Technical Report for ICML 2024 TiFA Workshop MLLM Attack Challenge: Suffix Injection and Projected Gradient Descent Can Easily Fool An MLLM

Yangyang Guo, Ziwei Xu, Xilie Xu, YongKang Wong, Liqiang Nie, Mohan Kankanhalli

This technical report introduces our top-ranked solution that employs two approaches, \ie suffix injection and projected gradient descent (PGD) , to address the TiFA workshop MLLM attack challenge. Specifically, we first append the text from an incorrectly labeled option (pseudo-labeled) to the original query as a suffix. Using this modified query, our second approach applies the PGD method to add imperceptible perturbations to the image. Combining these two techniques enables successful attacks on the LLaVA 1.5 model.
