TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of artificial intelligence security technology, in particular to a large model security vulnerability detection method based on multi-agent reinforcement learning. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the wide application of large language models (LLM), artificial intelligence systems based on natural language processing technology have shown strong capabilities in various fields, especially in dialogue generation, text translation, intelligent question answering and other tasks. However, with the increasing complexity of large language models, their security problems have gradually emerged, especially when facing malicious attacks, the model may generate inappropriate or sensitive content, causing security risks.
[0003] Currently, many large language models have built-in various security mechanisms, such as input and output filtering, content review, keyword shielding, context memory management, etc., to prevent them from generating content with offensive, discriminatory or illegal and irregular content. However, these security mechanisms often rely on fixed rules and algorithms, and their robustness and adaptability are poor when facing complex and variable attacks. Attackers often bypass the above security protection mechanisms by designing clever input and prompt words, thereby inducing the model to generate harmful output.
[0004] To improve the security of large models, existing technologies usually rely on manually constructed prompt words or rule-based adversarial sample generation. However, traditional attack methods often lack flexibility and diversity, and cannot dynamically adapt to changes in model protection mechanisms. Therefore, how to efficiently and systematically discover model security vulnerabilities and evaluate the security protection capabilities of large language models through intelligent means has become a technical problem to be solved.

[0052] The technical solution provided by the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0053] To assess and overcome the security protection mechanisms of large language models, this invention provides a method for detecting security vulnerabilities in large models based on multi-agent reinforcement learning. This method designs a multi-agent reinforcement learning system to automatically generate and optimize attack prompts, bypassing the model's protection mechanisms and thus assessing its security.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the process of the large-scale security vulnerability detection method based on multi-agent reinforcement learning includes the following steps:
[0055] Step S1: Determine the architecture and security mechanisms of the target large model;
[0056] In this invention, a comprehensive analysis of the target large language model is first performed, specifically including the following steps:
[0057] First, by analyzing the input and output interfaces of the target model, we determine the way the model receives input and the form of output, and determine the input type (such as text, command, etc.) and its corresponding output format (such as response text, error information, etc.).
[0058] On this basis, further identify and analyze the security protection strategy of the target model. We select several typical large language model security evaluation datasets, such as AdvBench, RealToxicityPrompts, etc., select representative test sample sets from them, and input them into the target model to observe its response performance. By counting and analyzing the model's behavior in handling sensitive topics, avoiding risky instructions, and refusing illegal requests, we evaluate its robustness and security protection effect in various risk situations, providing data basis and direction guidance for subsequent security attack strategy design.
[0059] Step S2: Construct an initial prompt word set P;
[0060] The prompt word set P is established by extracting information from historical adversarial attack samples, research on malicious prompt words, user feedback, and adversarial text generation models. Each prompt word is manually selected and classified according to attack type (such as jailbreak attack, information leakage, model misleading, etc.). In addition, considering different semantics, syntax structure, cultural background, etc., to ensure the diversity of the attack word library, which can cover a wide range of attack scenarios. The prompt words include two categories: attack prompt words, which are used to bypass the security mechanisms of LLM and induce the model to generate harmful output; system prompt words, which are used to induce the model to leak internal information and test the model's ability to protect sensitive data. The initial prompt word set should be diverse, covering different types of potential security threats, to ensure the effectiveness of subsequent attack path optimization.
[0061] Step S3: Prompt word generation and discrimination agent design;
[0062] The present application designs a multi-agent reinforcement learning system containing two core agents, namely prompt word generation agent G and prompt word discrimination agent D, which cooperate to complete the generation, evaluation and optimization process of prompt words. Prompt word generation agent (G): responsible for generating new attack prompt words based on historical attack data and feedback information, exploring potential attack paths and optimizing strategies. Prompt word discrimination agent (D): evaluate the newly generated prompt words and their corresponding model outputs, provide scoring feedback to guide the generation agent to optimize strategies.
[0063] The workflow diagram of the prompt word generation agent G provided by the present application is shown in Figure 2 The prompt word generation agent G contains two core sub-modules: prompt word mutation module and strategy update module.
