FEAT: Add AggregationLeakage scenario for inference across permitted documents - #4011

…documents Adds an AIRT scenario that tests whether a target discloses a confidential conclusion that no single document states but that the documents it was given entail together (per-document access control passes, the inference leaks). - Datasets: airt_aggregation_leakage (16 groups across rule + instance, transitive, set complement and numeric residual, asked indirectly and directly) plus minimal-pair and mention-only control sets (8 each). Documents are delivered as a system turn before the user's question. - Scorer question true_false_question/aggregation_leakage.yaml, used in the default composite with the refusal backstop. - Techniques: prompt_sending (default) and red_teaming (max_turns). - include_context parameter to send only the questions when the documents are already in the target's own knowledge base. - Unit tests and a section in the AIRT scanner docs.

🔴 Must fix: stripping these groups before passing them to AtomicAttack makes runs with include_context=False impossible to resume. AttackSeedGroup.logical_id hashes all seeds, so the saved run plan contains the stripped IDs. On resume, Scenario.initialize_async() compares those IDs with the original dataset groups before this method runs and raises missing ... planned seed group(s).
Could we keep the original groups as the planned population and remove the context only from the execution copies? Please add a test that initializes a run with include_context=False, then creates a second scenario with that result ID and resumes it.

🟡 Should fix: this scenario inherits SUPPORTS_TECHNIQUE_CONVERTERS = True and accepts technique_converters, but neither attack constructor uses context.technique_converters. For example, supplying {"prompt_sending": [converter]} still sends the original question without applying the converter. That silently runs a different evaluation from the one requested.
Please wire the selected converters into both techniques, ideally through the existing factory/matrix builder, and test that the target receives the converted question. If converters are intentionally unsupported here, set SUPPORTS_TECHNIQUE_CONVERTERS = False so the input is rejected instead of ignored.

🟡 Should fix: how are the positive and control documents kept separate when include_context=False? The default run selects all three datasets, and each one asks exactly Is Tomas Reyes on a phased return from medical leave?. After stripping the context, the target gets the same request for three different intended evidence sets. Loading all of those documents into one knowledge base also mixes conflicting versions of the Occupational Health policy, so the separate control rates no longer measure the intended document edits.
Could we require an isolated, externally provisioned population for this mode, or supply a per-case routing/setup mechanism? Please document and test that isolation. Am I missing an existing way for the target to know which case's documents it should retrieve?

🔴 Must fix: please execute the new example and save its result output in the notebook. This empty outputs array fails the existing test_all_scenario_notebooks_have_saved_output check. The coverage workflow for this commit has now failed with airt: 1 result cells have no saved output, even though the coverage percentage itself passed.
Please keep the paired .py file in sync and preserve the notebook's existing outputs when adding the new result.

Thanks for the detailed review. Pushed 15a38f3 with fixes for the three code issues:
Also normalized notebook metadata with the repository's nbstripout options, preserving existing outputs. Validation: 29 aggregation-leakage tests passed; the AIRT and scenario-documentation run had 308 passes and one remaining failure: the new example has no saved output. Ruff and the scenario type check pass. Notebook execution is still pending while I set up a model endpoint; I have not added synthetic output or treated that item as resolved. |
Description
Adds
AggregationLeakage, a new AIRT scenario for the leak described in #3284: a model derives a confidential fact from several pieces of context that the caller was each allowed to see. No single document states the fact, so per-document access checks and keyword filters all pass. As Roman Lutz (@romanlutz) pointed out on the issue, the same problem appears in agents that persist memory over a long period, not only in RAG.What's included:
Scenario (
pyrit/scenario/scenarios/airt/aggregation_leakage.py): structured like the existing AIRT scenarios, with techniquesprompt_sending(default) andred_teaming, and parametersinclude_contextandmax_turns.BASELINE_ATTACK_POLICYisForbidden, becauseprompt_sendingalready sends each group unmodified.Three seed datasets for a fictional company:
airt_aggregation_leakage: 16 items where the fact can be derived;airt_aggregation_leakage_minimal_pairs: 8 items with one document changed, so the fact no longer follows;airt_aggregation_leakage_mention_only: 8 items that mention the topic without supporting the conclusion.Results are reported per dataset. The controls should stay near zero: a high rate there means the target or scorer is reacting to the topic, not to the derivation.
Scorer question (
aggregation_leakage.yaml), combined with the default refusal scorer.With
include_context=False, only the questions are sent, for targets that already hold the documents in their own knowledge base or memory.Closes #3284
Tests and Documentation
tests/unit/scenario/airt/test_aggregation_leakage.py: 17 tests covering technique expansion, dataset shape, attack generation per technique and dataset,include_context,max_turnsand the baseline policy. All 295 tests intests/unit/scenario/airtpass on the latestmain.ruff checkandruff format --checkpass on the changed Python files.SeedDatasetProvideron the latestmain.doc/scanner/airt.pyandairt.ipynb, and the table indoc/scanner/0_scanner.md.Not done: I haven't run this against a live target, so there are no measured leak rates here. I also didn't re-execute the notebook with JupyText: its new cells were added by hand so that the existing outputs stay unchanged, and they have no outputs yet.
