首个可自传播的LLM智能体蠕虫，能自动感染并扩散至其他智能体。

Autonomous LLM-based agents increasingly operate as long-running processes forming densely interconnected multi-agent ecosystems, whose security properties remain largely unexplored. Systems such as OpenClaw, an open-source platform with over 40{,}000 active instances, persistent configurations, tool-execution privileges, and cross-platform messaging, are deployed at scale, yet the security of such agent ecosystems remains largely unexplored. This work presents AgentWorm, the first self-replicating worm attack against a production-scale agent framework, achieving a fully autonomous infection cycle initiated by a single message: the worm first hijacks the victim's core configuration to establish persistent presence across session restarts, then executes an arbitrary payload upon each reboot, and finally propagates itself to every newly encountered peer without further attacker intervention. The attack is evaluated on a controlled testbed across five distinct LLM backends, three infection vectors, and three payload types. Results show a 63\% aggregate attack success rate, sustained multi-hop propagation, and stark divergences in model security postures, highlighting that while execution-level filtering effectively mitigates dormant payloads, skill supply chains remain universally vulnerable. Defenses are evaluated at three layers (prompt-level mitigations sourced from real community practice, the framework's built-in security controls, and an ecosystem-wide measurement of public configurations), revealing that the critical controls capable of breaking the infection loop are not enabled in any of the observed deployments. A cross-framework transferability experiment on Hermes Agent confirms that the underlying vulnerabilities are properties of the autonomous agent design pattern, not artifacts of a single implementation.
