Researchers have developed ColluSkill, a new framework designed to identify vulnerabilities in LLM-based agent systems by composing multiple seemingly harmless skills into a malicious workflow. This method exploits the gap in current security measures that primarily inspect individual skills rather than their combined execution. To counter this, a defense mechanism called ChainGuard has been proposed, which analyzes skill compositions and contextual dependencies to detect emergent threats at the workflow level. Experiments demonstrated ColluSkill's high success rate in bypassing existing scanners, while ChainGuard significantly reduced successful attacks on benign workflows. AI
