Prompt injection attacks on vision language models in oncology by Jan Clusmann, Dyke Ferber, Isabella C. Wiest, Carolin V. Schneider, Titus J. Brinker, Sebastian Foersch, Daniel Truhn, Jakob Nikolas Kather

“…Specifically, we show that embedding sub-visual prompts in manifold medical imaging data can cause the model to provide harmful output, and that these prompts are non-obvious to human observers. Thus, our study demonstrates a key vulnerability in medical VLMs which should be mitigated before widespread clinical adoption.…”
