First study of image prompt reconstruction attacks on distributed MLLM inference, proposing MPAA for pixel-level and IEDA for semantic reconstruction with 100% embedding extraction accuracy on four model families.
MCRMO-Attack raises universal targeted attack success rates on unseen images by 23.7% on GPT-4o and 19.9% on Gemini-2.0 over prior universal baselines through stabilized supervision and meta-optimization.
Attacking only the top 20% high-entropy token positions in vision-language models causes comparable semantic damage and more harmful outputs than global attacks, and these vulnerable tokens transfer across model architectures.
FRA-Attack uses high-pass DCT feature alignment and frequency-domain gradient regularization to boost adversarial transferability across 15 MLLMs from 7 vendors.
Adversarial examples enable AI authority laundering by causing production VLMs to give authoritative but wrong responses on subtly perturbed images, with success rates of 22-100% using decade-old attack methods.
