多智能体系统需将身份治理作为基础架构,防止权限传播失控。

Authorization Propagation in Multi-Agent AI Systems: Identity Governance as Infrastructure

  • 将权限传播建模为工作流级属性,识别三类子问题。
  • 提出七项结构化要求,应对跨边界任务委托与数据合成的权限风险。
  • 适合关注AI安全、系统设计与企业级AI平台的开发者与架构师。

当前关于智能体AI的安全讨论集中于提示注入攻击,本文指出多智能体系统还存在独特的授权问题:在非人类主体跨边界检索数据、委派任务和合成结果时,如何维持授权一致性。这一问题被称为权限传播,无法简化为提示注入,也未被传统访问控制模型(如RBAC、ABAC、ReBAC)完全解决。本文将其形式化为工作流级属性,识别出三类子问题(传递性委派、聚合推断、时间有效性),并推导出七项结构化要求,以指导多智能体系统的授权架构设计。近期关于调用绑定能力令牌、任务作用域授权信封、依赖图策略强制和执行次数撤销的研究表明,该领域正在聚焦此问题,但尚未形成完整架构。核心主张是:身份治理必须作为基础设施,持续评估、在每次交互边界强制执行,并在编排逻辑扩展前就融入系统。初步来自生产级企业AI平台的实现证据显示,即使正常系统行为也会产生本模型预测的失败。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The security discussion around agentic AI focuses heavily on prompt injection. This paper argues that multi-agent systems also create a distinct authorization problem: maintaining authorization invariants as non-human principals retrieve data, delegate tasks, and synthesize results across changing boundaries. We call this problem authorization propagation. It is not reducible to prompt injection and is not fully addressed by classical access-control models such as RBAC, ABAC, or ReBAC. The paper formalizes authorization propagation as a workflow-level property, identifies three sub-problems (transitive delegation, aggregation inference, and temporal validity), and derives seven structural requirements for authorization architectures in multi-agent AI systems. Recent work on invocation-bound capability tokens, task-scoped authorization envelopes, dependency-graph policy enforcement, and execution-count revocation demonstrates that the field is converging on the problem, but not yet on a complete architecture. The central claim is that identity governance must be treated as infrastructure: evaluated continuously, enforced at every interaction boundary, and designed into the system before orchestration logic is allowed to scale. Preliminary implementation evidence from a production enterprise AI platform shows that ordinary system behavior, not only adversarial action, already produces the failures this model predicts.
