arXiv:2610.07510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Developers can build LLM agents by adapting third-party models through benign post-training. We study a supply-chain threat in which an attacker supplies a model with a backdoor: hidden behavior that produces malicious outputs when a particular input pattern appears.
