The Simular research team evaluated 8 multimodal large models using the public safety benchmark OS-Harm and found that models refuse harmful requests in chat, but refusal rates drop sharply in desktop agent mode. Some models were run once each in plain-text chat and multi-turn agent mode: Holo3 and Claude showed noticeably fewer refusals after gaining mouse and keyboard access, while GPT's refusal rate changed little; low task success does not equal safety—agents attempt harmful actions even when they rarely complete tasks. Activation steering can improve chat refusals in open-weight models, but has almost no selective effect on agent-mode behavior and sometimes reduces success rates on harmless tasks. Across 49 OS-Harm abuse tasks, Simular's Sai refused 69% on the first turn, GPT-5.5 67%, Claude Opus 4.5 33%, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 16%, with an error of about 10 to 13 percentage points for each rate across the 49 tasks. The paper has been accepted at a NeurIPS workshop.

In October 2026, a paper titled "On the Reliability of LLM-Based Vulnerability Patching Benchmarks" pointed out that current automated vulnerability repair benchmarks based on large language models significantly distort reported performance. The authors organized overlooked pitfalls from three dimensions: agent, framework, and dataset: prompts, tool availability, and detailed instructions inflate success rates without improving patch quality aligned with developers; permission errors, infrastructure defects, and timeout handling quietly lower or inflate scores; bug reports and single PoC tests cannot determine whether a patch truly fixes the issue. Subsequently, researchers at Northwestern University tested AI coding agents on 112 real security vulnerabilities and found that patches that eliminate crashes often fail the tests that project maintainers wrote for the fixes. On Claude Opus 4.7, one-third of patches that eliminate crashes still fail maintainer tests; the latest generation of Claude models eliminate crashes in about 90% of cases, but only about 61% pass maintainer tests. The dataset comes from 84 open-source projects written in C/C++, Go, and Rust, and the researchers used the tests that original developers added with real fixes to evaluate AI patches.
韩国科学技术信息通信部下属 AI 安全研究所对自主体 AI Agent 开展提示注入攻击评测,各模型平均防御率为 53.3% 至 93.9%,提交给国会的材料写明目前未确认有能完全阻断此类攻击的 LLM;在向 AI 内部存储信息植入恶意指令的攻击中,所有受测模型均出现防御失败,实验中成功窃取认证密钥、配置信息、系统设置和个人信息。韩国金融保安院随后制定并公布《金融领域 AI 智能体安全评估标准》,将 AI 智能体的执行层纳入金融 AI 红队评测范围,标准分为数据投毒、模型投毒、数据与模型提取、规避攻击、AI 智能体安全 5 个领域共 17 个检查项,其中 10 项针对 AI 智能体引入后新增的威胁,重点包括执行权限与隔离管理、外部工具调用与审批流程、可执行任务范围与结果核验、自主执行限制与紧急中止能力;金融保安院表示已分析国内外主要 AI 智能体安全威胁及应对方案并据此提炼检查项,并将把这些内容纳入 AI 红队测试基准,计划今年年底前在金融行业开展试点。
