RogueMerge: Robust and Unified Attacks against LLM Model Merging

arXiv:2606.03344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging composes specialized capabilities into a single LLM by aggregating task vectors sourced from unverified public platforms, exposing a critical supply-chain attack surface: Because any malicious behavior can be encoded into a task vector,…

Resource-Constrained Adaptive Inference for Sequential Pricing

arXiv:2606.03736v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Resource-constrained pricing controllers can make fixed-price inference impossible: the controller’s resource state may remove the target price neighborhood from the feasible set, even when every realized action has a known positive density. We formalize this…

VeRO: A Harness for Agents to Optimize Agents

arXiv:2602.22480v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: An important emerging application of coding agents is agent harness optimization: the iterative improvement of a target agent by editing and evaluating its code. Despite its relevance, the community lacks a systematic understanding of coding…

Backdooring Masked Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2605.19262v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) are emerging as a compelling new paradigm for text generation, but their training-time security remains largely unexplored. Existing backdoor attacks on Gaussian diffusion models or autoregressive language models do not…

High-Precision APT Malware Attribution with Out-of-Scope Resilience

arXiv:2606.03523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Early attribution of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activity can help defenders prioritise investigation, select countermeasures, and reduce the impact of an intrusion. Malware provides useful attribution evidence, but automated APT malware attribution remains difficult in…

AdaWeather: Adaptively Mixing Probabilistic Weather Forecasts with Logarithmic Regret

arXiv:2606.02663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in machine learning have produced probabilistic weather forecasting models comparable to state-of-the-art numerical weather predictors. But no model consistently dominates spatio-temporally, and relative performance is highly context-dependent. This motivates adaptive methods for combining…
