Who Pays the Price? Stakeholder-Centric Prompt Injection Benchmarking for Real-world Web Agents

LLM-based web agents are increasingly deployed in real-world settings such as e-commerce, where they interact extensively with untrusted web content while executing actions that carry direct financial consequences. This makes them vulnerable to prompt-injection attacks, in which seemingly benign web content conceals adversarial instructions that manipulate the agent's behavior. Existing security benchmarks adopt an \textit{attack-centric} perspective, focusing on the technical feasibility of injections while overlooking the nuanced distribution of resulting harms. In practice, however, prompt-injection risk is victim-dependent: a single exploit can produce asymmetric consequences for different stakeholders, and the same attack pattern may exhibit substantially different effectiveness depending on whom it targets. To capture these properties, we introduce StakeBench, a stakeholder-centric benchmark that systematically categorizes and attributes harm in real-world web agent systems for online shopping. In general, StakeBench decomposes prompt-injection risk into 12 concrete attack objectives across three stakeholder classes, realized by 22 reusable templates and instantiated into 264 executable adversarial cases spanning 12 product categories, with each case evaluated along complementary outcome- and process-level metrics. Evaluating four deployable agent-backbone configurations across 3,168 attacked runs, we find substantial and heterogeneous vulnerabilities: no attack objective is reliably resisted by current LLM-based web agents, and outcomes span four qualitatively distinct modes. These patterns are missed by conventional attack-centric, single-metric evaluation, underscoring the need for stakeholder-aware assessment of LLM-based agents in real-world deployments.

Dual atom (87Rb-133Cs) grating magneto-optical trap

This paper proposes a dual-color grating chip design method for simultaneously capturing dual atomic clouds (87Rb and 133Cs). By simulating key parameters such as the grating period, etching depth, duty cycle, coating material, and thickness, the optimal design parameters were determined to ensure efficient dual-wavelength diffraction and maximize the number of captured atoms. Experimental results demonstrate the simultaneous trapping of 1.6E8 87Rb atoms and 7.8E6 133Cs atoms, thereby offering an approach for multi-species cold atom systems. This dual-species grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) system has potential applications in precision measurements such as cold atom clocks, quantum interferometers, and quantum electrometry.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Channel Assignment and Power Allocation in Platoon-Based C-V2X Systems

We consider the problem of joint channel assignment and power allocation in underlaid cellular vehicular-to-everything (C-V2X) systems where multiple vehicle-to-network (V2N) uplinks share the time-frequency resources with multiple vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) platoons that enable groups of connected and autonomous vehicles to travel closely together. Due to the nature of high user mobility in vehicular environment, traditional centralized optimization approach relying on global channel information might not be viable in C-V2X systems with large number of users. Utilizing a multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) approach, we propose a distributed resource allocation (RA) algorithm to overcome this challenge. Specifically, we model the RA problem as a multi-agent system. Based solely on the local channel information, each platoon leader, acting as an agent, collectively interacts with each other and accordingly selects the optimal combination of sub-band and power level to transmit its signals. Toward this end, we utilize the double deep Q-learning algorithm to jointly train the agents under the objectives of simultaneously maximizing the sum-rate of V2N links and satisfying the packet delivery probability of each V2V link in a desired latency limitation. Simulation results show that our proposed RL-based algorithm provides a close performance compared to that of the well-known exhaustive search algorithm.

A Real-Time and Energy-Efficient Implementation of Difference-of-Gaussian with Flexible Thin-Film Transistors

With many advantageous features, softness and better biocompatibility, flexible electronic devices have developed rapidly and increasingly attracted attention. Many currently applications with flexible devices are sensors and drivers, while there is nearly no utilization aiming at complex computation since flexible devices have lower electron mobility, simple structure and large process variation. In this paper, we proposed an innovative method that enabled flexible devices to implement real-time and energy-efficient Difference-of-Gaussian, which illustrated feasibility and potentials for them to achieve complicated real-time computation in future generation products.
