Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models are widely adopted for their strong generative capabilities, yet remain vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Existing attacks typically rely on fixed textual triggers and single-entity backdoor targets, making them highly susceptible to enumeration-based input defenses and attention-consistency detection. In this work, we propose Semantic-level Backdoor Attack (SemBD), which introduces representation-level triggers based on continuous semantic regions rather than discrete textual patterns. SemBD implants such semantic backdoors by distillation-based editing of the key and value projection matrices in cross-attention layers, enabling semantically equivalent but textually diverse prompts to activate the backdoor. To further enhance stealthiness, SemBD incorporates a semantic regularization to prevent unintended activation under incomplete semantics, as well as multi-entity backdoor targets that avoid highly consistent cross-attention patterns. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SemBD achieves a 100% attack success rate while maintaining strong robustness against state-of-the-art input-level defenses.

Robust Backdoor Attacks against Deep Neural Networks in Real Physical World

深度神经网络(DNN)已被广泛部署在各种应用中。然而,许多研究表明,DNN是容易受到后门攻击。攻击者可以在目标DNN模型中创建一个隐藏的后门,并通过提交特定的后门实例来触发恶意行为。然而,现有的后门攻击研究大多集中在数字领域,而对真实物理世界中的后门攻击研究较少。受限于各种物理约束,后门攻击在真实物理世界中的性能会严重下降。本文提出了一种鲁棒的物理后门攻击方法PTB(physical transformations for backdoors),用于实现对真实物理世界中的深度学习模型的后门攻击。具体来说,在训练阶段,我们在每一轮模型训练中对这些注入的后门实例执行一系列物理变换,以模拟后门在现实世界中可能经历的各种变换,从而提高其物理鲁棒性。在最新的人脸识别模型上的实验结果表明,与不带PTB的后门攻击方法相比,该方法能够显著提高真实物理世界中的后门攻击性能.在各种复杂的物理条件下,通过仅注入非常小比例(0.5%)的后门实例,使用PTB方法对VGGFace进行物理后门攻击的攻击成功率为82%,而不使用所提出的PTB方法的后门攻击的攻击成功率低于11%。同时,目标DNN模型的正常性能没有受到影响。

在这项工作中,我们提出了第一个后门攻击图神经网络(GNN)。具体来说,我们提出了一个\emph{subgraph based backdoor attack}的GNN图分类。在我们的后门攻击中,一旦预定义的子图被注入测试图,GNN分类器就预测攻击者为测试图选择的目标标签。我们在三个真实世界的图数据集上的实证结果表明,我们的后门攻击是有效的,对GNN的预测准确性的影响很小。此外,我们推广了一种基于随机平滑的认证防御来抵御我们的后门攻击。我们的实证结果表明,防御在某些情况下是有效的,但在其他情况下无效,突出了我们的后门攻击的新防御的需要。
