Adversarial Resilience

对抗性韧性

Description

描述

Adversarial Resilience is the practice of hardening AI agents against deliberate attacks — prompt injection, data exfiltration, sandbox escape, and unauthorized capability escalation. As agents gain more access to tools, APIs, file systems, and code execution environments, the attack surface grows proportionally. An agent that can write files and execute shell commands is a powerful ally but also a potent attack vector if its instructions can be manipulated by adversarial input.
This skill addresses the security challenges encountered in building the Buddy™ agent at googleadsagent.ai™, where user-provided Google Ads data could theoretically contain injection payloads embedded in campaign names, ad copy, or keyword lists. The defensive patterns here apply to any agent that processes untrusted input — which, in practice, is every agent. Even "internal" tools are vulnerable to indirect injection through documents, code comments, and API responses that contain adversarial content.
The defense model operates in layers: input sanitization strips known attack patterns before they reach the model, instruction anchoring makes the system prompt resistant to override, output filtering prevents sensitive data from leaking through responses, permission boundaries restrict what the agent can do regardless of what it is told to do, and audit logging creates a forensic trail of every action for post-incident analysis.
对抗性韧性是一套强化 AI Agent 以抵御蓄意攻击的实践,涵盖 prompt injection(提示注入)、data exfiltration(数据外泄)、sandbox escape(沙箱逃逸)以及未经授权的 capability escalation(能力提升)。随着 Agent 获得对工具、API、文件系统和代码执行环境越来越多的访问权限,攻击面也会相应扩大。Agent 若既能写入文件又能执行 shell 命令,便是一股强大的助力;但如果其指令可被对抗性输入操纵,它也会成为极具威胁的攻击向量。
本 Skill 解决了构建 googleadsagent.ai™ 的 Buddy™ Agent 时遇到的安全挑战:用户提供的 Google Ads 数据理论上可能在广告系列名称、广告文案或关键词列表中嵌入注入载荷。这里的防御模式适用于任何处理不可信输入的 Agent——实际上,每个 Agent 都需处理此类输入。即便是“内部”工具,也可能通过包含对抗性内容的文档、代码注释和 API 响应而遭受间接注入。
防御模型按层运作:输入净化会在已知攻击模式到达模型前将其清除;指令锚定使系统提示不易被覆盖;输出过滤防止敏感数据通过响应泄露;权限边界限制 Agent 的行为,无论它被告知做什么;审计日志则为每个操作创建取证轨迹,供事件发生后分析。

Use When

使用场景

  • Agents process any form of user-provided or external input
  • The agent has access to sensitive tools (file write, shell execute, API calls)
  • Deployed agents are accessible to users outside your trusted organization
  • Compliance requirements mandate security controls for AI systems
  • You need to protect against both deliberate attacks and accidental injection
  • The agent operates in a multi-tenant environment with data isolation requirements
  • Agent 处理任何形式的用户提供输入或外部输入
  • Agent 可以访问敏感工具(文件写入、shell 执行、API 调用)
  • 已部署的 Agent 可供受信任组织之外的用户访问
  • 合规要求规定必须为 AI 系统实施安全控制
  • 需要同时防范蓄意攻击和意外注入
  • Agent 运行在具有数据隔离要求的多租户环境中

The five-layer defense model ensures that adversarial content is intercepted at the earliest possible point. Input sanitization detects and neutralizes known injection patterns before they enter the model's context. Instruction anchoring uses structural techniques (XML delimiters, priority declarations, identity reinforcement) to make the system prompt resistant to override. Output filtering scans generated responses for sensitive data leakage. Permission boundaries enforce hard limits on actions regardless of model intent. Audit logging provides complete forensic visibility into every input, decision, and action.

五层防御模型确保对抗性内容在尽可能早的阶段被拦截。输入净化会在已知注入模式进入模型上下文前检测并使其失效。指令锚定使用结构化技术(XML 分隔符、优先级声明、身份强化),使系统提示难以被覆盖。输出过滤会扫描生成的响应,以检测敏感数据泄露。无论模型有何意图,权限边界都会对操作施加强硬限制。审计日志则为每个输入、决策和操作提供完整的取证可见性。

Best Practices

最佳实践

  1. Treat all input as untrusted — even "internal" data can contain injection payloads from upstream systems; never trust data based on its source.
  2. Use structural delimiters, not verbal instructions —
    <user_data>
    XML tags are more robust boundaries than "the following is user data."
  3. Layer defenses independently — each layer should function even if adjacent layers fail; defense-in-depth means no single point of failure.
  4. Scan outputs before delivery — secrets and PII can leak through model responses; scan and redact before sending to the user.
  5. Enforce permissions at the execution layer — never rely on the model "choosing" not to do something dangerous; enforce limits in code.
  6. Log everything for forensics — every input, sanitization action, permission check, and output scan should be logged with timestamps.
  7. Update patterns from threat intelligence — injection techniques evolve; maintain a living pattern database that incorporates new attack vectors.
  8. Test with red-team exercises — regularly attempt to bypass your defenses using known injection techniques and novel attack patterns.
  1. 将所有输入视为不可信——即便是“内部”数据也可能包含来自上游系统的注入载荷;绝不因数据来源而信任数据。
  2. 使用结构化分隔符,而非口头指令——
    <user_data>
    XML 标签比“以下内容是用户数据。”更稳健。
  3. 独立分层防御——每一层即使相邻层失效也应可独立运行;纵深防御意味着不存在单点故障。
  4. 交付前扫描输出——密钥和 PII 可能通过模型响应泄露;发送给用户前扫描并脱敏。
  5. 在执行层强制实施权限限制——绝不依赖模型“选择”不做危险操作;在代码中强制限制。
  6. 记录所有内容以供取证——每个输入、净化操作、权限检查和输出扫描都应带时间戳记录。
  7. 依据威胁情报更新模式——注入技术不断演化;维护动态模式数据库,纳入新的攻击向量。
  8. 通过红队演练进行测试——定期尝试使用已知注入技术和新型攻击模式绕过防御。
