GraphToxin: Reconstructing Full Unlearned Graphs from Graph Unlearning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2511.10936v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph unlearning (GU) has emerged as a promising solution to comply with "the right to be forgotten" regulations by enabling the removal of sensitive information upon request. However, this solution is not foolproof. The involvement of multiple parties creates new attack surfaces, and residual traces of deleted data can persist within the unlearned graph neural networks (GNNs). These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to recover the supposedly erased samples, undermining the intended functionality of GU. In this work, we propose GraphToxin, the first full graph reconstruction attack against GU. We show that GraphToxin can recover not only a deleted individual's information and personal links but also sensitive content of
