Statistical Adversaries: Natural Backdoor-like Features in Vision Datasets
Model-specific adversarial attacks have been extensively studied. We study a different failure mode: naturally occurring statistical signals in vision data that can behave like backdoor-like triggers without being maliciously inserted.

Discovering Natural Transformation Vulnerabilities in Black-Box Vision Models
The paper introduces Adversarial Scenario Attack (ASA), a query‑based black‑box method that discovers natural transformation vulnerabilities in vision models by exploring background, weather, and material/color edits via a multimodal language model and a text‑guided generative editor. ASA outperforms previous query‑based generative attacks on ImageNet classifiers, achieving higher success rates with fewer queries while maintaining perceptual quality. The approach also shows image‑level and prompt‑level transferability, indicating reusable vulnerabilities across models and images.
