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.

DiSCO is a zero‑shot, black‑box defense for text‑to‑image models that operates solely at the prompt level. It expands prompts with a distribution‑guided suffix using beam search and contrastive scoring against safe and unsafe image pools generated by the target model, iteratively refining until safe content is produced. The method improves safety on the I2P benchmark under various red‑teaming attacks, reducing attack success rates by 37.7% and 25.13% while preserving semantic fidelity and image coherence.
