A new benchmark called MobileWorldSafety has been developed to evaluate the safety of AI agents operating on Android smartphones against environmental injection attacks. These attacks, which include indirect prompt injections, can manipulate agent behavior through everyday mobile content. The benchmark comprises 142 risk tasks using real Android applications, with a two-stage verification process involving rule-based checks and an LLM judge. Evaluations of six different agents revealed significant vulnerabilities, with attack success rates between 40.4% and 66.9%, indicating a gap in current agents' ability to maintain safety alignment when exposed to adversarial content in a mobile context.
