中文摘要
大语言模型(LLMs)依赖专有系统提示执行任务指令与安全策略,但易受黑盒对手通过多轮交互提取机密指令的查询泄露攻击。现有防御常独立评估查询,忽略跨交互的恶意行为。AdvGuard 提出一种模型无关框架,利用有界语义交互图建模查询间关系,经统计过滤后转化为线图供图卷积网络(GCN)分类,以捕捉区分协同提取与良性流程的多跳模式。该框架包含轻量级提示级检测器,支持黑盒部署。在混合查询评估中,AdvGuard 召回率较最强基线提升最高 36%,误报率不超过 3.4%。多轮工作负载中 F1 分数达 97.23%-99.1%,召回率 100%。留一攻击族测试平均召回率 99.98%,平均 F1 99.99%,无误报。集成于 PLeak 和 LeakAgent 攻击循环后,精确匹配泄露限制在 0.00-0.01,子串匹配泄露限制在 0.01-0.09,显著降低提示重建风险。

原始英文摘要
arXiv:2610.36295v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on proprietary system prompts to enforce task directives, safety policies, and access controls. These prompts are vulnerable to query-based leakage attacks, where black-box adversaries extract confidential instructions through adaptive, multi-turn interactions. Existing defenses often assess queries independently, missing malicious behavior that emerges across interactions. We present AdvGuard, a model-agnostic framework for detecting and mitigating system prompt leakage. AdvGuard models cross-query relationships using a bounded semantic interaction graph, statistically filters candidate components, and converts them into line graphs for graph convolutional network (GCN) classification. This approach captures multi-hop patterns in query similarity that distinguish coordinated extraction from benign workflows. A lightweight prompt-level detector provides protection before sufficient interaction history accumulates, and the framework supports black-box LLM deployments. In mixed-query evaluations, AdvGuard improves recall by up to 36% over the strongest baseline while maintaining a false positive rate of at most 3.4%. In multi-turn workloads, it achieves 97.23%-99.1% F1 with 100% recall. Leave-one-attack-family-out tests yield 99.98% mean recall and 99.99% mean F1, with no observed false positives. Integrated into the adaptive PLeak and LeakAgent attack loops, AdvGuard limits exact-match leakage to 0.00-0.01 and substring-match leakage to 0.01-0.09 across evaluated victim models. These results demonstrate robust detection of unseen attack families and substantially reduced prompt reconstruction.
