Módulo 3: Prompt Injection — Attacks & Defenses
7. Defense Layers 4-5: Sandboxing, Isolation y Monitoring
Descripción
Layers 1-3 trabajan para prevenir que un ataque tenga éxito: filtrar inputs maliciosos, validar outputs, y endurecer el prompt. Pero la seguridad robusta asume que las defensas pueden fallar — un ataque sofisticado podría evadir las tres primeras capas. Layers 4 y 5 abordan las preguntas "¿qué daño puede causar si un ataque tiene éxito?" y "¿cómo detecto que está ocurriendo un ataque?"
Layer 4 (Sandboxing) limita el daño: restringe qué acciones puede ejecutar el modelo, implementa principio de least privilege, requiere confirmación para operaciones destructivas, y aísla contextos para prevenir exfiltración de datos entre usuarios.
Layer 5 (Monitoring) detecta y alerta: registra intentos de injection en tiempo real, analiza patrones de actividad sospechosa, genera alertas cuando se superan umbrales, y produce dashboards para visibilidad operacional.
Juntas, estas capas cierran el pipeline: si las capas 1-3 son la prevención, las capas 4-5 son la contención y la detección.
Layer 4: Sandboxing y Tool Permissions
El problema: el modelo con demasiado poder
Cuando tu LLM tiene acceso a tools (function calling), un ataque de injection puede resultar en la ejecución de acciones no autorizadas. Si el modelo puede ejecutar send_email, query_database, y delete_record, un atacante que logra manipularlo podría:
Ataque exitoso + send_email = Spam o phishing desde tu sistema
Ataque exitoso + query_database = Exfiltración de datos
Ataque exitoso + delete_record = Destrucción de datos
Layer 4 limita el blast radius: incluso si el atacante manipula al modelo, las acciones que puede ejecutar están restringidas.

Troubleshooting
"El sandbox bloquea tools que el modelo necesita usar"
Revisa tus ToolPermission — probablemente falta un tool o un parámetro permitido. El default policy "deny" es seguro pero requiere que declares explícitamente cada tool. Alterna a "allow" solo si confías en todos los tools de tu sistema (no recomendado para producción).
"El monitor genera demasiadas alertas"
Ajusta alert_threshold_per_session y alert_window_minutes. Si recibes alertas por usuarios legítimos que hacen muchas preguntas, sube el threshold. Si necesitas detectar ataques rápidos, reduce el window.
"¿Cómo implemento la confirmación humana en producción?"
Para requires_confirmation, el flujo es: (1) el pipeline devuelve el request de confirmación al frontend, (2) el frontend muestra un diálogo al usuario, (3) el usuario confirma, (4) el frontend envía el request original con un flag de confirmación, (5) el pipeline ejecuta el tool.
"¿Necesito almacenar todos los logs?"
En producción, define una política de retención (ej: eventos info por 7 días, warnings por 30 días, criticals por 1 año). Usa un sistema de logging estructurado (JSON) compatible con herramientas de análisis (ELK stack, Datadog, etc.).

Crea un sistema que "envíe" alertas (print al console) cuando detecta eventos critical, incluyendo el contexto completo del evento.

- Layer 4 (Sandboxing) limita el daño que un ataque exitoso puede causar: restringe qué tools están disponibles, qué parámetros aceptan, cuántas veces pueden ejecutarse, y qué operaciones requieren confirmación humana
- Layer 5 (Monitoring) detecta y alerta: registra todos los eventos de seguridad, analiza patrones por sesión, genera alertas cuando se superan umbrales, y produce dashboards operacionales
- El
ToolSandboximplementa el principio de least privilege: default deny, whitelist de tools permitidos, rate limiting por sesión, y confirmación para operaciones write/delete - El
SecurityMonitores el sistema nervioso del pipeline — recibe eventos de todas las capas y los analiza para detectar ataques en progreso - Métricas clave: injection attempt rate, canary leak rate, output filter rate, tool block rate, y false positive rate
- Las 5 capas trabajan juntas: Layer 1 filtra inputs → Layer 3 endurece el prompt → LLM genera → Layer 4 limita tools → Layer 2 filtra outputs → Layer 5 registra todo
- La seguridad asume que las defensas pueden fallar — Layer 4 limita el daño y Layer 5 te dice cuándo está pasando
Próxima cápsula: En la cápsula 08 integrarás las 5 capas en el Injection Defense Pipeline completo: un sistema composable con FastAPI integration, suite de ataques para validación, y documentación lista para producción.
