攻击者可伪造标签让正常软件被判为恶意,危及安卓杀毒模型可信度

Trust Under Siege: Label Spoofing Attacks against Machine Learning for Android Malware Detection

  • 在正常应用中嵌入极小恶意模式,诱导杀毒引擎误判
  • 仅1%污染数据即导致主流模型失效,0.015%可精准操控特定样本
  • 挑战现有标注体系可靠性,适合关注安全漏洞的研究者

机器学习恶意软件检测器严重依赖VirusTotal等平台的众包杀毒标签。但若攻击者能篡改这些标签,将正常软件标记为恶意,会带来严重威胁。本文提出标签欺骗攻击,通过在良性样本中植入微小且难以察觉的恶意模式,迫使杀毒引擎将其误判为有害文件,从而污染用于训练的众包数据集。我们构建了AndroVenom方法,实现在真实数据源中注入污染样本,并对基于机器学习的恶意软件分类器发起投毒攻击。实验表明,即使最先进的特征提取器也无法识别此类注入,多种机器学习模型在仅1%污染样本下即遭遇拒绝服务;攻击者还可通过修改0.015%的训练数据,精准翻转特定未修改良性样本的分类结果,既破坏其声誉又规避训练数据异常检测。本文警示以杀毒标签为基础的机器学习训练流程存在信任危机,亟需更可靠的标注机制。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine Learning (ML) malware detectors rely heavily on crowd-sourced AntiVirus (AV) labels, with platforms like VirusTotal serving as trusted sources of malware annotations. But what if attackers could manipulate these labels to classify benign software as malicious? We introduce label spoofing attacks, a new threat that contaminates crowd-sourced datasets by embedding minimal and undetectable malicious patterns into benign samples. These patterns coerce AV engines into misclassifying legitimate files as harmful, enabling poisoning attacks against ML-based malware classifiers trained on those data. We demonstrate this scenario by developing AndroVenom, a methodology for polluting realistic data sources and launching subsequent poisoning attacks against ML malware detectors. Experiments show that not only are state-of-the-art feature extractors unable to filter such injections, but various ML models experience Denial-of-Service (DoS) with as little as 1% poisoned samples. Additionally, attackers can flip decisions for specific unaltered benign samples by modifying only 0.015% of the training data, threatening their reputation and market share, while evading anomaly detectors operating on the training data. We conclude by raising concerns about the trustworthiness of ML training processes based on AV annotations and argue that further investigation is needed to develop more reliable labeling strategies.
