Backdoor attacks compromise training data so that a model retains clean accuracy but predicts an attacker-chosen target on triggered inputs. At very low poisoning rates, only a few samples convey the trigger--target association, making poison-sample selection critical.
The paper introduces STAIN-FL, a stealthy backdoor attack framework for federated video anomaly detection that uses natural surveillance conditions—such as low light, indoor settings, and crowd density—as contextual triggers. STAIN-FL manipulates anomaly labels and masks gradients to keep clean accuracy low while inducing trigger‑conditioned misclassification. Experiments on UCF‑Crime with I3D features show that sparse attacks remain undetectable, drop clean accuracy by less than 2%, yet achieve over 50% backdoor accuracy for hundreds of rounds under FedAvg and FedProx.

Adversarial attacks pose a challenge to the reliability of deep learning models, motivating effective detection methods. Existing techniques often rely on attack-specific assumptions, access to adversarial samples, or knowledge of the underlying classifier (white-box).
The paper "Privacy Leakage on DNNs: A Survey of Model Inversion Attacks and Defenses" provides a comprehensive review of model inversion (MI) attacks that exploit trained deep neural networks to reconstruct private training data. It traces the evolution of MI from early machine‑learning contexts to recent DNN‑based attacks across various modalities and learning tasks, offering a detailed taxonomy and comparative analysis of both attacks and defenses. The authors also present an open‑source toolbox on GitHub to support further research in this area.

The paper introduces Learning to Detect (LoD), a framework for identifying unseen jailbreak attacks in Large Vision‑Language Models without relying on attack data or hand‑crafted heuristics. LoD extracts layer‑wise safety representations via Multi‑modal Safety Concept Activation Vectors and compresses them into a one‑dimensional anomaly score using a Safety Pattern Auto‑Encoder. Experiments show that LoD achieves state‑of‑the‑art AUROC across diverse unseen attacks on multiple LVLMs while improving efficiency.

SPADE is a labelled, multi‑modal, simulation‑based dataset for detecting attacks on Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) messages from the perspective of connected vehicles. It contains 1.89 million timestep records generated by injecting six classes of application‑layer attacks and one benign class into the SAE J2735 SPaT protocol, across multiple intersection geometries, operating conditions, and random seeds. Each record fuses SPaT fields, onboard camera confidence scores, and cooperative V2V peer data into 40 features, enabling deep‑learning intrusion detection systems to distinguish deliberate attacks from environmental noise.
