The growth of agentic AI has drawn significant attention to function calling Large Language Models (LLMs), which are designed to extend the capabilities of AI-powered system by invoking external functions. Injection and jailbreaking attacks have been extensively explored to showcase the vulnerabilities of LLMs to user prompt manipulation. The expanded capabilities of agentic models introduce further vulnerabilities via their function calling interface. Recent work in LLM security showed that function calling can be abused, leading to data tampering and theft, causing disruptive behavior such as endless loops, or causing LLMs to produce harmful content in the style of jailbreaking attacks. This paper introduces a novel function hijacking attack (FHA) that manipulates the tool selection process of agentic models to force the invocation of a specific, attacker-chosen function. While existing attacks focus on semantic preference of the model for function-calling tasks, we show that FHA is largely agnostic to the context semantics and robust to the function sets, making it applicable across diverse domains. We further demonstrate that FHA can be trained to produce universal adversarial functions, enabling a single attacked function to hijack tool selection across multiple queries and payload configurations. We conducted experiments on 5 different models, including instructed and reasoning variants, reaching 70% to 100% ASR over the established BFCL dataset. Our findings further demonstrate the need for strong guardrails and security modules for agentic systems.

The rapid advancement of generators (e.g., StyleGAN, Midjourney, DALL-E) has produced highly realistic synthetic images, posing significant challenges to digital media authenticity. These generators are typically based on a few core architectural families, primarily Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Diffusion Models (DMs). A critical vulnerability in current forensics is the failure of detectors to achieve cross-generator generalization, especially when crossing architectural boundaries (e.g., from GANs to DMs). We hypothesize that this gap stems from fundamental differences in the artifacts produced by these \textbf{distinct architectures}. In this work, we provide a theoretical analysis explaining how the distinct optimization objectives of the GAN and DM architectures lead to different manifold coverage behaviors. We demonstrate that GANs permit partial coverage, often leading to boundary artifacts, while DMs enforce complete coverage, resulting in over-smoothing patterns. Motivated by this analysis, we propose the \textbf{Tri}archy \textbf{Detect}or (TriDetect), a semi-supervised approach that enhances binary classification by discovering latent architectural patterns within the "fake" class. TriDetect employs balanced cluster assignment via the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm and a cross-view consistency mechanism, encouraging the model to learn fundamental architectural distincts. We evaluate our approach on two standard benchmarks and three in-the-wild datasets against 13 baselines to demonstrate its generalization capability to unseen generators.
