When Can You Poison Rewards? A Tight Characterization of Reward Poisoning in Linear MDPs

arXiv:2604. 10062v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study reward poisoning attacks in reinforcement learning (RL), where an adversary manipulates rewards within constrained budgets to force the target RL agent to adopt a policy that aligns with the attacker's objectives.

Fox in the Henhouse: Supply-Chain Backdoor Attacks Against Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2505. 19532v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The current state-of-the-art backdoor attacks against Reinforcement Learning (RL) rely upon unrealistically permissive access models, that assume the attacker can read (or even write) the victim's policy parameters, observations, or rewards.
