    SEABench: Benchmarking Endogenous Misalignment In Self-Evolving Agents

    Saswat Das, Parvati Viswanathan, Daniel Donnelly, Chang Huang, Sahar Abdelnabi, Ferdinando Fioretto

    cs.CR · cs.AI · cs.CL

    Self-evolving LLM agents have gained prominence for their ability to improve after deployment by modifying their harness, including their controller instructions, memory management protocols, and reusable tools and skills, in response to user and environment feedback. However, locally useful updates may persist into later tasks where they produce unsafe behavior, even without direct adversarial influence. To study this risk, we introduce...

    The Compiler May Read It, the Agent May Not: Keeping Part of a Research Code Away from a Coding Agent

    Shobhan Roy

    cs.CR · cs.AI · cs.SE

    The compiler must read modules a physics-based solver cannot build without; the coding agent must not read that intellectual property. The harness does not ship that rule. We classified fifteen read routes against a container, permission rules and a sandbox. None of the three can tell which program is reading.

    "Nothing to See Here'': Unintended Disclosure through Revision Traces of LLM Deliverables

    Yage Zhang, Yukun Jiang, Yang Zhang

    cs.CR · cs.AI

    Large language model (LLM) assistants increasingly help users draft content for third-party recipients. During private drafting, the user or the model may introduce an item and later remove or replace it. The model may remove the item from the intended content but reveal it again when stating the edit. We call such statements revision traces. For example, after a user removes the password before sharing a configuration file, the model may...
