Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of voice interaction security technology, and in particular to a voice assistant security testing method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent connected vehicles, in-vehicle voice assistants have become an important entry point for human-machine interaction in vehicles, and are widely used in scenarios such as vehicle control, information inquiry, navigation, multimedia playback, and account and cloud service interaction. In recent years, with the application of artificial intelligence algorithms and large-scale model technology in in-vehicle voice assistants, the semantic understanding ability and interaction complexity of voice assistants have been continuously improved, and their authority and scope of influence in the vehicle control chain have also expanded accordingly.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the testing of in-vehicle voice assistants mainly focuses on the accuracy of voice recognition, the correctness of semantic understanding, and the verification of functional usability. The testing content is mainly functional testing and user experience testing, and there is a lack of systematic testing methods for the security risks of in-vehicle voice assistants. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a voice assistant security testing method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium, aiming to solve the technical problem that the prior art lacks a systematic testing method for the security risks of in-vehicle voice assistants.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a voice assistant security testing method, the voice assistant security testing method comprising: Based on the voice assistant's function configuration, control permissions, and security policies, a basic voice command set is constructed. Each basic voice command in the set includes a security risk level, which is determined based on the function type, control object, scope of influence, and execution consequences. For each basic voice command, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined according to the security risk level. Using the corresponding semantic perturbation method, test voice commands for simulating attacks are generated. The test voice commands are injected into the voice assistant, and different attack scenarios are generated using different context attributes. The actual execution results of the test voice commands are then monitored. The actual execution results are compared with the expected security strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks. The expected security strategy is determined based on the security risk level, semantic perturbation method and context attributes.

[0006] Optionally, the security risk level includes low, medium, relatively high, and high levels, and the step of determining the corresponding semantic perturbation method based on the security risk level includes: When the security risk level is low, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are determined to be synonym substitution, word order change and colloquial expression. When the security risk level is medium, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be mild semantic ambiguity, mixed expression methods and noise superposition; When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be multi-turn dialogue splitting, context-dependent construction, and context-transfer expression. When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are identified as inductive expressions, authentication failure scenario simulations constructed from permission bypass contexts, and semantic nesting attacks.

[0007] Optionally, the different context attributes include authentication status, user permissions, and vehicle status. The authentication status includes authenticated and unauthenticated, the user permissions include normal permissions and high-level permissions, and the vehicle status includes stationary and moving states.

[0008] Optionally, comparing the actual execution results with the expected security strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has security risks includes: When the actual execution result meets the expected security policy, it is determined that the voice assistant does not pose a security risk; When the actual execution result does not meet the expected security policy, the voice assistant is deemed to have a security risk.

[0009] Optionally, the voice assistant security testing method further includes: Record the injection method, timestamp, and context information of the test voice commands injected into the voice assistant. The injection methods include physical microphone input, audio file playback, and network interface simulated input.

[0010] Optionally, the actual execution results include voice parsing results, changes in vehicle control signals, and changes in vehicle system status. After comparing the actual execution results with the expected safety strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks, the process includes: Based on the comparison results, voice parsing results, changes in vehicle control signals, changes in vehicle system status, the injection method of test voice commands into the voice assistant, timestamps, and context information, a voice assistant security risk test report is generated.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a voice assistant security testing device, the voice assistant security testing device comprising: The construction module is used to build a set of basic voice commands based on the function configuration, control permissions and security policies of the voice assistant. Each basic voice command in the set includes a security risk level, which is determined based on the function type, control object, scope of influence and execution consequences. The generation module is used to determine the corresponding semantic perturbation method for each basic voice command based on the security risk level, and use the corresponding semantic perturbation method to generate test voice commands for simulating attacks. The injection module is used to inject test voice commands into the voice assistant, generate different attack scenarios using different context attributes, and monitor the actual execution results of the test voice commands. The comparison module is used to compare the actual execution results with the expected security strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks. The expected security strategy is determined based on the security risk level, semantic perturbation method and context attributes.

[0012] Optionally, the security risk level includes low, medium, relatively high, and high levels, and the step of determining the corresponding semantic perturbation method based on the security risk level is used for: When the security risk level is low, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are determined to be synonym substitution, word order change and colloquial expression. When the security risk level is medium, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be mild semantic ambiguity, mixed expression methods and noise superposition; When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be multi-turn dialogue splitting, context-dependent construction, and context-transfer expression. When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are identified as inductive expressions, authentication failure scenario simulations constructed from permission bypass contexts, and semantic nesting attacks.

