Summary
An arXiv paper introduces Scope-Gap Injection (SGI), an indirect prompt injection method aimed at multi-stage LLM-agent safety pipelines. The authors describe it in the context of the IJCAI 2026 OpenClaw Agent Security Attack Competition, where each attack package is checked by a static skill scan, an LLM-judge safety check over the task and skill definition, and a live execution audit. The snippet says the authors observed a scope gap, with the LLM-judge stage appearing to inspect the task but not the full picture. The provided text is truncated, so further details of the findings are not available here.

What happened
This paper introduces Scope-Gap Injection (SGI), an indirect prompt injection method for multi-stage LLM-agent safety pipelines. In the IJCAI 2026 OpenClaw Agent Security Attack Competition, each attack package is judged by a static skill scan (S1), an LLM-judge safety check over the task and skill definition...
Why it matters
Builders of AI agents and teams that rely on layered safety checks may need to examine whether each evaluation stage covers the same scope. If the reported gap holds up, a multi-stage pipeline could pass an attack that a single stage would catch. Readers should watch for the full paper's methods, results, and any responses from competition organizers.
