Agent 安全与护栏设计
Prompt Injection 防御、输出验证、沙盒隔离、权限系统与内容过滤实战
引言
当 Agent 具备了工具调用、网络访问和代码执行能力后，安全问题不再是理论威胁，而是实际的攻击面。一次成功的 Prompt Injection 可以让 Agent 泄露系统提示、调用未授权工具、甚至执行恶意代码。更危险的是，Agent 处理的输入通常来自不可信源——用户输入、网页内容、邮件正文——这些都可能携带精心构造的注入指令。
本文从攻击面分析到防御实现，系统构建 Agent 的安全护栏。
威胁模型
Agent 攻击面全景
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Agent 攻击面 │
│ │
│ 输入侧攻击 │
│ ├─ 直接 Prompt Injection (用户输入恶意指令) │
│ ├─ 间接 Prompt Injection (工具返回值中嵌入指令) │
│ ├─ 多轮逐步升级 (先建立信任再注入) │
│ └─ 编码绕过 (Base64/Unicode/翻译绕过) │
│ │
│ 工具侧攻击 │
│ ├─ 未授权工具调用 (调用不该调用的工具) │
│ ├─ 参数注入 (SQL注入/命令注入/路径穿越) │
│ ├─ 资源耗尽 (无限循环调用/大量数据请求) │
│ └─ 数据泄露 (通过工具外泄敏感信息) │
│ │
│ 输出侧攻击 │
│ ├─ 有害内容生成 (绕过安全过滤) │
│ ├─ 隐私泄露 (输出中包含 PII/凭证) │
│ ├─ 幻觉误导 (生成看似权威但错误的信息) │
│ └─ 社会工程 (帮助用户实施欺诈/攻击) │

内容安全 凭证屏蔽 全链路追踪
总结
- Prompt Injection 是头号威胁：直接和间接注入都需要防御，工具返回值是最容易被忽视的注入渠道。
- 权限最小化原则：Agent 只应该拥有完成任务所需的最小工具集和最低权限。
- 沙盒是执行的安全边界：任何代码执行必须在隔离环境中，限制资源、网络和文件系统访问。
- 输出过滤是最后防线：PII 脱敏和凭证屏蔽防止 Agent 在回答中意外泄露敏感信息。
- 审计日志是安全闭环：所有工具调用、权限判定和过滤动作都需要记录，用于事后分析和安全审计。
