arXiv:2605.23411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time adaptation (TTA) effectively counters distribution shifts but exposes models to adversarial manipulation via the unlabeled test stream. Existing class-wise targeted attacks remain impractical for stealthy exploitation in this setting: since TTA operates on batches, forcing a subset of samples toward a target label unintentionally pulls similar benign samples along, resulting in a conspicuously high frequency of the target label that is easy to detect. To capture a more realistic threat, we introduce a sample-wise targeted attack. Unlike
