  • 😈 Attacking Vision-Language Computer Agents via Pop-ups

    This research paper examines vulnerabilities in vision-language models (VLMs) that power autonomous agents performing computer tasks. The authors show that these VLM agents can be easily tricked into clicking on carefully crafted malicious pop-ups, which humans would typically recognize and avoid. These deceptive pop-ups mislead the agents, disrupting their task performance and reducing success rates. The study tests various pop-up designs across different VLM agents and finds that even simple countermeasures, such as instructing the agent to ignore pop-ups, are ineffective. The authors conclude that these vulnerabilities highlight serious security risks and call for more robust safety measures to ensure reliable agent performance.
