Researchers have identified a new category of security threats targeting computer-use agents (CUAs), which are AI systems designed to operate operating systems and the web. These "Invisible Ink Threats" involve low-harm injected goals that are difficult to distinguish from legitimate tasks, thus bypassing standard defenses like human-in-the-loop confirmation. A new benchmark, II-Bench, has been developed with 444 adversarial examples across three platforms to test these threats, revealing significant security risks in current CUAs. AI
