GradingAttack: Exposing Security Vulnerabilities in LLM Based Educational Grading Agents

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as educational agents for automatic short answer grading (ASAG) in real-world educational environments, significantly boosting assessment efficiency and scalability. However, when these grading agents operate ``in the wild'', their vulnerability to adversarial manipulation raises critical concerns about agent security and trustworthiness. In this paper, we introduce GradingAttack, a fine-grained adversarial attack framework that systematically evaluates the security vulnerabilities of LLM based educational grading agents. Specifically, we design token-level and prompt-level attack strategies that manipulate agent grading outcomes while maintaining high stealth, exposing fundamental weaknesses in current agent deployments. Experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that both attack strategies effectively compromise grading agents, with prompt-level attacks achieving higher success rates and token-level attacks exhibiting superior stealth capability. Our findings reveal that current LLM based educational agents lack robust defenses against adversarial attacks, underscoring the urgent need for developing secure and trustworthy agent systems for critical educational applications.
