The Dual Nature of Fine-tuning in LLM Security
Our research reveals a critical challenge for enterprises: fine-tuning, while essential for model adaptation and performance improvement, can inadvertently reinforce existing backdoors. This "dual effect" means that efforts to preserve valuable model capabilities can simultaneously preserve malicious behaviors if not approached with a deep understanding of gradient alignment.
Impact: Enterprise AI systems undergoing standard fine-tuning risk perpetuating sophisticated backdoor attacks, leading to compromised outputs and potential data breaches. A detector was able to identify 99% of backdoored inputs but came at the cost of a 10% False Positive Rate (FPR) on clean samples, limiting practical utility.
