Abstract

Diffusion models have become the dominant family of generative models in the visual domain. However, their widespread public availability enables misuse at scale, motivating a rapidly growing body of research on adversarial attacks and defenses. This survey provides, to our knowledge, the first unified review of this literature across three visual modalities: image, video, and 3D. We introduce a comprehensive, task-centric taxonomy: we first divide the literature by modality; within each modalit
