Security Company: AI agent's encrypted payment infrastructure has significant security vulnerabilities, LLM router has led to the theft of a $500,000 wallet

According to CoinDesk, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, the University of California, San Diego, blockchain security company Fuzzland, and World Liberty Financial have jointly published a paper warning that "LLM routers"—intermediary services located between users and AI models—have become a significant security risk for crypto assets.
The researchers found that 26 LLM routers are secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing user credentials, with one incident leading to the emptying of a customer's crypto wallet worth $500,000.
Additionally, the researchers were able to control about 400 downstream hosts within hours by "polluting" the router ecosystem. Since sensitive data such as private keys and API credentials are often transmitted in plaintext through these routers, users are effectively exposing their assets to risk without their knowledge.
The researchers pointed out that as McKinsey predicts AI agents will mediate $30 trillion to $50 trillion in global consumer spending by 2030, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao also predicts that the payment volume of AI agents will be a million times that of humans. The current infrastructure security is severely lagging behind the pace of industry development, and the risk of the "weakest link" could trigger a systemic chain crisis.
