大型语言模型的演进使移动计算从应用中心转向系统级自主代理。当前实现多依赖“屏幕即接口”范式,继承了结构性漏洞,并与移动生态经济基础冲突。本文以斗宝手机助手为典型,系统分析移动代理的安全威胁,将其分解为代理身份、外部接口、内部推理和动作执行四个维度,揭示虚假应用身份、视觉欺骗、间接提示注入及未授权权限提升等关键缺陷,根源在于对非结构化视觉数据的依赖。为此,我们提出Aura——一种面向安全代理操作系统的通用运行时架构。Aura以干净起点重构系统,以结构化代理原生交互取代脆弱的GUI抓取,采用枢纽-辐条拓扑:特权系统代理协调意图,沙箱应用代理执行领域任务,代理内核统一管理通信。代理内核实施四大防御支柱:(i) 通过全球代理注册表实现加密身份绑定;(ii) 多层语义防火墙进行输入净化;(iii) 通过污染感知内存与计划轨迹对齐保障认知完整性;(iv) 实现细粒度访问控制与不可否认审计。在MobileSafetyBench上的评估显示,相较于斗宝,Aura将低风险任务成功率从约75%提升至94.3%,高风险攻击成功率从约40%降至4.4%,并实现近数量级延迟优化。结果表明,Aura是“屏幕即接口”范式的可行且安全替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has shifted mobile computing from App-centric interactions to system-level autonomous agents. Current implementations predominantly rely on a "Screen-as-Interface" paradigm, which inherits structural vulnerabilities and conflicts with the mobile ecosystem's economic foundations. In this paper, we conduct a systematic security analysis of state-of-the-art mobile agents using Doubao Mobile Assistant as a representative case. We decompose the threat landscape into four dimensions - Agent Identity, External Interface, Internal Reasoning, and Action Execution - revealing critical flaws such as fake App identity, visual spoofing, indirect prompt injection, and unauthorized privilege escalation stemming from a reliance on unstructured visual data. To address these challenges, we propose Aura, an Agent Universal Runtime Architecture for a clean-slate secure agent OS. Aura replaces brittle GUI scraping with a structured, agent-native interaction model. It adopts a Hub-and-Spoke topology where a privileged System Agent orchestrates intent, sandboxed App Agents execute domain-specific tasks, and the Agent Kernel mediates all communication. The Agent Kernel enforces four defense pillars: (i) cryptographic identity binding via a Global Agent Registry; (ii) semantic input sanitization through a multilayer Semantic Firewall; (iii) cognitive integrity via taint-aware memory and plan-trajectory alignment; and (iv) granular access control with non-deniable auditing. Evaluation on MobileSafetyBench shows that, compared to Doubao, Aura improves low-risk Task Success Rate from roughly 75% to 94.3%, reduces high-risk Attack Success Rate from roughly 40% to 4.4%, and achieves near-order-of-magnitude latency gains. These results demonstrate Aura as a viable, secure alternative to the "Screen-as-Interface" paradigm.
