Content

The paper introduces MIRAGE, a novel pipeline that generates context-aware prompt injection attacks by injecting malicious text into user-generated content regions of mobile screenshots, successfully demonstrating the vulnerability of current GUI agents.

SPARD: Defending Harmful Fine-Tuning Attack via Safety Projection with Relevance-Diversity Data Selection
