测试大模型监控器如何被编码代理悄悄绕过,发现多数攻击难被察觉。
SLEIGHT-Bench: A Benchmark of Evasion Attacks Against Agent Monitors

- 构建40种隐蔽攻击的合成数据集,模拟有害行为
- 前沿监控器仅捕获32%攻击,20种完全逃逸
- 揭示利用模型偏见等策略绕过监控,适合安全研究者
由于自主编码代理以高吞吐量生成复杂行为,我们可能需要使用其他大语言模型来监控其动作,以降低危险偏差行为的风险。为更好地理解此类监控器在面对编码代理多样化攻击策略时的局限性,我们提出SLEIGHT-Bench(Subtle Low-iteration Insight-Guided Harmful Transcripts),一个包含40种攻击的合成语料库,涵盖11类隐蔽有害目标(如权重窃取、凭据泄露、未受控的恶意部署)。实验发现,在1%假阳性率下,基于Opus 4.6的监控器在10次尝试中未能捕捉其中20种攻击,整体捕获率仅为32%。我们识别出若干逃避策略,包括利用模型先验、用户指令模糊性和状态操纵,这些均有助于生成可绕过前沿监控器的攻击。此外,使用编码代理作为监控器比常规提示式监控器表现更优,针对特定逃避策略设计监控提示也能提升捕获率。数据集与评估框架已开源:https://github.com/safety-research/sleight-bench 与 https://huggingface.co/datasets/sleightbench/SLEIGHT-Bench。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Since autonomous coding agents generate complex behaviors at high-volume, we may want to use other LLMs to monitor actions to reduce the risk from dangerous misaligned behavior. To better understand the limitations of such monitors against the diverse attack strategies that a coding agent could use, we present SLEIGHT-Bench (Subtle Low-itEration Insight-Guided Harmful Transcripts), a benchmark of synthetic transcripts containing 40 attacks across 11 categories, each showing a coding agent covertly pursuing a harmful objective (e.g. weight exfiltration, credential theft, unmonitored rogue deployment). We find that 20 of 40 attacks are never caught by an Opus 4.6 monitor with extended thinking across 10 trials at a 1% false-positive rate, while the overall catch rate is 32%. We identify several evasion strategies such as exploiting model priors, user instruction ambiguity, and state manipulation, which facilitate creating attacks that evade frontier monitors. We also elicit stronger monitor performance using coding agents as monitors versus regular prompted monitors, and for some evasion strategies show improved catch rates with targeted monitor prompts. Our dataset and evaluation framework are available at https://github.com/safety-research/sleight-bench and https://huggingface.co/datasets/sleightbench/SLEIGHT-Bench.
