A malicious participant in DFL can use an adversarial message-passing graph neural network (a type of AI model that shares information between connected nodes) to strategically corrupt their model updates, which tricks the system into ignoring honest participants' contributions and reduces the overall accuracy of the shared model by up to 49.5%.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11271864","publishedAt":"2025-12-02T13:16:34.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["model_poisoning"],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2025-12-02T13:16:34.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"training_data","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
