Wanjing Han, Levi Taiji Li, Mu Zhang, Yue Jiang and Guanhong Tao · arXiv · 7 October 2026

AI-collected research leads through 3 November 2026, including a November–October–September missed-article review and a targeted multilingual search alongside earlier community-source sweeps. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.

WebMirage optimizes localized adversarial images against candidate selection and action post-processing in vision-based web agents. It varies webpage composition and candidate mappings and measures the browser action actually executed.
