arXiv:2610.02349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inter-agent communication is central to Large Language Model Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS), but it introduces an underexplored vulnerability: Agent-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks that manipulate messages in transit without compromising the agents themselves. Prior work reports Attack Success Rates (ASR) approaching 100% on structured tasks.
