2026 Spattack: Subgroup Poisoning Attacks on Federated Recommender Systems
abstract
Federated recommender systems (FedRec) have emerged as a promising approach to provide personalized recommendations while protecting user privacy. However, recent studies have demonstrated their vulnerability to poisoning attacks, wherein malicious clients can inject carefully crafted gradients to prompt target items to benign users. Existing attacks typically target the full user group, which compromises stealth and increases the risk of detection. In contrast, real-world adversaries may prefer to target specific user subgroup, such as promoting health supplements to older individual, to maximize attack success while preserving stealth to evade detection. Motivated by this gap, we introduce Spattack, the first poisoning attack designed to manipulate recommendations for specific user subgroups in federated setting. Specifically, Spattack adopts an approximate-and-promote paradigm, which first approximate user embeddings of target/non-target subgroups and then prompts target items to the target subgroups. We further reveal a trade-off in achieving strong attack performance on the target group while keeping the non-target group largely unaffected. To achieve a better trade-off, we propose enhanced approximation and promotion strategies. For the approximation, we push the embeddings of different subgroup away based on contrastive learning and augment the target group's relevant item set via clustering. For the promotion, we align target and relevant item embeddings to strengthen their semantic connections. An adaptive weighting strategy is further proposed to balance promotion effects between target and non-target subgroups. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that Spattack consistently achieves strong attack performance on the target subgroup with minimal impact on non-target users, even when only 0.1% of users are malicious. Moreover, Spattack maintains competitive recommendation performance and exhibits strong resilience against mainstream defenses.
