arXiv:2606. 09411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can be fine-tuned to encode prompt-borne secrets into fluent, seemingly benign outputs.
arXiv:2605. 26595v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are often fine-tuned on uncurated text datasets that adversaries can poison.
arXiv:2511. 07210v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clean-image backdoor attacks, which use only label manipulation in training datasets to compromise deep neural networks, pose a significant threat to security-critical applications.
arXiv:2604. 05809v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents Text-Guided Backdoor (TGB), an adjustable backdoor attack against multimodal pretrained models that uses natural-word triggers, namely words that can naturally occur in ordinary textual inputs.
arXiv:2601. 22818v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuned LLMs can covertly encode prompt secrets into outputs via steganographic channels.
arXiv:2606. 02947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning is the predominant approach for adapting autoregressive vision-language models to downstream tasks.
arXiv:2510. 09260v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that RLHF is highly susceptible to backdoor attacks.
arXiv:2606. 26285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Noise-based backdoor attacks on diffusion models typically rely on input-time trigger injection, untargeted activation, and out-of-distribution target generation.
The paper introduces Dual-Embedding Watermarking (DEW), a semantic watermarking technique for large language models that combines contextual and token-level embeddings. DEW applies algebraic vector-space operations to generate a watermark signal that remains robust to paraphrasing and translation, while obfuscating the signal with pseudo-random matrices seeded by a secret key. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art robustness, especially against translation, with minimal computational overhead and preserved text quality at lower watermark strengths.
arXiv:2609.23596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With face-recognition models now embedded in everyday authentication and surveillance, recent works have pinpointed a critical weakness: these models...
arXiv:2608. 00732v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to deep neural networks, especially when training relies on third-party data, allowing adversaries to inject malicious behaviors through data poisoning.
arXiv:2608. 04477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cloud-based language model services routinely process prompts containing sensitive information.
