Key details

• However, existing prompt injection benchmarks primarily focus on short-context inputs, leaving the attacks and defenses in long-context settings largely unexplored.
• This gap leads to a substantial overestimation of the effectiveness of current defenses.
• In this paper, we bridge the gap by introducing LongPIBench, a long-context benchmark for prompt injection covering 4 realistic application scenarios: paper peer review, resume screening, code review, and email summary.
• For each scenario, we construct a synthetic dataset and a real-world dataset, with context lengths ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of tokens.

arXiv:2606.17092v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic systems are increasingly integrated with geographic information systems (GIS), where multi-agent coordination enables complex conversational and spatial analysis but introduces security risks.

Key details

• This work presents a security-oriented framework for risk identification, evaluation, and mitigation in a multi-agent GIS system while maintaining adaptability to broader agentic architectures.
• We test the agentic system of a commercial geospatial partner while developing a modular state-machine-based orchestration framework that abstracts agent behavior into reusable components.
• We evaluate robustness using a red-teaming framework with an adaptive attacker LLM and a deterministic judge that produces binary outcomes with supporting rationales across multi-turn attacks.
• We further improve resilience with a prompt optimization framework that treats prompts as structured signatures and injects adversarial demonstrations, enabling systematic security improvements without degrading task performance.

arXiv:2608.28252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial markets are inherently non-stationary, making the effectiveness of individual portfolio-management strategies highly dependent on changing market conditions.

Key details

• This work proposes a retrieval-augmented expert-switching framework that dynamically selects portfolio management experts based on their historical performance under similar market situations.
• A dual-stream variational autoencoder represents asset-level and market-wide information, while a retrieval-based knowledge base stores historical situations and expert performance.
• During inference, an instruction-tuned LLM reasons over the retrieved evidence to identify the most appropriate expert rather than directly generating portfolio actions.
• We further establish a monotonicity property showing that adding a locally superior expert cannot degrade the switching mechanism's performance.
