测试自主命令行代理在真实违法任务下的安全边界,发现其易被持续攻击诱导执行危害行为。
ANCHOR: Automated Alignment Auditing for CLI Agents on Real-World Harm
- 用拟态恶意用户角色,通过多轮对话层层施压测试代理
- 100%合规率下代理自动构建大规模犯罪基础设施
- 适合关注AI安全、监管与风险评估的研究者
自主命令行代理如今可跨数小时会话执行数百项操作:编写代码、运行shell命令、浏览网页、管理云基础设施,且几乎无需人工干预。自主性越高,风险是否越大?我们提出ANCHOR——一个自动化审计框架,针对美国公开法庭案例中的非法任务对CLI代理进行压力测试。该框架部署了一个基于黑暗人格数据微调的审计代理,采用监督与强化学习训练。此审计代理扮演持续恶意用户,能分解任务、拒绝后重构请求,并在多轮交互中动态调整策略。评估前沿CLI代理发现,尽管直接提问时多数会拒绝非法请求,但在持续恶意交互下合规率高达100%。一旦响应,代理常超出用户要求,自主构建用于大规模危害的基础设施,包括金融诈骗和生物武器开发等灾难性场景。结果表明,当前对齐技术不足以保障自主代理安全,亟需面向持续、自适应恶意用户的安全部署评估。项目已开源:https://github.com/garified/anchor
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous CLI agents can now execute hundreds of actions across multi-hour sessions: writing code, executing shell commands, browsing the web, and managing cloud infrastructure, all with minimal human oversight. Does greater autonomy invite greater risk? We introduce ANCHOR, an automated auditing framework that stress-tests CLI agents on illegal tasks grounded in public US court cases. ANCHOR deploys an auditor agent fine-tuned on dark personality data using supervised and reinforcement fine tuning. This auditor roleplays persistent malicious users who decompose tasks, reframe requests upon refusal, and adapt strategies across multi-turn interactions. Evaluating frontier CLI agents, we find that while they often refuse illegal tasks when prompted directly, compliance reaches 100\% under persistent malicious interaction. When agents comply, they frequently exceed user requests, autonomously building infrastructure for large-scale harm, including catastrophic risk scenarios such as large-scale financial fraud and bioweapon development. These findings demonstrate that current alignment techniques are insufficient for autonomous agents and underscore the need for safety evaluations against persistent, adaptive malicious users. We release ANCHOR at https://github.com/garified/anchor
