The paper introduces the Spectral Masking and Interpolation Attack (SMIA), a black‑box adversarial technique that subtly alters inaudible frequency regions of AI‑generated audio to fool voice authentication systems and their countermeasures. Experiments show SMIA achieves at least 82% success against combined verification and countermeasure systems, 97.5% against standalone speaker verification, and 100% against countermeasures, revealing a critical security gap. The authors argue that current static defenses are inadequate and call for dynamic, context‑aware defenses that can adapt to evolving threats.

The paper introduces an adaptive jailbreak attack framework that evaluates both cascaded pipelines and end‑to‑end large audio‑language models (LALMs) under a unified setting. It employs a feedback‑guided mutation engine to automatically generate and refine jailbreak candidates across textual prompts and audio perturbations, thereby broadening attack diversity. Experiments on six audio‑based systems show that both paradigms remain highly vulnerable, with the framework achieving higher attack success rates than existing methods.

The paper investigates poisoning-based backdoor attacks on Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) systems that use self‑supervised acoustic representations. It introduces a stealthy, low‑energy acoustic trigger that can be embedded imperceptibly into both natural and synthetic speech, enabling scalable poisoning. Experiments show high attack success rates with low poisoning ratios, cross‑model transferability, and a particular vulnerability of self‑supervised representations, highlighting the lowered barrier to effective backdoor attacks via TTS technology.
