This research reveals critical security vulnerabilities in multi-agent Large Language Model systems, demonstrating how adversaries can bypass existing defenses through optimized prompts.

• Introduces a permutation-invariant adversarial attack targeting pragmatic multi-agent systems with real-world constraints
• Demonstrates how attacks can bypass existing safety mechanisms in decentralized reasoning environments
• Highlights unique security challenges arising from agent-to-agent communication and collective decision-making
• Provides insights for developing more robust defensive strategies against emerging threat vectors

This research is crucial for security professionals as it exposes novel attack surfaces in increasingly prevalent multi-agent LLM deployments, requiring new approaches to safeguard AI systems operating in collaborative environments.
