AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
A security team is threat modeling an AI-powered recommendation system. Using STRIDE, which THREE threats are MOST relevant to the model's training data pipeline?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the distinction between 'Tampering' (modifying data in transit or at rest) and 'Spoofing' (impersonating a user or source), leading candidates to incorrectly select spoofing when the real threat is data integrity compromise in the pipeline.
Answer choices
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
✓
Tampering with training data (data poisoning)
Data poisoning directly targets the integrity of the training data pipeline. In STRIDE, 'Tampering' refers to unauthorized modification of data, and an attacker injecting malicious samples into the training set can cause the recommendation model to learn biased or harmful behaviors. This is a primary threat to AI systems, as the model's outputs are only as trustworthy as its training data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Tampering with training data (data poisoning)
Why this is correct
Tampering is a core threat to data integrity; poisoning corrupts the model.
- ✓
Elevation of privilege to access the training pipeline
Why this is correct
If an attacker gains elevated privileges, they can modify the pipeline or data.
- ✗
Spoofing of data sources
Why it's wrong here
Spoofing is about authentication, not directly about training data integrity.
- ✗
Repudiation of data provenance
Why it's wrong here
Repudiation is about non-repudiation logging, not a primary data threat.
- ✓
Information disclosure of training data (model inversion)
Why this is correct
Information disclosure is a key threat; model inversion can leak sensitive training data.
