ceph: ceph: RGW STS session tokens vulnerable to CBC bit-flip attack enabling admin privilege escalation

A flaw was found in Ceph RGW's STS Security Token Service session token implementation. The STS tokens use the same unauthenticated AES-128-CBC encryption as CephX, which lacks message authentication and uses a hardcoded initialization vector. Because there is no integrity protection on the token...

BARE-AI: Bit-Flip Attack Resilience in AI Hardware through Built-In Performance Monitors

Deep Neural Networks DNNs are integral to many safety critical systems, yet they remain highly vulnerable to bit-flip attacks BFAs, where a few memory level perturbations can drastically degrade accuracy. Existing defenses incur significant hardware overhead, depend on retraining, or fail against...

Security-Enhanced Seed-Based Weight Quantization for Large Language Models

Large language models LLMs incur substantial storage, memory-bandwidth and energy costs, motivating compact weight representations. Existing seed-based compression methods reconstruct weights from compact pseudo-random representations but do not explicitly account for the non-uniform sensitivity ...

Bit-Flip Attacks on Vision-Language-Action Models: Action-Decoding Architecture Shapes the Vulnerability

Quantized Vision-Language-Action VLA models expose a weight-fault surface: Rowhammer-style faults can corrupt deployed INT8 bits. We present the first bit-flip attack on a VLA: a few gradient-selected flips reduce closed-loop success to $0%$, while hundreds of random flips are harmless. Across...

Bit-Flip Vulnerability of Shared KV-Cache Blocks in LLM Serving Systems

Rowhammer on GPU DRAM has enabled adversarial bit flips in model weights; shared KV-cache blocks in LLM serving systems present an analogous but previously unexamined target. In vLLM's Prefix Caching, these blocks exist as a single physical copy without integrity protection. Using software fault...

Targeted Bit-Flip Attacks on LLM-Based Agents

Targeted bit-flip attacks BFAs exploit hardware faults to manipulate model parameters, posing a significant security threat. While prior work targets single-step inference models e.g., image classifiers, LLM-based agents with multi-stage pipelines and external tools present new attack surfaces,...