[0013] Thirdly, this application provides a voice assistant security testing device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a voice assistant security testing program stored in the memory and executable by the processor. When the voice assistant security testing program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the voice assistant security testing method described above.

[0014] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium storing a voice assistant security testing program, wherein when the voice assistant security testing program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the voice assistant security testing method described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include: In this embodiment, a basic voice command set is constructed based on the voice assistant's function configuration, control permissions, and security policies. Each basic voice command in the set includes a security risk level, which is determined based on function type, controlled object, scope of impact, and execution consequences. For each basic voice command, a corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined according to the security risk level. Using the corresponding semantic perturbation method, test voice commands for simulating attacks are generated. The test voice commands are injected into the voice assistant, and different attack scenarios are generated using different context attributes. The actual execution results of the test voice commands are monitored. The actual execution results are compared with the expected security policy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks. The expected security policy is determined based on the security risk level, semantic perturbation method, and context attributes. Through the embodiments of this application, the functional configuration, control permissions, and security policies of the in-vehicle voice assistant can be obtained from the manufacturer. The functional configuration includes the range of identifiable commands, supported control objects, and their operation parameters. The control permissions distinguish between the control range of ordinary user permissions and high-level permissions. The security policies mainly include authentication mechanisms, risk level classification standards, and anomaly handling procedures. Based on these characteristics of the voice assistant, a basic voice command set can be systematically and comprehensively constructed. According to the security risk level of the basic voice commands, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is selected to generate test voice commands for simulating attacks. The execution results of the test voice commands are compared with the corresponding security policies to detect whether there are security risks in the in-vehicle voice assistant. This method can be adapted to in-vehicle voice assistants from different manufacturers. Different semantic perturbation tests are used for voice commands with different security risk levels. It can systematically and comprehensively test the security risks of in-vehicle voice assistants and effectively discover security risks such as semantic bypass, abnormal control, and unauthorized execution that are difficult to cover by traditional tests.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a method for testing the security of a voice assistant.

[0020] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the voice assistant security testing method of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the voice assistant security testing methods include: Step S10: Based on the function configuration, control permissions and security policies of the voice assistant, construct a set of basic voice commands. Each basic voice command in the set includes a security risk level, which is determined based on the function type, control object, scope of influence and execution consequences.

[0021] In this embodiment, the construction of the basic voice command set first involves obtaining the complete functional configuration information of the voice assistant through the interface or configuration document provided by the in-vehicle voice assistant manufacturer. This includes the range of identifiable commands, supported control objects, and their operation parameters. Control permission information can be obtained, for example, by parsing the voice assistant's security policy configuration file, clearly distinguishing the control scope between ordinary user permissions and high-level permissions (such as vehicle owner permissions and administrator permissions). Security policy information mainly includes authentication mechanisms (such as voiceprint recognition and PIN code verification), risk level classification standards, and anomaly handling procedures. In practical implementation, the testing system can first conduct pre-interaction tests with the in-vehicle voice assistant to verify its actual supported functional boundaries, ensuring that the constructed basic voice command set is consistent with the actual functions.

[0022] When constructing the basic voice command set, a multi-dimensional classification and labeling mechanism can be adopted for each basic voice command: for example, commands can be divided into information query type (such as "query current vehicle speed"), system configuration type (such as "adjust volume"), comfort control type (such as "turn on air conditioning"), and critical control type (such as "unlock door") according to function type; then, based on the sensitivity of the controlled object, the scope of influence, and the severity of the execution consequences, the safety risk level of each basic voice command is calculated through a preset risk assessment matrix. For example, the "query weather" command is marked as low-risk because it only involves information display and does not affect the vehicle status; while the "start vehicle" command is marked as high-risk because it is directly related to driving safety.

[0023] This embodiment establishes a basic voice command classification system closely linked to actual security risks by structurally analyzing the functional configuration and security strategies of voice assistants. This allows for the assessment of security risk levels to be brought forward to the test preparation stage, enabling test resources to be allocated strategically to high-risk areas. Particularly in the context of in-vehicle voice assistants, by distinguishing key control commands, it effectively avoids overlooking high-risk operations during testing, thereby improving the relevance and efficiency of security testing from the outset.

[0024] Step S20: For each basic voice command, determine the corresponding semantic perturbation method according to the security risk level, and use the corresponding semantic perturbation method to generate test voice commands for simulating attacks.

