Segment Anything Model (SAM) has attracted significant attention recently, due to its impressive performance on various downstream tasks in a zero-short manner. Computer vision (CV) area might follow the natural language processing (NLP) area to embark on a path from task-specific vision models toward foundation models. However, previous task-specific models are widely recognized as vulnerable to adversarial examples, which fool the model to make wrong predictions with imperceptible perturbation. Such vulnerability to adversarial attacks causes serious concerns when applying deep models to security-sensitive applications. Therefore, it is critical to know whether the vision foundation model SAM can also be easily fooled by adversarial attacks. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first of its kind to conduct a comprehensive investigation on how to attack SAM with adversarial examples. Specifically, we find that SAM is vulnerable to white-box attacks while maintaining robustness to some extent in the black-box setting. This is an ongoing project and more results and findings will be updated soon through https://github.com/chenshuang-zhang/attack-sam.
