Why it matters

AdvSim2Real addresses the limitations of training web agents against fixed prompt injections by adapting both attacks and task difficulty while measuring robustness and legitimate task performance.

AdvSim2Real is a training method that co-evolves web tasks, a prompt-injection adversary, and a web agent inside a frozen web world model. Across 150 web tasks, the researchers report a 33.6% relative improvement in completion under an unseen adversary compared with the base 4B agent, with capability gains also transferring to a real browser.
