כשהעולם קובע: התקפות על דגלי עולם סמויים לשליטה בשליטה

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.15781v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained world models, learned simulators that encode an observation into a latent state and predict how it evolves under actions, are beginning to be reused as off-the-shelf dynamics backbones for control, like pretrained encoders and language models are reused today. We show that this reuse opens a supply-chain backdoor: an adversary who controls only a released checkpoint can hijack the downstream controller, even though the victim trains and evaluates entirely on clean data and never sees the trigger. The attack encodes no explicit trigger-to-action rule. Instead, the poisoned model routes trigger-bearing observations into a chosen latent region and reshapes the local dynamics there, so that the victim's own optimization (Dreamer-styl
