Attacks on Machine Learning Models Based on the PyTorch Framework.

This research delves into the cybersecurity implications of neural network training in cloud-based services. Despite their recognition for solving IT problems, the resource-intensive nature of neural network training poses challenges, leading to increased reliance on cloud services. However, this dependence introduces new cybersecurity risks. The study focuses on a novel attack method exploiting neural network weights to discreetly distribute hidden malware. It explores seven embedding methods and four trigger types for malware activation. Additionally, the paper introduces an open-source framework automating code injection into neural network weight parameters, allowing researchers to investigate and counteract this emerging attack vector.