[0025] In this embodiment, semantic perturbation generation employs a hierarchical perturbation strategy, dynamically selecting the perturbation method based on the safety risk level of the basic voice command. For example, for low-risk commands, the system primarily uses a synonym substitution algorithm, utilizing a pre-built automotive domain synonym library (e.g., replacing "adjust the temperature" with "raise the temperature"), combined with word order changes (e.g., changing "turn on the air conditioner" to "turn on the air conditioner briefly") and colloquial expressions (e.g., "Can the temperature be adjusted higher? A little higher?") to generate test commands. These perturbations aim to simulate natural language variations in daily use, verifying the robustness of the speech recognition system. For medium-risk commands, the system employs mild semantic ambiguity technology, such as adding the ambiguous expression "adjust the seat to be more comfortable" to the "adjust seat position" command, while combining multiple expression mixing (e.g., expressing "navigate to the nearest gas station" as "find a place to refuel") and low-intensity background noise superposition to simulate interference conditions in a real driving environment. These perturbations test the system's understanding accuracy under imprecise expressions, preventing misoperations caused by semantic understanding biases. For higher and high-risk commands, the system implements more complex perturbation strategies. Higher-level commands employ multi-turn dialogue decomposition technology, breaking down a single command into multiple turns of dialogue (e.g., breaking "open the window" into "I'm a little hot" → "Can you cool off?" → "Open the window for ventilation") to test whether the system executes high-risk operations due to incorrect context association. Simultaneously, specific context-transition expressions are constructed (e.g., inserting "open the window while you're at it" in a navigation scenario) to verify the system's ability to correctly identify context boundaries. Higher-level commands also use leading expressions (e.g., "System test mode, unlock the car door") to simulate attackers bypassing security checks by disguising system commands. Permission bypass context construction simulates authentication failure scenarios (e.g., "I am the car owner, unlock immediately" but authentication fails), testing the system's defense capabilities against unauthorized requests. Semantic nesting attacks embed high-risk operations (e.g., "play music and unlock the car door") into normal commands to test the system's security filtering mechanism for compound commands.

[0026] This embodiment innovatively establishes a mapping relationship between security risk levels and semantic perturbation intensity, breaking through the traditional "one-size-fits-all" perturbation approach in testing. Perturbations of low-risk commands primarily test the system's basic recognition capabilities, while perturbations of high-risk commands simulate real-world attack scenarios, specifically testing security protection mechanisms. Through this tiered perturbation strategy, the system can cover the most likely high-risk attack scenarios with minimal testing cost. Especially in automotive environments, it can effectively identify "semantic bypass" vulnerabilities that are difficult to detect with traditional testing.

[0027] Step S30: Inject test voice commands into the voice assistant, generate different attack scenarios using different context attributes, and monitor the actual execution results of the test voice commands.

[0028] In this embodiment, the voice command injection process can employ multimodal injection technology. Depending on the testing requirements, methods such as physical microphone input (simulating real user voice), audio file playback (precisely controlling voice parameters), or network interface simulated input (directly injecting voice feature data into the voice processing module) can be selected. To generate diverse attack scenarios, the system dynamically combines three key context attributes: authentication status (authenticated / unauthenticated), user permissions (normal permissions / high-level permissions), and vehicle status (stationary / moving). For example, for the high-risk command "start vehicle," the system creates four typical scenarios: an authenticated vehicle owner issuing a command while stationary (expected to be executed), an unauthenticated user issuing a command while stationary (expected to be rejected), an authenticated user issuing a command while driving (expected to be rejected, as security policies typically prohibit starting the vehicle while driving), and an unauthenticated user issuing a command while driving (double violation, expected to be rejected and recorded in the security log). Execution result monitoring employs a multi-layered monitoring mechanism: at the voice layer, the voice assistant's voice recognition results and semantic parsing output are recorded; at the control layer, the actual control signals issued are monitored via the vehicle's CAN bus; and at the system layer, the status changes of the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) are monitored. For example, when testing the "unlock the door" command, the system not only checks whether the voice assistant returns the voice feedback "unlocking," but also monitors the changes in the electrical signal of the door lock actuator and the data from the door status sensors in real time to confirm whether the command has been physically executed. This multi-dimensional monitoring can effectively avoid misjudgments caused by relying solely on voice feedback.

