ManyIH and ManyIH-Bench address instruction conflicts in LLM agents with up to 12 privilege levels across 853 tasks, revealing frontier models achieve only ~40% accuracy.
The paper argues that agent security is best addressed as a systems problem by applying principles from operating systems, networks, and formal methods rather than relying solely on model robustness improvements.
Frontier AI agents introduce new confidentiality, integrity, and availability risks through changed assumptions on code-data separation and authority boundaries, requiring layered defenses like sandboxing and policy enforcement.
