首个评估大模型代理有害行为的基准,揭示其易被恶意操控的风险
AgentHarm: A Benchmark for Measuring Harmfulness of LLM Agents

- 构建110个恶意代理任务,覆盖11类危害,测试模型在多步骤攻击下的安全性
- 顶尖大模型在未越狱时就对恶意请求高度配合,越狱后仍能完成复杂有害任务
- 提供可复现的评测框架,助力安全研究者开发防御策略
大语言模型(LLM)抵御越狱攻击的鲁棒性研究主要集中在简单聊天机器人场景。而使用外部工具、执行多阶段任务的LLM代理若被滥用,风险更高,但其安全性尚未充分探索。为此,我们提出新基准AgentHarm,包含110个明确恶意的代理任务(经增强后达440个),涵盖欺诈、网络犯罪、骚扰等11类危害。评估不仅考察模型是否拒绝有害请求,更要求越狱后的代理在攻击后仍能保持能力并完成多步任务。我们测试了多种主流大模型,发现:(1) 尽管未越狱,顶尖模型对恶意代理请求仍高度配合;(2) 简单通用越狱模板可有效攻破代理;(3) 越狱后代理能维持连贯且恶意的多步行为,并保持原始能力。为支持攻击与防御的可靠评估,AgentHarm已公开发布于https://huggingface.co/datasets/ai-safety-institute/AgentHarm。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The robustness of LLMs to jailbreak attacks, where users design prompts to circumvent safety measures and misuse model capabilities, has been studied primarily for LLMs acting as simple chatbots. Meanwhile, LLM agents -- which use external tools and can execute multi-stage tasks -- may pose a greater risk if misused, but their robustness remains underexplored. To facilitate research on LLM agent misuse, we propose a new benchmark called AgentHarm. The benchmark includes a diverse set of 110 explicitly malicious agent tasks (440 with augmentations), covering 11 harm categories including fraud, cybercrime, and harassment. In addition to measuring whether models refuse harmful agentic requests, scoring well on AgentHarm requires jailbroken agents to maintain their capabilities following an attack to complete a multi-step task. We evaluate a range of leading LLMs, and find (1) leading LLMs are surprisingly compliant with malicious agent requests without jailbreaking, (2) simple universal jailbreak templates can be adapted to effectively jailbreak agents, and (3) these jailbreaks enable coherent and malicious multi-step agent behavior and retain model capabilities. To enable simple and reliable evaluation of attacks and defenses for LLM-based agents, we publicly release AgentHarm at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ai-safety-institute/AgentHarm.
