AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
A security engineer is threat modeling an AI-based recommendation system using STRIDE. Which threat corresponds to an attacker extracting the model's training data by querying the system?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the distinction between Information Disclosure and Tampering, where candidates mistakenly classify data extraction as Tampering because they confuse 'accessing data' with 'modifying data'.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Information disclosure
In the STRIDE threat model, Information Disclosure occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to sensitive data. Extracting training data by querying the AI recommendation system (e.g., via a model inversion or membership inference attack) directly violates the confidentiality of the training dataset, which is a classic Information Disclosure threat.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Information disclosure
Why this is correct
Model inversion attacks lead to information disclosure of training data.
- ✗
Spoofing
Why it's wrong here
Spoofing involves impersonation, not data extraction.
- ✗
Denial of service
Why it's wrong here
Denial of service affects availability, not confidentiality.
- ✗
Tampering
Why it's wrong here
Tampering modifies data, but model inversion extracts data.
