首次系统分析大模型机器人在感知-规划-执行链中的跨威胁协同攻击路径。
From Prompt to Physical Actuation: Holistic Threat Modeling of LLM-Enabled Robotic Systems

- 构建分层数据流图,结合STRIDE方法识别六类边界交互风险。
- 发现三类威胁在相同边界交汇,导致外部输入直接引发危险动作。
- 揭示缺乏语义校验、跨模态转换漏洞及工具调用无监督等架构缺陷。
随着大语言模型被集成到自主机器人系统中用于任务规划与控制,受损输入或不安全模型输出可能通过规划管道传播至物理世界后果。尽管已有研究分别关注机器人网络安全、对抗性感知攻击和大模型安全,但尚无工作统一建模这些威胁类别如何在信任边界间交互与传播。本文通过将大模型驱动的机器人置于边缘-云架构中,构建分层数据流图,并在六个跨边界交互点上应用基于交互的STRIDE分析,采用三类威胁分类法:传统网络威胁、对抗性威胁和对话式威胁。分析表明,这三类威胁在相同边界处汇聚,我们追踪了三条从外部入口到不安全物理动作的跨边界攻击链,分别暴露了用户输入与执行指令间缺乏独立语义验证、视觉感知到语言指令的跨模态转换漏洞,以及供应商侧工具使用造成的无中介边界穿越。据我们所知,这是首个基于数据流图、整合三类威胁并覆盖大模型机器人全感知-规划-执行链的威胁分析工作。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As large language models are integrated into autonomous robotic systems for task planning and control, compromised inputs or unsafe model outputs can propagate through the planning pipeline to physical-world consequences. Although prior work has studied robotic cybersecurity, adversarial perception attacks, and LLM safety independently, no existing study traces how these threat categories interact and propagate across trust boundaries in a unified architectural model. We address this gap by modeling an LLM-enabled autonomous robot in an edge-cloud architecture as a hierarchical Data Flow Diagram and applying STRIDE-per-interaction analysis across six boundary-crossing interaction points using a three-category taxonomy of Conventional Cyber Threats, Adversarial Threats, and Conversational Threats. The analysis reveals that these categories converge at the same boundary crossings, and we trace three cross-boundary attack chains from external entry points to unsafe physical actuation, each exposing a distinct architectural property: the absence of independent semantic validation between user input and actuator dispatch, cross-modal translation from visual perception to language-model instruction, and unmediated boundary crossing through provider-side tool use. To our knowledge, this is the first DFD-based threat analysis integrating all three threat categories across the full perception-planning-actuation pipeline of an LLM-enabled robotic system.
