Why it matters

It demonstrates that injection crossing agent trust boundaries evades existing defenses and that the blind spot is the delegation/tool-discovery layer, which defenders of multi-agent systems must guard.

deep-xpia is a benchmark of multi-hop cross-prompt injection (DXPIA) across delegated agent boundaries, with 300 live-measured cases and 8 attack patterns showing 69% land undefended and 12% even with all defenses. It highlights registry injection at tool-discovery (DXPIA-008) entering upstream of all 5 stacked defenses and maps patterns to documented Copilot incidents like EchoLeak.
