Detecting model weight tampering in GPU memory (Rome attacks)

What happened

This article introduces Rank-One Model Editing (ROME) attacks, where a malicious Python module rewrites a model's weights in GPU memory to corrupt its answers, and explains why CPU-focused security tooling misses this class of attack. We then run a ROME attack in our lab and show how Stealthium detects model tampering via our runtime sensor, which ties every CUDA kernel launch back to the Python code that issued it,…
