arXiv:2406. 09250v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly susceptible to sophisticated adversarial attacks, including adaptive strategies specifically designed to bypass existing defenses.
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance on vision-language tasks, but incorporating visual inputs through a vision encoder (e. g.
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.

While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), represented by LLaVA and GPT-4V, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, their visual inputs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, posing significant security risks. Existing defense methods predominantly target single-task scenarios (e.

The paper introduces Adversarial Scenario Attack (ASA), a query‑based black‑box method that discovers natural transformation vulnerabilities in vision models by exploring background, weather, and material/color edits via a multimodal language model and a text‑guided generative editor. ASA outperforms previous query‑based generative attacks on ImageNet classifiers, achieving higher success rates with fewer queries while maintaining perceptual quality. The approach also shows image‑level and prompt‑level transferability, indicating reusable vulnerabilities across models and images.
