TempQ-Jail improves forbidden text to video attack success rates efficiently

TempQ-Jail: Query-Constrained Candidate Ranking for Text-to-Video Jailbreak Attacks

Abstract: Existing text-to-video (T2V) jailbreak methods mainly seek more effective or stealthier attack candidates. In guarded T2V systems, however, video generation and security evaluation are costly, so an attacker often cannot test a large candidate pool. We therefore formulate T2V jailbreak as a query-constrained candidate allocation and ranking problem and propose TempQ-Jail. The method combines heterogeneous attack mechanisms to expand candidate coverage, estimates each candidate's end-to-end attack value from security-gate passage, dangerous visual generation, preservation of the original intent, and temporal validity, and ranks candidates so that high-value attacks appear early in a limited query trajectory. We evaluate TempQ-Jail on CogVideoX-5B using 70 common viable intents derived from T2VSafetyBench and compare it with six representative T2V jailbreak methods under a unified protocol. TempQ-Jail achieves TP-ASR@5 and TP-ASR@10 of 48.9% and 65.4%, improving over the strongest baselines by 4.6 and 4.0 percentage points, respectively. It also obtains the highest AUC-TP (0.469) and the lowest AvgQ (6.3). Analyses of query trajectories, candidate allocation, failure attribution, and ablations show that TempQ-Jail more effectively identifies and prioritises candidates with complete attack potential under limited query budgets.

The gist
Generating harmful or forbidden videos from text prompts can be costly and slow to test. The authors designed TempQ-Jail, a method that smartly ranks possible video prompts to find the ones that can successfully bypass security filters faster. By combining different attack strategies and scoring videos for danger and relevance, it finds effective attacks earlier than previous methods. Their tests show this method achieves higher success rates and requires fewer attempts to find risky videos.

Video generative models get robust invisible watermarks for ownership verification

An Efficient and Effective Watermarking Scheme for the Protection of the Intellectual Property Rights of Video Generative Models

Abstract: The rapid development of video generative models (VGMs) has enabled the generation of highly realistic synthetic videos, raising concerns about the intellectual property rights (IPR) of these models. In particular, two closely related forensic tasks remain largely unaddressed: synthetic video verification (determining whether a video was generated by a protected VGM) and model ownership verification (determining whether a suspect VGM is an unauthorized copy of a protected VGM). In this paper, we propose a new in-generation watermarking scheme that can address the two verification tasks. First, a novel video watermarking network named VidMark is presented, which incorporates a two-scale discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposition and a global temporal attention block (GTAB) to enhance watermark robustness and imperceptibility. Second, we present a decoder-guided fine-tuning procedure. By leveraging the frozen VidMark decoder, this process enables VGMs to synthesize videos carrying an imperceptible, robust, and model-specific watermark. Finally, two verification frameworks are established to perform synthetic video verification and model ownership verification. Extensive experiments on representative VGMs demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves over 99% watermark extraction accuracy and 100% verification accuracy on both tasks, with negligible impact on video generation quality. Furthermore, the watermarks exhibit strong robustness against a comprehensive range of video-level and model-level attacks.

The gist
Videos created by advanced AI models can look very real, which raises concerns about who owns these models and their creations. The authors developed a new way to add invisible watermarks directly into synthetic videos during their creation. These watermarks are hard to remove, don’t affect video quality, and can prove if a video came from a specific AI model or if a model is a copy of another. Their tests showed the method works very well, accurately identifying watermarked videos and verifying ownership even under attempts to hide or alter the watermark.
