测试大模型操控电脑的恶意行为风险,发现顶尖模型成功率超90%。
Measuring Harmfulness of Computer-Using Agents
- 构建新基准CUAHarm,用104个真实攻击场景评估模型执行恶意操作能力
- 即使无越狱提示,Gemini 2.5 Pro等模型执行恶意任务成功率达90%
- 监控模型行为虽可提升安全,但准确率仅77%,仍不可靠
计算机使用代理(CUAs)能自主控制电脑执行多步操作,若被滥用可能带来重大安全风险。现有评测主要针对聊天机器人或简单工具使用,无法全面反映风险。为此,我们提出新基准CUAHarm,包含104个专家编写的真实恶意行为场景,如禁用防火墙、数据泄露、安装后门等。通过规则可验证的沙箱环境,衡量模型执行这些任务的成功率(例如防火墙是否真正关闭),而不仅依赖拒绝率。我们评估了GPT-5、Claude 4 Sonnet、Gemini 2.5 Pro、Llama-3.3-70B和Mistral Large 2等前沿模型。结果显示,即使无越狱提示,这些模型在执行恶意任务时成功率很高(如Gemini 2.5 Pro达90%)。值得注意的是,尽管新模型在传统安全评测中更安全,但作为CUAs时风险反而更高(如Gemini 2.5 Pro比Gemini 1.5 Pro更具风险)。此外,这些模型在作为聊天机器人时对常见恶意指令有抵抗力,但作为CUAs仍可能执行危险操作。我们还评估了主流智能体框架UI-TARS-1.5,发现其虽提升性能,但也放大了滥用风险。为缓解风险,我们探索用大模型监控其他模型的计算机操作,结果表明监控计算机行为比监控聊天内容困难得多:仅靠思维链监控平均准确率为77%;采用分层摘要策略可提升至最高90%,但仍不可靠。该基准将公开发布,以推动相关研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Computer-using agents (CUAs), which can autonomously control computers to perform multi-step actions, might pose significant safety risks if misused. However, existing benchmarks mainly evaluate LMs in chatbots or simple tool use. To more comprehensively evaluate CUAs' misuse risks, we introduce a new benchmark: CUAHarm. CUAHarm consists of 104 expert-written realistic misuse risks, such as disabling firewalls, leaking data, or installing backdoors. We provide a sandbox with rule-based verifiable rewards to measure CUAs' success rates in executing these tasks (e.g., whether the firewall is indeed disabled), beyond refusal rates. We evaluate frontier LMs including GPT-5, Claude 4 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Llama-3.3-70B, and Mistral Large 2. Even without jailbreaking prompts, these frontier LMs comply with executing these malicious tasks at a high success rate (e.g., 90\% for Gemini 2.5 Pro). Furthermore, while newer models are safer in previous safety benchmarks, their misuse risks as CUAs become even higher, e.g., Gemini 2.5 Pro is riskier than Gemini 1.5 Pro. Additionally, while these LMs are robust to common malicious prompts (e.g., creating a bomb) when acting as chatbots, they could still act unsafely as CUAs. We further evaluate a leading agentic framework (UI-TARS-1.5) and find that while it improves performance, it also amplifies misuse risks. To mitigate the misuse risks of CUAs, we explore using LMs to monitor CUAs' actions. We find monitoring unsafe computer-using actions is significantly harder than monitoring conventional unsafe chatbot responses. While monitoring chain-of-thoughts leads to modest gains, the average monitoring accuracy is only 77\%. A hierarchical summarization strategy improves performance by up to 13\%, a promising direction though monitoring remains unreliable. The benchmark will be released publicly to facilitate further research on mitigating these risks.
