The first SoK on LLM-based AutoPT frameworks provides a six-dimension taxonomy of agent designs and a unified empirical benchmark evaluating 15 frameworks via over 10 billion tokens and 1,500 manually reviewed logs.
LLM agents exhibit persistent attack-selection biases as fixed traits independent of success rates, with a bias momentum effect that resists steering and yields no performance gain.
ASPO combines multi-agent LLM proposals with deterministic enforcement in a MAPE-K loop to select conflict-free, resource-feasible security patterns for IoT, delivering 100% safety invariants and 21-23% tail latency/energy reductions on testbed workloads.
CritBench evaluates five LLMs on 81 tasks in IEC 61850 environments, showing reliable performance on static analysis and single-tool reconnaissance but degradation on dynamic live-system tasks that require sequential reasoning, with domain-specific tools improving results.
Expert-defined action plans for LLM agents achieve higher task completion in lateral-movement scenarios than fully autonomous or self-scaffolded modes, but failures remain common due to brittle commands and state handling.
Pen-Strategist fine-tunes Qwen-3-14B with RL on a pentesting reasoning dataset and pairs it with a CNN step classifier, reporting 87% better strategy derivation, 47.5% more subtask completions than baselines, and gains on CTFKnow and user studies.
Targeted prompting and system interventions enable local LLMs such as Llama 3.1 70B to exploit 83% of tested Linux privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
LanG presents a governance-aware agentic AI platform for unified security operations that reports strong performance on incident correlation, rule generation, attack reconstruction, and AI safety guardrails in an open-source package.
