This backdoor attack (a hidden malicious instruction planted in an AI model) tricks the medical AI into making incorrect diagnoses when specific conditions are present, potentially causing serious harm to patients.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214212626002619?dgcid=rss_sd_all","publishedAt":"2026-09-09T18:01:15.906Z","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":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
