The paper introduces RIBA, a reinforcement‑learning inspired black‑box adversarial attack that generates perturbations for neural networks with fewer queries than existing methods. RIBA achieves a 25.4% reduction in median queries on ResNet‑18/Cifar10 and a 22.5% reduction on Vit‑B/16/ImageNet, while matching white‑box attack performance on an adversarially trained model.

SEBA is a sample‑efficient framework for black‑box adversarial attacks on visual reinforcement learning agents. It combines a shadow Q model, a generative adversarial network for imperceptible perturbations, and a world model to simulate dynamics, reducing real‑world queries. Experiments on MuJoCo and Atari show SEBA significantly lowers cumulative rewards while preserving visual fidelity and requiring far fewer environment interactions than previous methods.

Indirect prompt injection attacks hijack LLM-based agents by embedding malicious instructions in third-party data that the agent retrieves during task execution. Existing defenses report near-zero attack success rate on static benchmarks, yet recent adaptive evaluations show that these results collapse once the attacker is allowed to optimize against the deployed defense.