[0029] This embodiment constructs a test environment that closely resembles real-world attack scenarios through a systematic combination of contextual attributes, overcoming the limitations of traditional "static testing." Its innovation lies in incorporating the vehicle's dynamic state into the testing dimension, as the security risks of in-vehicle voice assistants are often closely related to the vehicle's operating state; for example, performing certain operations while driving may pose serious security risks. A multi-layered monitoring mechanism ensures the objectivity and accuracy of the test results, avoiding the one-sidedness of relying solely on voice feedback. It can uncover security issues missed by traditional testing, especially hidden vulnerabilities that are "superficially compliant but actually non-compliant," significantly improving the security and reliability of in-vehicle voice assistants.

[0030] Step S40: Compare the actual execution result with the expected security strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks. The expected security strategy is determined based on the security risk level, semantic perturbation method and context attributes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the system determines whether the voice assistant poses a security risk by comparing the actual execution results with the expected security policy. During the comparison process, the system not only checks the voice assistant's explicit responses (such as voice prompts) but also verifies implicit behaviors (such as whether control signals are actually sent or whether the system state changes). The expected security policy can be determined based on three key factors: the security risk level of the basic voice command, the semantic perturbation method of the application, and the contextual attributes. The system can pre-establish an expected security policy decision matrix, as shown in Table 1. For example, in the voice application scenario of "adjusting the air conditioner temperature," the corresponding security risk level is medium. Different expected security policies will be applied depending on the contextual attributes. For example, for testing high-risk commands in an unauthenticated state, the expected security policy should be "refuse execution and record a security log"; while for testing medium-risk commands in an authenticated state, the expected policy might be "execute the operation and record a regular operation log," etc.

[0032] Table 1.

[0033] This embodiment breaks through the limitations of traditional binary judgment (pass / fail) and establishes a multi-dimensional security risk assessment system. The security of in-vehicle voice assistants is not only reflected in their functional implementation, but also in their ability to correctly handle various risk scenarios. By associating expected security strategies with multiple factors, a systematic and comprehensive security risk test of in-vehicle voice assistants can be conducted, revealing security risks that are difficult to detect with traditional testing methods.

[0034] In this embodiment, a basic voice command classification system closely related to actual security risks is established through structured analysis of the voice assistant's functional configuration and security policies. This allows for the assessment of security risk levels to be brought forward to the test preparation stage, enabling targeted allocation of test resources to high-risk areas. Particularly in the context of in-vehicle voice assistants, distinguishing key control commands effectively avoids omissions in testing high-risk operations, improving the relevance and efficiency of security testing from the outset. By innovatively establishing a mapping relationship between security risk levels and semantic perturbation intensity, the traditional "one-size-fits-all" perturbation approach is overcome. Perturbations of low-risk commands primarily test the system's basic recognition capabilities, while perturbations of high-risk commands simulate real attack scenarios, specifically testing security protection mechanisms. Through this tiered perturbation strategy, the system can cover the most likely high-risk scenarios with minimal testing cost. Especially in the in-vehicle environment, it can effectively identify "semantic bypass" vulnerabilities that are difficult to detect with traditional testing. By systematically combining contextual attributes, a test environment close to real attack scenarios is constructed, overcoming the limitations of traditional "static testing." A multi-layered monitoring mechanism ensures the objectivity and accuracy of test results, avoiding the one-sidedness of relying solely on voice feedback. It can uncover security issues missed by traditional testing, especially hidden vulnerabilities that appear compliant but are actually non-compliant, significantly improving the security and reliability of in-vehicle voice assistants. This embodiment breaks through the limitations of traditional binary judgment (pass / fail) and establishes a multi-dimensional security risk assessment system. The security of in-vehicle voice assistants is not only reflected in their functional implementation but also in their ability to correctly handle various risk scenarios. By correlating expected security strategies with multiple factors, a systematic and comprehensive security risk test of in-vehicle voice assistants can be conducted, uncovering security risks that are difficult to capture with traditional testing.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the security risk level includes low level, medium level, relatively high level, and high level, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 For this application Figure 1 A detailed flowchart of step S20 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method of determining the corresponding semantic perturbation based on the security risk level includes: Step S201: When the security risk level is low, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be synonym substitution, word order change and colloquial expression; Step S202: When the security risk level is medium, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be mild semantic ambiguity, mixed expression methods and noise superposition. Step S203: When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be multi-turn dialogue splitting, context-dependent construction and context-transfer expression. Step S204: When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be inducement expression, permission bypass context construction authentication missing scenario simulation and semantic nesting attack.

