Beyond Direct Access: Resource Hijacking in LLM Agents

Large language model agents are increasingly connected to high-value resources such as computing infrastructure, credentials, usage budgets, identities, private knowledge, communication channels, and organizational workflows. Existing agent security research mainly studies attacks on instructions, data, and tool behaviors, while high-value resources accessible to agents have received much less attention as direct attack targets. We are the first to identify and systematically study agent resource hijacking, a security blind spot in which attackers induce agents to invoke, consume, transfer, or control high-value resources for their own goals without directly obtaining those resources or their credentials. To study this threat, we introduce ResourceHijackBench together with an automated pipeline for generating resource hijacking cases. We organize high-value agent resources into six categories and construct 300 attack scenarios with 900 attack prompts. Each case runs in an isolated local environment that records actual resource use, allowing attacks to be evaluated from agent behavior rather than text responses alone. Without additional defenses, OpenClaw reaches an average attack success rate of 84.06%. The attack remains effective across different model backends, with average success rates ranging from 69.98% to 89.58%. Existing defenses reduce part of the risk, but the strongest evaluated defense still leaves an average attack success rate of 55.11%. These results show that high-value resources accessible to agents form an important and previously overlooked attack surface, and that current agent defenses are not sufficient to protect them from resource hijacking.

ColluSkill: Adversarial Cross-Skill Composition for Evading Agent Skill Scanners

Agent skills are emerging as an important attack surface in LLM-based agent systems. Through an empirical study of existing skill scanners, we find that current defenses mainly inspect individual skills, leaving risks from cross-skill composition insufficiently examined. This creates a practical blind spot: multiple locally plausible skills may pass security checks while collectively forming a harmful workflow during agent execution. To investigate this threat, we propose ColluSkill, a collusive multi-skill-chain attack framework that decomposes a complete malicious intent into interdependent sub-payloads embedded in independently packaged skills. The attack does not rely on any single malicious skill, but emerges from the ordered composition of locally plausible behaviors through contextual dependencies, artifact passing, and execution handoffs. ColluSkill further employs LLM-based chain planning and scanner-feedback refinement to preserve chain-level attack semantics while reducing suspicious signals in individual sub-skills. To defend against such attacks, we propose ChainGuard, a context-aware skill-chain scanner that jointly analyzes a candidate skill and the skills already installed in the agent environment. ChainGuard reconstructs cross-skill dependencies, artifact flows, capability compositions, and downstream behaviors to identify risks that emerge only at the workflow level. Experiments on six representative skill scanners show that ColluSkill achieves an average attack success rate of 96.0% and consistently outperforms the evaluated single-skill and multi-skill attack baselines. Meanwhile, ChainGuard reduces the attack success rate to 22.5% while allowing 99.5% of benign workflows to pass, highlighting the importance of chain-level security analysis for agent skill ecosystems.

IndustryCode: A Benchmark for Industry Code Generation

Code generation and comprehension by Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as core drivers of industrial intelligence and decision optimization, finding widespread application in fields such as finance, automation, and aerospace. Although recent advancements have demonstrated the remarkable potential of LLMs in general code generation, existing benchmarks are mainly confined to single domains and languages. Consequently, they fail to effectively evaluate the generalization capabilities required for real-world industrial applications or to reflect the coding proficiency demanded by complex industrial scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce IndustryCode, the first comprehensive benchmark designed to span multiple industrial domains and programming languages. IndustryCode comprises 579 sub-problems derived from 125 primary industrial challenges, accompanied by rigorous problem descriptions and test cases. It covers a wide range of fields, including finance, automation, aerospace, and remote sensing-and incorporates diverse programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C++, and Stata. In our evaluation, the top-performing model, Claude 4.5 Opus, achieved an overall accuracy of 68.1% on sub-problems and 42.5% main problems. The benchmark dataset and automated evaluation code will be made publicly available upon acceptance.
