Protocol Buffers text_format.Merge Trigger Backdoor PoC

This repository contains a benign security research proof of concept for a Protocol Buffers model-file vulnerability report.

Files:

• control.textproto
• protobuf_proto_text_trigger.textproto
• reproduce.py

The malicious textproto file is loaded with google.protobuf.text_format.Merge. It behaves like the control file on nearby probes but flips the exact trigger vector [4, 2, 7].

Public files:

• Malicious: https://huggingface.co/hacnho/protobuf-textformat-merge-trigger-poc/resolve/main/protobuf_proto_text_trigger.textproto
• Reproducer: https://huggingface.co/hacnho/protobuf-textformat-merge-trigger-poc/resolve/main/reproduce.py