[0036] In this embodiment, the correspondence between different security risk levels and semantic perturbation methods is shown in Table 2. Based on an in-depth analysis of the attack surface of in-vehicle voice assistants, the mapping relationship between security risk levels and semantic perturbation methods is designed based on the "risk-protection" matching principle: low-level risks correspond to basic perturbations, primarily testing the system's basic speech recognition capabilities; medium-level risks correspond to medium-intensity perturbations, testing the system's semantic understanding accuracy under fuzzy expressions; higher and higher-level risks correspond to advanced perturbations, simulating real attack scenarios and testing the system's security protection mechanisms. This embodiment's graded perturbation mechanism based on security risk levels solves the problems of "insufficient perturbation" or "excessive perturbation" in traditional testing, achieving precise matching between test intensity and risk level. Its innovative value lies in elevating security testing from "functional verification" to the "attack simulation" level, especially considering the unique characteristics of the in-vehicle environment, where malicious exploitation of vehicle control commands could lead to serious safety incidents.

[0037] Table 2.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the different context attributes include authentication status, user permissions, and vehicle status. The authentication status includes authenticated and unauthenticated, the user permissions include normal permissions and high-level permissions, and the vehicle status includes stationary and moving states.

[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Table 1. The systematic application of context attributes is designed based on the "context-aware" characteristics of the in-vehicle voice assistant. Authentication status (authenticated / unauthenticated) is directly related to the user authentication result. By simulating command input under different authentication states, the system is tested to see if it strictly enforces the access control policy. For example, when testing the "view dashcam" command in the unauthenticated state, the system should be expected to refuse access to sensitive data; if the system incorrectly executes this operation, it indicates a serious access management vulnerability. User permission (normal permission / high-level permission) testing focuses on the clarity of permission boundaries. The system creates test scenarios with ambiguous permission boundaries, such as a normal user attempting to perform an operation only allowed for the vehicle owner ("reset vehicle settings"), to verify whether the system can accurately identify and refuse unauthorized requests. A privilege escalation attack test is specifically designed to simulate an attacker gradually acquiring higher permissions through multiple rounds of dialogue (e.g., first asking "how to become an administrator," and then attempting to execute an administrator command). Vehicle status (stationary / moving) is a key context unique to the in-vehicle environment. The system accurately simulates test scenarios at different vehicle speeds because security policies typically stipulate that certain operations are only allowed when the vehicle is stationary (e.g., "adjust driving mode").

[0040] This embodiment addresses the fundamental problem of "detachment from the usage scenario" in in-vehicle voice assistant safety testing by systematically combining contextual attributes to construct a "context-behavior" association test model. Its core principle is that the safety risks of in-vehicle voice assistants are highly dependent on the usage context; the same command may have completely different safety implications in different contexts. For example, "opening the window" is a routine operation when stationary, but it may pose a safety hazard while driving at high speed. Safety strategies should be able to distinguish between these two scenarios. For automakers, this context-aware testing significantly improves the safety and reliability of voice assistants in real-world driving environments and reduces the risk of safety accidents caused by voice control.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 For this application Figure 1 A detailed flowchart of step S40 is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, step S40 includes: Step S401: When the actual execution result meets the expected security policy, it is determined that the voice assistant does not pose a security risk. Step S402: When the actual execution result does not meet the expected security policy, it is determined that the voice assistant has a security risk.

[0042] In this embodiment, the system employs a multi-level judgment mechanism for security risk assessment. When the actual execution result meets the expected security policy (e.g., a high-risk command is correctly rejected without authentication), the system determines that the voice assistant poses no security risk; when the actual execution result does not meet the expected security policy (e.g., the system returns an "unauthorized" prompt but actually executes the control command), the system determines that the voice assistant poses a security risk. Furthermore, an intermediate state judgment of "partial compliance" can be introduced when determining risks. For example, when the voice assistant provides a security prompt for a high-risk command but does not completely prevent its execution, the system will mark it as a risk type of "incomplete security policy execution." Security risks often present different degrees and forms, and simple binary judgments cannot accurately reflect the system's security status. Traditional testing methods typically only focus on whether the function is implemented, while this method, through a refined security judgment mechanism, can identify those "partially compliant" security vulnerabilities, providing more precise guidance for security improvements.

[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the voice assistant security testing method further includes: Record the injection method, timestamp, and context information of the test voice commands injected into the voice assistant. The injection methods include physical microphone input, audio file playback, and network interface simulated input.

