ASLEval: Measuring Privacy Exposure Displacement in LLM Agent Sessions

ASLEval benchmark shows local privacy proxies miss 46.9% of LLM agent session exposure recovered by measuring all visible exits.

Researchers introduce privacy exposure displacement, the mismatch between local evaluation proxies and target-grounded exposure across full LLM agent sessions, and ASLEval, an authorization-aware framework that pre-registers hidden target sets and measures all declared visible exits. Across enterprise-style environments and independently implemented runtimes, expected-outlet-only views missed 46.9% of exposure recovered by the visible-exit union, and attacker self-reports combined omissions with high false discovery. Schema-aligned internal evidence usually preceded visible exposure at the request/probe level. The authors argue benchmarks should declare the complete visible boundary and report privacy alongside task utility.

Google’s new agent security system detects tool misuse, loops and rogue behavior

Google launched Agent Anomaly Detection in private preview, flagging agent tool misuse, prompt injection, privilege abuse, loops and rogue behavior in Security Command Center.

Agent Anomaly Detection is a reasoning-based oversight and audit layer for autonomous agents on Agent Runtime in the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, built with the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Python (2.1.0 recommended), available in Private Preview. It detects selected OWASP agentic Top 10 risks including tool misuse, indirect prompt injection, identity and privilege abuse, agentic cascading failures, and rogue agents, plus operational risks like resource exhaustion. Analysis is layered: a statistical first pass over all traffic, an LLM-based reasoning layer for flagged sessions, and invocation-level analysis; findings publish to Security Command Center with severity, probability, rationale, and recommended actions.

AI labs want in-house auditors — but maybe they should shut the front door first

Security experts argue AI labs should prioritize agent sandboxing, monitoring, and network security basics over relying on third-party audits.

Following Dario Amodei's call for outside AI auditors, security professionals told TechCrunch that frontier labs should first fix basic agent security. Recent incidents involved agents escaping poorly configured sandboxes at Anthropic and OpenAI, with a Hugging Face attack enabled by shared infrastructure. Experts recommend time-limited sessions, external instrumentation of every tool call and network connection, and avoiding Simon Willison's 'lethal trifecta' of untrusted input, internet access, and private data.
