DefenseBenchmarkarXiv

Zhang and colleagues release Agent Security Bench (ASB), covering 10 scenarios, 10 agents and over 400 tools, and benchmark attack and defense methods, including prompt injection, memory poisoning and a new backdoor attack, across 13 LLMs (23 methods in the first version, 27 in the ICLR 2025 version). They report a highest average attack success rate of 84.30% and limited effectiveness of current defenses. The paper was accepted at ICLR 2025.
