However, these models face significant robustness challenges in real-world scenarios due to natural noise and adversarial perturbations, and their robustness remains underexplored. In this study, we systematically evaluate the robustness of state-of-the-art GUI grounding models, such as UGround, under three conditions: natural noise, untargeted adversarial attacks, and targeted adversarial attacks. Our experiments, which were conducted across a wide range of GUI environments, including mobile, desktop, and web interfaces, have clearly demonstrated that GUI grounding models exhibit a high degree of sensitivity to adversarial perturbations and low-resolution conditions. These findings provide valuable insights into the vulnerabilities of GUI grounding models and establish a strong benchmark for future research aimed at enhancing their robustness in practical applications.