[0044] In this embodiment, the system automatically records the complete context information, injection method (physical microphone input, audio file playback, or network interface simulation) of each test voice command during the testing process, timestamps accurate to milliseconds, current vehicle status (such as speed, gear, and whether the vehicle is in motion), and voice interaction history. This information is stored in a structured manner, forming a complete test trace chain. The reproduction and analysis of security events highly depend on complete context information; the lack of key context will make it difficult to locate and fix security problems. By comprehensively recording test context information, not only can security problems be accurately reproduced, but the triggering conditions of security risks under different contextual conditions can also be analyzed, providing data support for the optimization of security strategies.

[0045] Further, in one embodiment, the actual execution result includes the voice parsing result, changes in vehicle control signals, and changes in vehicle system state. After step S40, the following is included: Based on the comparison results, voice parsing results, changes in vehicle control signals, changes in vehicle system status, the injection method of test voice commands into the voice assistant, timestamps, and context information, a voice assistant security risk test report is generated.

[0046] In this embodiment, the system automatically generates a structured security risk test report. The report content includes, for example: a test overview (number of test commands, number of risks discovered, and their level distribution), a detailed risk list (test commands, expected behavior, actual behavior, risk level, and reproduction steps for each risk), risk distribution analysis (statistics by functional module, risk type, triggering conditions, etc.), and remediation suggestions (specific improvement measures for each type of risk). The report presents key data visually, such as risk heatmaps and time series analysis charts, facilitating technical personnel to quickly grasp the security status. The ultimate value of testing lies in identifying problems and guiding improvements. The structured report effectively conveys test results and drives security improvements, providing manufacturers' security teams with crucial optimization guidelines, effectively shortening the remediation cycle for security issues, and improving the overall security level of in-vehicle voice assistants.

[0047] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a voice assistant security testing device.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a functional module diagram of an embodiment of the voice assistant security testing device of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the voice assistant security testing device includes: Module 10 is used to build a set of basic voice commands based on the function configuration, control permissions and security policies of the voice assistant. Each basic voice command in the set includes a security risk level, which is determined based on the function type, control object, scope of influence and execution consequences. The generation module 20 is used to determine the corresponding semantic perturbation method for each basic voice command according to the security risk level, and use the corresponding semantic perturbation method to generate test voice commands for simulating attacks. The injection module 30 is used to inject test voice commands into the voice assistant, generate different attack scenarios using different context attributes, and monitor the actual execution results of the test voice commands. The comparison module 40 is used to compare the actual execution result with the expected security strategy to detect whether the voice assistant has any security risks. The expected security strategy is determined based on the security risk level, semantic perturbation method and context attributes.

[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the security risk level includes low, medium, relatively high, and high levels, and the step of determining the corresponding semantic perturbation method based on the security risk level is used for: When the security risk level is low, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are determined to be synonym substitution, word order change and colloquial expression. When the security risk level is medium, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be mild semantic ambiguity, mixed expression methods and noise superposition; When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation method is determined to be multi-turn dialogue splitting, context-dependent construction, and context-transfer expression. When the security risk level is high, the corresponding semantic perturbation methods are identified as inductive expressions, authentication failure scenario simulations constructed from permission bypass contexts, and semantic nesting attacks.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the different context attributes include authentication status, user permissions, and vehicle status. The authentication status includes authenticated and unauthenticated, the user permissions include normal permissions and high-level permissions, and the vehicle status includes stationary and moving states.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the comparison module 40 is used for: When the actual execution result meets the expected security policy, it is determined that the voice assistant does not pose a security risk; When the actual execution result does not meet the expected security policy, the voice assistant is deemed to have a security risk.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the voice assistant security testing device further includes a recording module, used for: Record the injection method, timestamp, and context information of the test voice commands injected into the voice assistant. The injection methods include physical microphone input, audio file playback, and network interface simulated input.

[0053] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the actual execution result includes the voice parsing result, changes in vehicle control signals, and changes in vehicle system status. The voice assistant safety testing device also includes a reporting module for: Based on the comparison results, voice parsing results, changes in vehicle control signals, changes in vehicle system status, the injection method of test voice commands into the voice assistant, timestamps, and context information, a voice assistant security risk test report is generated.

[0054] The functions of each module in the aforementioned voice assistant security testing device correspond to the steps in the aforementioned voice assistant security testing method embodiment, and their functions and implementation processes will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a voice assistant security testing device.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of the voice assistant security testing device involved in the embodiments of this application. In this embodiment, the voice assistant security testing device may include a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and a communication bus.
