MemSecBench: Tracking Agent Memory Poisoning from Persistence to Consequence and Repair

- What happened
- MemSecBench benchmark tests how malicious instructions persist in agent memory systems, propagate to actions, and whether selective repair works across different configurations.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building or deploying AI agents with persistent memory need to understand attack surface and repair capabilities across memory and LLM backends.
- Watch out
- The benchmark found malicious memory persists in 84.2% of cases but repair success varies widely by configuration, suggesting no single memory stack is universally secure.
