HazardAuditor targets runtime safety risks in computer-use agents
A new arXiv paper introduces HazardAuditor, a framework aimed at catching safety problems that arise while computer-use agents operate browsers, terminals, file systems, and external services. The authors argue that these risks show up in an agent's runtime behavior rather than only in the text it generates, which existing guard models — built mainly for static prompts — are not designed to cover. The work frames these issues as executable threats and proposes auditing them to make such agents safer.