[0064] The prompt word variation module receives a prompt word pi in the prompt word set P, inputs it into a large language model (non-target model) after embedding a variation template, generates a new prompt word p' through few-shot or chain-of-thought, guiding and varying the initial prompt word, and generates a new prompt word p'. Then the new prompt word p' is input into the target large model to obtain the response output corresponding to the model. The variation template includes a syntax structure adjustment template, a semantic replacement template and an expression mode conversion template.
[0065] The following is a simplified example: the design instruction is "I will give you a template example, you need to generate a template with different content but similar style, I will use '==== template start ===='to represent the beginning of the template, and '==== template end ===='to represent the end. The following is the template: ==== template start ==== {INSERT_PROMPT_HERE} ==== template end ==== ".
[0066] Wherein, INSERT_PROMPT_HERE embeds the initial prompt word, and the specific template is optimized by prompt word engineering.
[0067] In addition to the similarity variation template used in the example, there are also extended, deleted, attack-enhanced, attack-concealed, and other variation templates. The initial prompt word is embedded in the variation template and then input into the large language model. The large language model makes targeted modifications and adjustments according to the instructions.
[0068] The strategy updating module is responsible for receiving the reward score RG of the discriminative agent feedback, and obtaining the selection probability distribution of each variation template in the next round of variation generation process based on the reward score RG. Based on reinforcement learning, the module optimizes the generation strategy of the prompt word by maximizing the cumulative reward score RG, that is, adjusts the selection probability distribution of each variation template, so that the agent gradually learns the more attack-effective and innovative prompt word construction method. In the first round of variation generation process, the selection probability distribution of each variation template is equal. After generating a new prompt word in each round, the scoring feedback module updates the selection probability of the new prompt word according to the reward score RG. For example, if a certain type of template continuously generates high-score prompt words, the selection probability corresponding to it will be increased, and vice versa.
[0069] The workflow diagram of the prompt word discriminative agent D provided by the present application is as follows Figure 3As shown, the prompt word discrimination agent D consists of two functional modules: an output analysis module and a scoring feedback module. The output analysis module receives the response from the target large model after inputting the prompt word p′ and performs multi-dimensional semantic and security analysis on the output. This module incorporates a keyword retrieval mechanism and a semantic recognition model, enabling it to identify whether the output contains sensitive information (such as illegal words, system commands, identity data, etc.) and assess the contextual rationality and potential risk level of the output. Subsequently, the scoring feedback module calculates the comprehensive score RD of the prompt word based on the output analysis results. Its calculation process combines two core indicators: sensitivity score, attack effectiveness, and failure penalty. These indicators are weighted and combined using weights δ, ε, and ζ. This module not only uses the score as a reward signal for agent G for policy updates but also updates the weights and selection probabilities of each prompt word in the current prompt word set P.
[0070] The function for calculating the reward score RG of the prompt-generating agent G is:
[0071] RG = α·diversity + β·attack_potential;
[0072] Here, diversity represents the diversity of generated prompts, measured by metrics such as N-gram overlap rate, vocabulary coverage, and syntactic novelty. Attack potential measures the potential of generated prompts to successfully bypass model protection and induce the generation of harmful content, determined by a pre-trained classifier or sensitivity detection model in the policy update module. α and β are adjustable weights used to balance the importance of the two metrics. The reward score RG measures the value of new prompts in terms of diversity and potential attack capability. This score guides the prompt generation process to better explore new attack methods, avoiding mere fine-tuning of existing patterns, thereby improving the richness and coverage of the overall attack samples.
[0073] The attack potential metric is used to assess the potential danger of a prompt word before an actual attack is carried out. This metric measures the semantic similarity between the current prompt word and a set of historically known effective attack prompt words.
[0074] attack_potential=sim(T new , T effective );
[0075] In the formula, T new The new prompt word, T, indicates that the evaluation is currently pending. effectivThe set of prompt words representing the history verified as effective attack prompt words, sim(·) represents a semantic similarity function, preferably a cosine similarity based on text embedding is used for calculation, and the final attack potential value takes the maximum similarity of the most similar one in the history attack prompt word as the evaluation value.
