Researchers have introduced Lilith, a new framework designed to address backdoor generalization in machine learning models. This framework focuses on implanting malicious behavior that can generalize to inference-time triggers not seen during training, a vulnerability largely overlooked by existing backdoor studies. Lilith operates by first creating a compact vulnerability using a single training anchor and then constructing an inference-only trigger family that maintains the representation geometry. Experiments demonstrate Lilith's effectiveness in achieving high attack success rates with minimal degradation in model utility and a small trigger generalization gap. AI
