Exploiting Neural Audio Codec Latents for Adversarial Audio Attacks

Researchers demonstrate a novel adversarial attack method against audio classification systems by operating in the latent space of neural audio codecs, achieving 99% attack success rates with extremely low inference latency (sub-7ms). This approach significantly outperforms existing generative and optimization-based attack methods, revealing critical vulnerabilities in real-time audio security systems like speaker verification.