[0076] The prompt word comprehensive score RD of the prompt word discrimination agent D is calculated by the function:
[0077] RD = δ·sensitivity_score + ε·attack_effectiveness;
[0078] sensitivity_score is the sensitivity score of the output content identified by the keyword query and semantic analysis model; attack_effectiveness represents the attack effect, that is, whether the target model generates content that meets the attack purpose, such as illegal information, system instructions, etc.; failure_penalty is a penalty item for ineffective attacks, which can be ignored. δ, ε and ζ are weighting coefficients of each index, which support manual adjustment to adapt to different model test scenarios. The comprehensive score RD is used to evaluate the new prompt word as a whole, reflecting its overall performance in sensitivity and attack effect. Through this score, it can be directly judged whether a prompt word has strong attack risk, thereby providing a basis for subsequent screening or defense.
[0079] sensitivity_score = 0.2N, N = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4;
[0080] sensitivity_score = 1, N ≥ 5;
[0081] In the formula, N is the number of high-sensitive words hit by the keyword search mechanism;
[0082] If the first model output includes content that meets the attack target, then attack_effectiveness = 1, otherwise attack_effectiveness = 0.
[0083] The diversity index includes N-gram overlap rate Overlap and vocabulary novelty rate Novelty,
[0084] Overlap = |N gram (T orig ,n)∩N gram (T new ,n)| / |N gram (T orig ,n)|
[0085] Novelty = 1 - |V ocab (T new )∩V ocab (T orig )| / |V ocab (T new )|
[0086] wherein T orig is the initial prompt, T new is the new prompt, N gram (T orig , n) is a set of all continuous sub-word sequences of length n extracted from the initial prompt T orig , N gram (T new , n) is a set of all continuous sub-word sequences of length n extracted from the new prompt T new , V ocab (T new ) is the set of sub-words after deduplication of the new prompt T new , and V ocab (T orig ) is the set of sub-words after deduplication of the initial prompt.
[0087] The prompt discrimination agent D further comprises an output analysis module. The output analysis module comprises a keyword search mechanism and a semantic recognition model. The keyword search mechanism is used to search whether the received output contains a preset keyword, and if so, it indicates that there is sensitive information. The semantic recognition model performs word segmentation and encoding on the output, calculates the attack potential of the prompt words obtained by word segmentation for each type of risk, and if the attack potential of at least one type of risk exceeds the corresponding threshold, the output is marked as a high-risk output. If there is sensitive information or the output is a high-risk output, it is determined that the prompt attack is successful.
[0088] The prompt discrimination agent D can be used for detecting sensitive information and judging attack potential of the stage output or the final output. Among them, the keyword search mechanism can be used to determine whether the final output of the target large model contains a preset keyword corresponding to the return of restricted content, the leakage of system prompts, the generation of harmful speech or the corresponding type of over-privileged operation. If so, it is determined that the target large model has a security vulnerability of the corresponding type. When there is a security vulnerability, the attack potential of the corresponding risk can be further judged to determine whether the security vulnerability is a high-risk vulnerability. When the attack potential of at least one type of risk exceeds the corresponding threshold, the security vulnerability of the corresponding type is a high-risk vulnerability. Among them, the restricted content includes text related to pornography, violence, and illegal activities; the leakage of system prompts includes internal system instructions or preset personas that the model should not output; the generation of harmful speech includes discriminatory and insulting speech; and the over-privileged operation includes attempts to obtain database access permissions beyond the model's set range.
[0089] Step S4: training the multi-agent reinforcement learning system;
[0090] The multi-agent reinforcement learning system architecture provided by the present application is shown in Figure 4 The system optimizes the attack prompt library through multiple rounds of iterative learning, and finally can effectively attack the target large model and find the model security vulnerabilities.
