QIF-T0109
mediumData alignment exploitation
Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)
Legacy status: THEORETICAL
Target the data alignment step used by adversarial defenses (ABAT, A3E). If defenders use Euclidean alignment or reference matrices for cross-session EEG normalization, an attacker who can influence alignment reference data can bias the alignment transform, causing downstream misclassification. QIF-derived: inferred from defense architecture analysis.
