LipSSD: Lipschitz-Constrained Single-Shot Detection for Adversarially Robust Object Detection

arXiv:2607. 06592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object detectors have many applications in safety-critical systems, but they are known to be sensitive to worst-case perturbations such as adversarial attacks, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios.

LipSSD: Lipschitz-Constrained Single-Shot Detection for Adversarially Robust Object Detection

Object detectors have many applications in safety-critical systems, but they are known to be sensitive to worst-case perturbations such as adversarial attacks, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. Compared with classification, adversarial robustness for object detection has received less attention, and existing methods are often tied to adversarial training, whose performance may not transfer across attacks, perturbation budgets, or architectures.

Zero-Shot Embedding Drift Detection: A Lightweight Defense Against Prompt Injections in LLMs

arXiv:2601. 12359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt injection attacks have become an increasing vulnerability for LLM applications, where adversarial prompts exploit indirect input channels such as emails or user-generated content to circumvent alignment safeguards and induce harmful or unintended outputs.

MIG-COW: Transferable Adversarial Attacks on Deepfake Detectors via Gradient Decomposition

MIG‑COW is a new adversarial attack framework that uses momentum‑integrated gradients and a consensus‑orthogonal decomposition to create highly generalizable, visually imperceptible perturbations against deepfake detectors. It achieves a 99.96% white‑box attack success rate on the AADD‑2025 Challenge benchmarks while maintaining high perceptual similarity (SSIM). In black‑box settings, its success rate drops to 7.16%, and adding low‑performing but diverse models to the ensemble can reduce attack effectiveness, highlighting the importance of careful surrogate model selection.

FSPGD: Rethinking Black-box Attacks on Semantic Segmentation

FSPGD introduces a feature-space black-box attack for semantic segmentation that targets intermediate representations rather than just output logits. The method uses a dual loss: an external loss to disrupt cross-model feature alignment and an internal loss to reduce consistency among same-class instances. Experiments on Pascal VOC 2012 and Cityscapes show that FSPGD outperforms existing logit-level and segmentation-specific attacks across CNN and Transformer backbones, and its adversarial examples improve robustness when used for training.

Beyond Small Patches: Black-Box Detection and Purification of Diverse Backdoor Triggers

The paper introduces TRIM, a black‑box defense for backdoor attacks in computer vision models. TRIM identifies and removes malicious trigger regions at inference time using region‑based segmentation, adaptive trigger discovery via inpainting and diffusion, and selective purification, without needing model internals, training data, or clean samples. Experiments on various datasets and trigger types show TRIM reduces attack success rates to as low as 1.16% while maintaining high clean accuracy.
