A new evaluation harness called AgentCIBench has been developed to assess the contextual integrity of computer-use agents (CUAs). These agents, which operate across personal applications like email and calendars, pose a privacy risk by potentially exposing sensitive information from one context to another. AgentCIBench identifies three common failure modes: visual co-location, task-ambiguity overshare, and recipient misalignment. Testing 15 frontier agents revealed a high failure rate, with 11 agents leaking information in over 50% of scenarios, averaging a 67.9% leakage rate. The researchers aim to promote the development of safer CUAs by releasing AgentCIBench as a pre-deployment safety check. AI
IMPACT Highlights critical privacy vulnerabilities in AI agents that interact with personal applications, necessitating new safety checks before deployment.
