SnapGuard detects prompt injection attacks on screenshot-based web agents via visual stability indicators and contrast-polarity textual signals, reaching F1 0.75 while running 8x faster than GPT-4o with no added memory cost.
PageGuide grounds LLM answers in webpage DOM elements using visual overlays for find, guide, and hide modes, yielding measurable gains in a 94-user study.
Oversight strategy in computer-use agents shapes exposure to problematic actions more reliably than correction success, with plan-based approaches reducing occurrences but not uniformly improving interventions.
The paper develops a unified framework that organizes computer-use agent reliability around perception-decision-execution layers and creation-deployment-operation-maintenance stages to map security and alignment interventions.
