The paper introduces MemPoison, a novel memory poisoning attack that successfully injects triggerable backdoors into LLM agents' long-term memory through conversational interactions, achieving high at…

This paper systematically studies memory poisoning attacks in LLM agents, identifying multiple vulnerabilities and proposing a new benchmark to assess the risk.

MemMorph introduces a novel memory poisoning attack that biases LLM agent tool selection by injecting crafted records into the agent's long-term memory, achieving high success rates even against moder…

The paper introduces Trojan Hippo, a persistent memory attack that exfiltrates sensitive data from LLM agents by planting dormant payloads into long-term memory, and develops a comprehensive framework…

The paper introduces and evaluates 'sleeper memory poisoning,' a delayed adversarial attack that corrupts an LLM agent's persistent memory by manipulating external context, demonstrating that these po…

The paper introduces eTAMP, a novel attack that poisons LLM web agents' memory using only environmental observations, demonstrating cross-site and cross-session compromise without direct memory access…

The paper introduces Obsessive Experience Poisoning (OEP), a low-privilege black-box attack that poisons self-evolving LLM agents by generating locally correct but harmful experiences, causing dangero…

This paper analyzes memory poisoning attacks targeting multi-agent systems (MAS) powered by LLMs, proposing mitigation strategies across various memory types, especially focusing on secure design prin…

The paper introduces SHADOWMERGE, a novel poisoning attack that successfully compromises graph-based agent memory by exploiting relation-channel conflicts, achieving a high attack success rate across…

This survey establishes persistent, writable memory as an independent security problem for LLM agents, proposing a comprehensive framework for 'mnemonic sovereignty' to govern the entire memory lifecy…

The paper introduces MAGE, a novel defensive framework that uses a dedicated 'shadow memory' to proactively detect and mitigate long-horizon threats against LLM agents during complex, multi-step inter…

The paper proposes the Layered Attack Surface Model (LASM), a structural taxonomy that maps security threats and defenses across the complex, multi-layered architecture of AI agents, revealing signifi…

MemLineage introduces a novel, cryptographically-backed defense mechanism that enforces a chain-of-custody for LLM agent memory, preventing untrusted or poisoned state from justifying sensitive action…

The paper systematically evaluates various defense mechanisms against persistent memory attacks on LLM agents, finding that only tool-gating at the memory layer (Memory Sandbox) effectively mitigates…

This paper introduces ClawTrojan, a benchmark for multi-step trojan attacks against LLM agents, and proposes DASGuard, a dynamic defense mechanism that traces and sanitizes untrusted control content i…

The paper introduces ClawTrojan, a benchmark for multi-step trojan attacks against LLM agents, and proposes DASGuard, a defense mechanism that detects and sanitizes backdoor content planted across mul…

The paper proposes ADAM, a novel and highly effective privacy attack that systematically extracts sensitive data from LLM agent memory by adaptively querying the victim agent's memory based on data di…

MemGuard introduces a type-aware memory framework to prevent heterogeneous memory contamination in long-term memory-augmented LLMs, significantly improving memory reliability and efficiency.

The paper introduces a multi-dimensional evasion framework and a new benchmark (A3S-Bench) to test autonomous agents, demonstrating that stateful, multi-turn attacks significantly increase system risk…

The paper identifies 'unintended long-term state poisoning'—a security risk where routine user interactions gradually corrupt an LLM agent's persistent state—and proposes a defense mechanism called St…
