When Experience Becomes a Backdoor

BadEvolve demonstrates effective task-level backdoor attacks on self-evolving LLM agents across diverse frameworks, benchmarks, and backbone LLMs.

SecurityMicrosoftCode

Frontier3DBench

GPT-6.1-sol achieves the highest overall score of 66.02/100 on Frontier3DBench, while all 11 configurations struggle with reference reconstruction.

AgentsBenchmark

Jais 3

Jais 3 matches or outperforms open-weight models of comparable size on Arabic and agentic benchmarks with fewer hallucinations.

Agents

Compass 1

Compass 1 achieves a 79.4% overall success rate in open-world embodied navigation, versus 17.8% for the strongest baseline.

Robotics

Shortcuts and Boundaries

A binary compliance penalty raises safe completion on 32 unseen changing-evidence tasks from 53.1% to 89.1% while both policies achieve full real work.

Safety

Meituan-Robotics-0

Meituan-Robotics-0 achieves 93.6% success on RoboTwin 2.0 and outperforms π0.5 on three real-robot tasks.

Robotics

Multi-step SWE

On the Multi-step SWE benchmark, the strongest of nine frontier models solves only 18.5% of 69 tasks.

Agents

Voluntary Servitude

“We measure this at the generation stage across six models and ten consumer-service domains, for three attack families, and show that it transfers to production browser agents, outperforming instruction injection, and to a retrieval pipeline (1.0-57.0% end-to-end success, depending on the retriever).”

Security

BrainwashedLLM

BrainwashedLLM achieves ASR@5 between 0.74 and 0.98 across four state-of-the-art LRMs without querying targets during attack construction.

Security

BEAKER

“Results show that current models can follow coarse experimental procedures in videos, but still struggle to ground actions into operable regions and feasible trajectories, to recognize fine-grained laboratory apparatus, states, and safety norms, and to order steps in mid-length procedures.”

AgentsBenchmark

PrimeSim

PrimeSim leads four of five WorldSimProbe suites and posts the best overall EWMBench score against five open-source action-conditioned world models.