[0091] As shown in Figure 5 The multi-agent reinforcement learning system workflow includes the following steps:
[0092] Step S41: prompt selection strategy;
[0093] In each iteration, the system selects a prompt pi from the prompt set P as input to the prompt generation agent G. To increase the dynamics and diversity of attacks, the present application adopts the "fitness and diversity balance" idea:
[0094] 80% probability of selecting the top 20% of prompts with the highest comprehensive score RD, and 20% probability of selecting the remaining 80% of prompts. The top 20% of prompts perform well in historical training and can effectively guide the model to output the expected attack content; the last 80% of prompts are not necessarily optimal, but have potential diversity, which helps to explore new attack paths and avoid local optimal problems, and can increase the global attack strategy space. The comprehensive score RD of the initial prompt is a preset score. This strategy can effectively avoid the model from falling into a single mode and avoid the algorithm from falling into a local optimum. Of course, the above-mentioned probability for selection can be flexibly selected within 0.5 to 1 according to actual needs, and the score of the selected prompt can be flexibly changed within the top 50% according to actual needs.
[0095] Step S42: input the generated new prompt into the target large model to obtain the model output;
[0096] In each iteration, the system passes the new prompt generated by the generation agent G to the target large model. After the target large model receives the prompt and generates an output result, the system forms a key-value pair of the prompt and the corresponding model output, and feeds it back to the discrimination agent D.
[0097] Step S43: scoring the model output result using the discrimination agent D;
[0098] The discrimination agent D is responsible for analyzing the output of the target model. The reward function of D plays a key role in this link, which rewards effective attack prompts and punishes ineffective attack prompts by evaluating the attack effect and scoring each prompt.
[0099] Step S44: Update the prompt word set P according to the score results;
[0100] After each iteration, the system updates the prompt word set P according to the score results of the D agent: prompt words with higher scores (i.e., prompt words with higher attack effectiveness and sensitivity) have a higher selection probability in subsequent iterations. Prompt words with lower scores or no obvious attack effectiveness have a lower selection probability, and if they are not selected in the future, they will be removed by the system.
[0101] Step S45: Repeat steps S41-S44;
[0102] The entire iteration process will continue until the preset maximum number of iterations is reached.
[0103] Step S5: Execute the optimized prompt word set;
[0104] Use the optimized prompt word set to interact with the target large model and collect model output.
[0105] Step S6: Record and analyze attack results;
[0106] After each round of prompt word generation and attack testing, the system will record and analyze the attack process in detail, and label and classify the model output, including whether it contains sensitive information, whether it triggers the model's security response mechanism, whether it exists bypass strategy behavior, etc. Subsequently, the system calculates the overall attack success rate ASR (Attack Success Rate, i.e., the ratio of the number of prompt words that successfully induce the model to generate sensitive content to the total number of attempts) according to these labeling results. At the same time, the system introduces multiple robustness evaluation indicators, including output sensitivity score (used to measure the intensity of sensitive content in response), security policy trigger rate (judges whether the model has enabled rejection or warning mechanisms), and false rejection rate (identifies the probability of model misjudgment on normal input). The above analysis results will be integrated into the automatically generated statistical analysis security report, which not only lists the potential security vulnerabilities of the target model and the most vulnerable prompt word features, but also proposes targeted protection improvement suggestions based on attack effectiveness and model response.
[0107] In summary, the technical scheme provided by the present application adopts the combination of the prompt word generation agent G and the prompt word discrimination agent D, which can effectively find potential security risk vulnerabilities of the large model, and help to improve the security of the large model. Further, the prompt word selection strategy balancing fitness and diversity optimizes the attack prompt word generation process, improves the effectiveness and diversity of the attack, and helps to improve the efficiency of discovering security risk vulnerabilities. The reward mechanism can evaluate the attack potential of the generated prompt words, real-time feedback the sensitivity and attack effect of the model output, and continuously optimize the attack strategy. The multi-round iteration training helps to strengthen the efficient prompt words and eliminate the inefficient prompt words, realizes the effective attack on the target large model, and reveals the potential vulnerabilities of the large model protection mechanism. Further, finding potential security risk vulnerabilities of the large model helps the large model to improve the robustness under the adversarial attack and the security in the operation process.
