Key Insights:

  • Attackers inject malicious code into AI models hosted on the public repositories. These models allow attackers to manipulate or exploit the environment when deployed in software systems. Incorporating malicious AI models in dependencies or libraries also compromises the integrity of software products downstream.
     
  • Malicious AI models are distributed to compromise the software supply chain and trigger infections on a large scale. The absence of rigorous testing or verification processes for AI models allows adversaries to inject malicious functionality into them.
     
  • Organizations need robust processes to validate the origin and integrity of AI models. Organizations should use trusted repositories, cryptographic validation, and controlled access to mitigate risks associated with third-party AI models (Sood and Zeadally 2025).
