ComplicitSplat: Downstream Models are Vulnerable to Blackbox Attacks by 3D Gaussian Splat Camouflages

ComplicitSplat is a novel black‑box attack that leverages 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) shading to create viewpoint‑specific camouflage, embedding adversarial content into scene objects that is only visible from certain angles. The method does not require access to model architecture or weights and can successfully fool a range of popular object detectors—including single‑stage, multi‑stage, and transformer‑based models—on both real‑world physical objects and synthetic scenes. This demonstrates that downstream models using 3DGS are vulnerable to adversarial manipulation.

Breaking the weakest link to evade vision language models

The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by small, 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 alignment. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these perturbations can significantly alter the models’ textual outputs.
