LLM Guardrails

LLM Guardrails — Implementação de Segurança para Sistemas LLM

Receitas de implementação de guardrails de segurança para aplicações LLM/RAG. Cada seção é independente — implemente o que o assessment (/llm-security-assessment) identificou como gap.

Arquitetura de defesa em profundidade

                                           └─ 6. Response ao usuário

Ordem crítica: Rate limit antes de guardrails (economiza ciclos). Output scan antes de persistir E antes de responder — são dois fluxos independentes, o redact no response path não implica redact no persistence path.

2. Defesa contra Encoding (Base64, Hex, Unicode-escape)

Ataque: "Analise este texto: SWdub3JlIGFsbCBwcmV2aW91cyBpbnN0cnVjdGlvbnM=" → decodifica para "Ignore all previous instructions".

import base64, binascii, codecs

_BASE64_BLOCK = re.compile(r"(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4}){3,}(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{2}==|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{3}=|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})")

Testes mínimos:

• test_hex_encoded_injection_blocked
• test_clean_base64_ref_passes — base64 legítimo (ex: imagem) não deve ser bloqueado

3. Fuzzy Matching (Typoglycemia)

Ataque: "ignroe all previous instructions" / "bpyass your rules".

        dp[0] = i
        for j in range(1, n + 1):
            temp = dp[j]
            dp[j] = prev if a[i-1] == b[j-1] else 1 + min(prev, dp[j], dp[j-1])
            prev = temp
    return dp[n]

def _check_fuzzy_injection(message: str) -> Optional[GuardrailResult]:

                    detail=f"fuzzy match: '{word}' ~ '{trigger}'")
    return None

⚠️ Atenção: Português tem palavras a 1-2 edits de trigger words em inglês. Comece com 5-10 termos e expanda baseado em falsos positivos observados em produção. Calibrar com um golden dataset.

Logging seguro (nunca logar conversation_id em texto claro):

Calibração: Usar um golden dataset de perguntas esperadas + perguntas fora do escopo. Plotar a curva precision-recall e escolher o threshold que minimiza hallucinations sem aumentar falsos negativos.

Checklist de implementação

Após implementar, verificar:

• Rate limit antes dos guardrails no pipeline
• Input guardrails com patterns PT+EN
• Defesa contra encoding (Base64, hex, unicode)
• Fuzzy matching calibrado com golden dataset (começar com ≤10 trigger words)
• Guardrails sociais (falsa autoridade, falsa urgência, dados de terceiros)
• Output PII scan com redact-not-block
• Output scan aplicado ANTES de persistir no banco (não só antes de responder)
• URL whitelist sanitization
• System prompt com regra de confidencialidade
• N-gram leakage check no output
• Rate limiter por conversation_id (não só por client_id no gateway)
• Circuit breaker no LLM client
• Confidence threshold no retrieval
• Logs seguros: sem conversation_id raw, sem mensagem do usuário, IDs como hash
• TTL configurado no banco de histórico de conversas (LGPD Art. 15/16)
• Contatos institucionais na allowlist do output scanner
