{"data":{"id":"3ff598ab-ab3e-4852-b0dd-cc761cdafa04","title":"BadBone: Backdoor Attacks Against Backbone Models in Visual Prompt Learning","summary":"BadBone is a backdoor attack against prompt learning that uses bi-level optimization to compromise a backbone model, so only downstream tasks employing prompt learning inherit the vulnerability. Experiments on three models and three datasets show the targeted and untargeted backdoored models reach high attack performance while keeping utility on pre-training and downstream tasks. The authors report that six model-level defenses, including Neural Cleanse, ABS, MNTD, NAD, CLP and D-BR, are largely ineffective against these models.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11541233","publishedAt":"2026-06-01T13:17:32.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["other"],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-5-5","classifierPromptVersion":"v4","summaryPromptVersion":"v2","headline":null,"headlinePromptVersion":null,"cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"epssCheckedAt":null,"kevDateAdded":null,"advisoryAliases":null,"affectedPackagesSource":null,"affectedPackagesCheckedAt":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-06-01T13:17:32.000Z","fixReleasedAt":null,"daysToFix":null,"fixCheckedAt":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.9,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
