分析针对智能体 AI 系统的模型引导自动化攻击的防御性误导
该 arXiv 论文研究智能体 AI 面临的提示注入与越狱攻击,指出攻击者正采用模型引导的自动化来扩展探测、提示优化和响应评估。作者用概率模型分析攻防设置,认为传统“检测并阻断”防御会因可预测的拒绝文本为自动搜索提供反馈,使攻击成功率(ASR)随查询预算增长趋近于 1;而“检测并误导”策略通过返回受控、非操作性响应诱导攻击者评判器产生假阳性,可降低其候选的阳性预测值并给出有界的渐近 ASR。作者提出轻量级对话误导方法 CMPE(Contextual Misdirection via Progressive Engagement),在越狱基准上称将估计 ASR 上界降低最多两个数量级,并在 PAIR、GPTFuzz、AutoDAN-Turbo 的端到端实验中几乎消除已验证的攻击成功。
AI推荐理由 arXiv 预印本(cs.CR/cs.AI),作者提出对智能体 AI 的模型引导自动化攻击进行防御性误导的分析框架,并给出 CMPE 概念验证方法。摘要称在 jailbreak 基准上把估计 ASR 上界降低最多两个数量级,并在 PAIR、GPTFuzz、AutoDAN-Turbo 端到端实验中几乎消除已验证的攻击成功。新信息在于把“检测并阻断”改为“检测并误导”,利用攻击者自动评判器的假阳性来限制 ASR;局限是仅为预印本、概念验证,未提供同行评审或独立复现证据,实际部署效果未知。

Abstract:Agentic AI systems increasingly rely on language-model components to interpret instructions, process external data, invoke tools, and coordinate with other agents.
These capabilities make prompt-injection and jailbreak attacks more consequential, especially as attackers adopt model-guided automation to scale probing, prompt refinement, and response evaluation.
This work analyzes the resulting attack-defense setting through a probabilistic model of a target system, its defense mechanism, and the attacker's automated judge.
Our analysis shows that conventional detect-and-block defenses can allow attacker success rate (ASR) to approach one as the query budget grows, since predictable refusals provide useful feedback to automated search.
We then examine detect-and-misdirect, where detected malicious interactions receive controlled, non-operational responses designed to induce false-positive errors in the attacker's judge.
This strategy reduces the positive predictive value of attacker-selected candidates and yields a bounded asymptotic ASR.
We evaluate a proof-of-concept realization of this strategy through Contextual Misdirection via Progressive Engagement (CMPE), a lightweight conversational misdirection method designed to replace predictable refusal text with safe but strategically misleading responses in automated jailbreak settings.
On jailbreak benchmarks, CMPE reduces estimated ASR upper bounds by up to two orders of magnitude and nearly eliminates verified attack success in end-to-end experiments with PAIR, GPTFuzz, and AutoDAN-Turbo.
