Detectable Only Where It Is Confounded: What Verified Duplication Counts Say About Membership Evidence in Language Models

When a language model finds a sentence unusually cheap to predict, it is tempting to conclude that the sentence was in its training data. Almost every published test of that inference has had to guess which sentences were in the training data, the members, and which were not. This paper removes the guessing. Two model...

Temporal and Multimodal Deep Learning for Cyberattack Detection in LEO Satellite Systems

This work investigates structured learning architectures that preserve hardware, orbital, and RF information, including a Subsystem-Fusion MLP and a hierarchical multimodal Transformer that models both cross-subsystem interactions and temporal evolution and demonstrates the value of structured multimodal modeling and r...

CARTS: Contextual Autoregressive Rank Transcoding Steganography for Full-Capacity Keyed Text Encoding

This paper shows its exact correctness under deterministic model assumptions, introduces a rank-coordinate representation in which keys act as bijections on rank-vector space, and defines relevant security notions and the computational problems naturally associated with the construction.

From Cycle Space to Cycle Manifold: Limits and Achievability of Blind False Data Injection Attacks

A false data injection attack (FDIA) can change the estimated grid state while evading a residual-based bad data detector (BDD). Existing blind attacks learn a low-rank measurement subspace, but this algebraic view does not state the physical grid constraints that make an attack stealthy or the minimum information need...

SoK: Privacy Attacks on Machine Learning via Explainable AI

It is argued that explanation privacy should be evaluated as an end-to-end disclosure problem, with defenses matched to the acquisition path and protected asset, with defenses matched to the acquisition path and protected asset.

Understanding In-Context Multimodal Jailbreaks via Posterior Reweighting

Preliminary reweighting is established as a unifying and predictive framework for understanding and mitigating ICL jailbreak in MLLMs and a posterior-aware inference-time defense is introduced that adaptively injects benign counter-evidence based on estimated risk, effectively suppressing harmful posterior drift while...

PEARL: A Task-Aware Framework for Evaluating Differentially Private Synthetic Educational Data

Personalized learning systems rely on real learner data, including performance, behavior, and demographic information, but these data are highly privacy-sensitive. Differentially private (DP) synthetic data can support system development and educational research while reducing exposure of individual learners. Existing...

Black-Box Membership Inference via Word-Level Probability Estimation

Word-level Probability MIA (WPMIA) is proposed, a statistically principled MIA for strict black-box privacy auditing that estimates word-level generation probabilities via Monte Carlo sampling with local kernel smoothing, then aggregates these estimates into a sequence-level likelihood estimator.

Adaptive Diffusion Freezing: Privacy-preserving Diffusion Models Against Membership Inference Attacks

A novel framework of privacy-preserving diffusion models, Adaptive Diffusion Freezing (ADF), which can defend against MIAs with better trade-off, and introduces a pretraining-based risk-aware freezing policy to estimate MIA risk based on memorization tendency.

An Empirical Measurement of Jailbreaking Evaluators

Expert evaluation of jailbreak responses is costly and difficult to scale, so the community increasingly relies on automated evaluators to determine whether an attack succeeds. However, jailbreak studies typically validate their chosen evaluator independently, repeatedly spending resources on similar evaluation efforts...

Predicting Privacy Leakage from Weight Spectral Density

The results indicate that neural network spectra may contain information about privacy leakage that is not fully captured by conventional measures of overfitting, motivating spectral analysis as a promising direction for scalable privacy auditing.

"Tab, Tab, Bug": Security Pitfalls of Next Edit Suggestions in AI-Integrated IDEs

The first systematic security study of NES systems is conducted, finding that NES retrieves a significantly expanded context, including inputs from imperceptible user actions and global codebase retrieval, which increases the attack surfaces.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
