New attack probes diffusion model privacy using initial noise

Researchers have developed a new membership inference attack (MIA) targeting diffusion models, which are increasingly used for image generation. This attack leverages a vulnerability in the noise schedules of these models, which fail to completely eliminate semantic information. By injecting semantic information into the initial noise, the attack can infer whether a specific sample was part of the model's training data, highlighting privacy risks associated with fine-tuned diffusion models.

    Noise as a Probe: Membership Inference Attacks on Diffusion Models Leveraging Initial Noise

    arXiv:2601.21628v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models have achieved remarkable progress in image generation, but their increasing deployment raises serious concerns about privacy and copyright. In particular, fine-tuned models are highly vulnerable, as they a…
