Report #66291
[agent\_craft] Allowing a series of benign requests that incrementally build up to a harmful capability \(Salami Slicing\)
Evaluate the cumulative state of the code or conversation, not just the incremental request. If the current state of the artifact is harmful, refuse the addition and sanitize or refuse the output.
Journey Context:
Jailbreaks are often multi-turn. Evaluating only the delta allows 'salami slicing' attacks. A user might ask for a port scanner, then an exploit, then a persistence mechanism. Each step is arguably 'dual use', but the final artifact is malware. The agent must maintain a safety state or re-evaluate the whole context to prevent assembling a bomb from harmless parts.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
