Title: Hijacking Agent Memory: Stealthy Trojan Attacks Through Conversational Interaction
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.29960v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly leverage long term memory to support persistent and autonomous task execution. However, this capability also introduces a new attack surface: memory poisoning, where adversaries can inject malicious information to influence future behavior. Existing memory poisoning attacks often assume that injected content can be stored directly in memory, overlooking the selective extraction and rewriting stages i
