When an LLM agent reads a confidential file, then writes a summary, then emails it externally, no single step is unsafe, but the sequence is a data leak. We call this safety drift: individually safe actions compounding into violations.…

Existing backdoor attacks on Large Language Model-based agents remain stateless, executing fixed behaviors confined to a single session. We propose a stateful agent backdoor that extends the attack lifecycle across multiple sessions under…
