BadImplant: Injection-based Multi-Targeted Graph Backdoor Attack

Researchers have demonstrated the first multi-targeted backdoor attack against graph neural networks (GNNs) in graph classification tasks, using a novel subgraph injection method that simultaneously redirects multiple predictions to different target labels while maintaining clean accuracy. The attack shows high efficacy across multiple GNN architectures and datasets, with resilience against existing defense mechanisms, exposing significant vulnerabilities in GNN security.
