arXiv:2607. 08659v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown considerable success in learning from graph-structured data, but their use in privacy-sensitive areas remains difficult because graph structure can leak sensitive link information.

The paper evaluates privacy risks in graph neural networks enhanced by large language models (LLMs). Using a five‑stage framework, the authors test six real‑world text‑attributed graph datasets with 42 model configurations and six privacy attack methods across link, label, and membership inference threats. Results show that LLM‑enhanced GNNs are more vulnerable than shallow baselines, with semantic enrichment amplifying exploitable signals, and that differential privacy can reduce risk but at a significant cost to utility.

The paper introduces VERITAS, a poisoning‑resilient protocol for locally private graph learning that combines local differential privacy with a trust‑but‑verify approach. VERITAS employs a verification list to encode peer trust, performs local data perturbation, server‑side malicious node pruning, dual denoising, and robust private graph learning. Experiments on four real‑world datasets show that VERITAS defends against data poisoning attacks while improving downstream graph learning utility under strict privacy guarantees.
