The authors split each failure into omission, substitution, and displacement, and find that VLMs can be as vulnerable as detectors. Failure mode tracks output format more than architecture, and under distribution shift VLMs that mainly omitted often shift toward displacement or substitution, which return confident, well-formed boxes.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.29196v1","publishedAt":"2026-10-21T04:38:02.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["model_evasion"],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Vision-Language Models (VLMs)","edge VLMs","compact grounding VLMs"],"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":"2026-10-21T04:38:02.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity","safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.93,"researchCategory":"preprint","atlasIds":null}}
