当操作偏离任务：检测与修正计算机使用代理中的行为失准

摘要

过去一年中，计算机使用代理（CUA）取得了巨大进展，但其生成的操作仍时常偏离用户原始意图。这类失准操作既可能源于外部攻击（如间接提示注入），也可能来自内部局限（如错误推理）。它们不仅使CUA面临安全风险，还会降低任务效率与可靠性。本研究首次对CUA中的失准操作检测进行系统性定义与探索，全面覆盖外部诱发与内部产生的失准操作。我们进一步识别出现实场景中三类常见失准类型，并构建MisActBench——一个包含人工标注、操作级对齐标签的真实轨迹基准。此外，我们提出DeAction这一实用通用防护框架，可在操作执行前检测失准行为，并通过结构化反馈进行迭代修正。DeAction在离线与在线评估中均以适度延迟开销超越所有基线方法：（1）在MisActBench上，其F1分数绝对值领先基线超过15%；（2）在线评估中，在对抗环境下将攻击成功率降低90%以上，同时在良性环境中保持甚至提升任务成功率。

Computer-use agents (CUAs) have made tremendous progress in the past year, yet they still frequently produce misaligned actions that deviate from the user's original intent. Such misaligned actions may arise from external attacks (e.g., indirect prompt injection) or from internal limitations (e.g., erroneous reasoning). They not only expose CUAs to safety risks, but also degrade task efficiency and reliability. This work makes the first effort to define and study misaligned action detection in CUAs, with comprehensive coverage of both externally induced and internally arising misaligned actions. We further identify three common categories in real-world CUA deployment and construct MisActBench, a benchmark of realistic trajectories with human-annotated, action-level alignment labels. Moreover, we propose DeAction, a practical and universal guardrail that detects misaligned actions before execution and iteratively corrects them through structured feedback. DeAction outperforms all existing baselines across offline and online evaluations with moderate latency overhead: (1) On MisActBench, it outperforms baselines by over 15% absolute in F1 score; (2) In online evaluation, it reduces attack success rate by over 90% under adversarial settings while preserving or even improving task success rate in benign environments.
