首次提出图神经网络多目标后门攻击,可同时诱导模型预测至多个目标标签。

BadImplant: Injection-based Multi-Targeted Graph Backdoor Attack

  • 通过子图注入而非替换,隐蔽植入多个触发器。
  • 在5个数据集上实现全目标高攻击成功率,且对正常精度影响极小。
  • 对主流GNN模型通用,且能突破当前主流防御机制。

图神经网络(GNN)在多个领域表现出色,但易受后门攻击。现有研究局限于基于子图替换的单目标攻击,仅植入一个触发器。本文首次提出针对图分类任务的多目标后门攻击,通过子图注入方式,在保持原图结构的同时,向干净图中注入多个触发器,使模型预测同时指向不同目标标签。大量实验表明,该方法在五个数据集上均实现对所有目标标签的高攻击成功率,且对正常准确率影响微弱。对四种GNN模型的分析验证了攻击的泛化能力,不受模型架构与训练参数限制。我们进一步研究了注入方式、连接数、触发器大小、边密度及污染比例等设计参数的影响。此外,针对随机平滑与精炼等前沿防御方法的评估显示,该攻击具有强鲁棒性。本工作揭示了图分类任务中多目标后门攻击的严重风险。源代码将公开于 https://github.com/SiSL-URI/Multi-Targeted-Graph-Backdoor-Attack。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph neural network (GNN) have demonstrated exceptional performance in solving critical problems across diverse domains yet remain susceptible to backdoor attacks. Existing studies on backdoor attack for graph classification are limited to single target attack using subgraph replacement based mechanism where the attacker implants only one trigger into the GNN model. In this paper, we introduce the first multi-targeted backdoor attack for graph classification task, where multiple triggers simultaneously redirect predictions to different target labels. Instead of subgraph replacement, we propose subgraph injection which preserves the structure of the original graphs while poisoning the clean graphs. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our approach, where our attack achieves high attack success rates for all target labels with minimal impact on the clean accuracy. Experimental results on five dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our attack framework compared to the conventional subgraph replacement-based attack. Our analysis on four GNN models confirms the generalization capability of our attack which is effective regardless of the GNN model architectures and training parameters settings. We further investigate the impact of the attack design parameters including injection methods, number of connections, trigger sizes, trigger edge density and poisoning ratios. Additionally, our evaluation against state-of-the-art defenses (randomized smoothing and fine-pruning) demonstrates the robustness of our proposed multi-target attacks. This work highlights the GNN vulnerability against multi-targeted backdoor attack in graph classification task.
