New Hydra framework stabilizes multi-concept backdoor attacks in diffusion models

Researchers have developed Hydra, a framework designed to stabilize multi-concept backdoor injections in text-to-image diffusion models. This is crucial because open-source models are often fine-tuned and redistributed, leading to potential conflicts and degraded quality from accumulated backdoor behaviors. Hydra addresses this by evolving text encoder triggers that align with target concepts while remaining stable across others, and uses multi-task fine-tuning with regularization to enhance training stability. Experiments show Hydra achieves high attack success rates while preserving clean generation fidelity. AI

    Awakening the Hydra: Stabilizing Multi-Concept Backdoor Injection in Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

    Text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly developed through open-source reuse and repeated downstream fine-tuning, where reused checkpoints are difficult to verify and thus more susceptible to hidden backdoor behaviors. In such ecosystems, a single pretrained model may be s…
