arXiv:2410. 00296v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language Models (VLMs) are essential for contextual understanding of both visual and textual information.
The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by tiny, human‑imperceptible changes to images. It introduces a gradient‑based attack that targets only the vision encoder, reducing computational cost while still effectively disrupting both untargeted and targeted multimodal interpretations. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these small perturbations can dramatically alter the models’ textual outputs.
arXiv:2603. 29418v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, their instruction-following behavior leaves them vulnerable to prompt injection attacks.
Recent advancements in Image-to-Video (I2V) generation have transformed input images from simple appearance references into interactive control interfaces where visual cues such as arrows, sketches, and emojis orchestrate complex video dynamics with unprecedented controllability. However, these seemingly innocuous static cues can be interpreted by models as executable temporal instructions, unfolding into harmful actions in the generated videos.
The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by small, human‑imperceptible changes to images. It introduces a gradient‑based attack that targets only the vision encoder, reducing computational cost while still effectively disrupting both untargeted and targeted multimodal alignment. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these perturbations can significantly alter the models’ textual outputs.

arXiv:2602. 10179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in large image editing models have shifted the paradigm from text-driven instructions to vision-prompt editing, where user intent is inferred directly from visual inputs such as marks, arrows, and visual-text prompts.
MIRAGE is a visual indirect prompt injection framework that targets multimodal large language model (MLLM)-based web agents. It operates under realistic constraints where an attacker controls only a semantically legitimate, spatially confined region such as an ad slot or widget. Using diffusion models and a robust optimization technique, MIRAGE generates perceptually benign adversarial images confined to the attacker’s boundaries, enabling next‑action hijacking while remaining stealthy.

arXiv:2607. 22716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we show for the first time that visual token pruning enhances the robustness of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), mitigating vulnerabilities such as jailbreak attacks and hallucinations.
