What's new

arXiv:2609.31318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents combine language models with external data and tools that can modify files, call APIs, or execute code.

Key details

  • Security failures can arise when adversarial content changes an agent's tool use or when the surrounding software contains vulnerabilities such as path traversal or command injection.
  • We study authorized white-box pre-deployment auditing, where the auditor has access to the target repository and a controlled runtime, but successful attacks must still act through the task-defined attacker interface and be confirmed by an external verifier.
  • We present AgentXploit, a two-role auditing system that separates repository-level attack-path discovery from runtime exploitation.
  • The Analyzer Agent traces attacker-controlled inputs to sensitive operations and records code-supported candidate attack paths; the Exploiter Agent turns these paths into concrete attacks and revises them using runtime feedback.

What's new

arXiv:2609.31176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repository-level issue localization aims to identify and rank the files and functions relevant to resolving a reported issue.

Key details

  • LLM agents approach this task iteratively: they identify a set of potentially relevant locations, inspect the corresponding code, and revise their judgments about these candidates as new evidence is acquired.
  • Existing environments, however, provide limited support for this loop: agents must search for unresolved relation targets, reconstruct entity semantics from raw source code, and revise candidates without evidential basis.
  • To address these limitations, we present SemNav, a framework that leverages deterministic retrieval to seed a broad candidate set and an LLM agent to continually refine that set, thereby combining initial coverage with evidence-guided revision.
  • SemNav supports this process through three key components.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.

  • In this work, we provide a systematic survey of tabular imbalanced learning and introduce Tabular Imbalanced Learning Benchmark (TILBench), a large-scale empirical benchmark for evaluating existing methods.
  • We first organize imbalanced learning approaches into a unified taxonomy and then benchmark more than 40 representative methods across 57 tabular datasets under a standardized evaluation protocol, examining overall predictive performance, sensitivity to dat...
  • Our results show that no single method consistently dominates across all settings.
