Abstract

LLM agents are increasingly deployed in long-horizon, complex environments to solve challenging problems, but this expansion exposes them to long-horizon attacks that exploit multi-turn user-agent-environment interactions to achieve objectives infeasible in single-turn settings. To measure agent vulnerabilities to such risks, we present AgentLAB, the first benchmark dedicated to evaluating LLM agent susceptibility to adaptive, long-horizon attacks. Currently, AgentLAB supports five novel attack types including intent hijacking, tool chaining, task injection, objective drifting, and memory poisoning, spanning 28 realistic agentic environments, and 644 security test cases. Leveraging AgentLAB, we evaluate representative LLM agents and find that they remain highly susceptible to long-horizon attacks; moreover, defenses designed for single-turn interactions fail to reliably mitigate long-horizon threats. We anticipate that AgentLAB will serve as a valuable benchmark for tracking progress on securing LLM agents in practical settings. The benchmark is publicly available at https://tanqiujiang.github.io/AgentLAB_main.

Adaptive Adversaries: A Multi-Turn, Multi-LLM Benchmark for LLM Agent Security

LLM-based agents process external content, exposing them to prompt injection and multi-turn manipulation. Most safety benchmarks evaluate defenders against fixed attack pools collected before evaluation, single-turn or multi-turn. We present a 21-scenario benchmark for adaptive multi-round attacks against memoryless LLM defenders: an autonomous LLM attacker observes prior defender responses and pivots across rounds, while each defender response is evaluated as a fresh interaction. Holding the 21 scenarios, attackers, defenders, and structured-output scoring fixed, restricting scoring to the first attacker turn yields 00-1%1\% attack success rate (ASR); allowing 15 rounds of adaptive attack yields 5.45.4-14.0%14.0\%. Pooling three frontier attacker LLMs uncovers 1.41.4-2.2×2.2\times as many unique successful attacks as the best single attacker, and the generated attacks have low cosine similarity (0.020.02-0.140.14) to attacks in existing benchmarks. Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 are tied in aggregate (5.4%5.4\% each; overlapping 95%95\% CIs), but their weaknesses differ sharply: on one scenario Opus reaches 60%60\% ASR (95%95\% CI 3636--80%80\%) while GPT-5.4 and Gemini each stay at 7%7\% (CI 11-30%30\%; the gap is preserved in a higher-NN replication). 1313 of 2121 scenarios distinguish at least one defender pair, yet rankings disagree across scenarios (Kendall's W=0.19W = 0.19). We release the benchmark -- 21 evaluation scenarios, 10 public development scenarios, the orchestrator, baseline harnesses, and a multi-attacker CLI -- plus 945 transcripts from the 3×\times3 frontier matrix, an attack-replay dataset, and 18{,}422 gpt-oss-20b battles from an open competition's final scoring rounds.

DUMA-Bench: A Dual-Control Multi-Agent Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agent Security

LLM-based agents increasingly operate in environments where they interact with users, tools, and external systems. Yet most security evaluations assume passive users and static control, ignoring the interactive dynamics that shape real agent behavior. We introduce DUMA-Bench, a benchmark and evaluation protocol for measuring agent security under dual-control interaction, where both the agent and the user can influence the shared environment state. DUMA-Bench extends τ2τ^2-bench ~\cite{barres2025tau} with adversarial environments covering eight vulnerability classes, including RAG poisoning, cross-agent manipulation, and unsafe output handling. We evaluate 14 models from five model families (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Z.ai) across eight domains and multiple user-behavior regimes. Across our experiments, introducing dual-control interaction increases the attack success rate from 26.9% to 41.1%. These results show that agent security is not solely a property of the model but emerges from the interaction between the model, the user, and the environment. DUMA-Bench provides a missing evaluation layer for studying security in realistic agent deployments.

ATBench: A Diverse and Realistic Agent Trajectory Benchmark for Safety Evaluation and Diagnosis

Evaluating the safety of LLM-based agents is increasingly important because risks in realistic deployments often emerge over multi-step interactions rather than isolated prompts or final responses. Existing trajectory-level benchmarks remain limited by insufficient interaction diversity, coarse observability of safety failures, and weak long-horizon realism. We introduce ATBench, a trajectory-level benchmark for structured, diverse, and realistic evaluation of agent safety. ATBench organizes agentic risk along three dimensions: risk source, failure mode, and real-world harm. Based on this taxonomy, we construct trajectories with heterogeneous tool pools and a long-context delayed-trigger protocol that captures realistic risk emergence across multiple stages. The benchmark contains 1,000 trajectories (503 safe and 497 unsafe), averaging 9.01 turns and 3.95k tokens, with 1,954 invoked tools drawn from pools spanning 2,084 available tools. Data quality is supported by rule-based and LLM-based filtering plus full human audit. Experiments on frontier LLMs, open-source models, and specialized guard systems show that ATBench is challenging even for strong evaluators, while enabling taxonomy-stratified analysis, cross-benchmark comparison, and diagnosis of long-horizon failure patterns.
