TH-GNN is a heterogeneous temporal graph neural network designed to detect shilling attacks generated by large language model (LLM) agents. It combines a two‑layer Heterogeneous Graph Transformer with per‑type and per‑relation attention, learnable sinusoidal temporal encodings, cross‑modal attention that fuses user embeddings with frozen RoBERTa representations of reviews and item descriptions, and a GRU that models log inter‑arrival times. Across five attack families and four benchmark datasets, TH‑GNN achieves a grand‑mean F1 score of 0.870, surpassing the best text‑only baseline on Agent4SR attacks by 10.9 percentage points and 11.5 percentage points at the lowest injection rate.

Blackknife is a query‑free, strict black‑box evasion attack designed for heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs). It relies solely on observing one‑hop structures, ground‑truth labels, and raw features of target nodes, without using victim‑model outputs. The attack trains a shared surrogate on observable edges and relation types, then optimizes structural perturbations via continuous relaxation and projected gradient ascent, preserving node degrees while adding a cosine‑similarity penalty and adaptive structural classifier for regularization. Experiments show competitive success rates across multiple victim architectures and defense settings, revealing HGNN vulnerabilities under restricted graph access and query‑free attack generation.

The paper introduces Fed-ADR, a coordinated attack framework where a malicious orchestrator server directs heterogeneous adversarial clients to adapt their gradient updates in real time, thereby evading existing federated learning defenses and drastically reducing global model accuracy. It also presents a lightweight detection mechanism that estimates true client gradients from historical data to spot coordinated attacks, and an in-situ recovery method that restores model performance without restarting training. Experiments on MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and CIFAR‑10 show the attack can drop accuracy from over 90% to below 10%, while the defense can recover accuracy to above 90% within a few rounds at a computational cost at least 20× lower than retraining from scratch.
