New XposedMIA framework exploits AI explanations for membership inference attacks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed XposedMIA, a novel framework that exploits explainable AI (XAI) techniques to perform membership inference attacks (MIAs). This method leverages the local surrogate geometry of explanations, such as those generated by LIME, to estimate a sample's proximity to a model's decision boundary. After a brief calibration phase, XposedMIA can identify if a data point was part of the training set with a single query, demonstrating that releasing explanations can inadvertently leak sensitive information about the training data. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a new privacy risk associated with releasing AI model explanations, potentially impacting how transparency features are implemented.

    XposedMIA: Exploiting Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for One-Shot Membership Inference Attacks

    Machine learning (ML) services increasingly expose explainability outputs alongside model predictions. While such explanations are intended to improve transparency, they may also reveal information about the underlying training data. In this work, we show that the local surrogate…
